## What is CheckMy!Box?

CheckMy!Box is the ideal app to access your AVM FRITZ!Box:
1. Show the FRITZ!Box Call List 
2. Playback and delete voice box messages of your FRITZ!Box answering machine
3. Display and delete fax messages received by your FRITZ!Box fax machine

Multiple FRITZ!Box devices can be configured (e.g. Private, Office etc.). In addition you can combine several lists as groups to easily get an overview across all your devices.

The voice box messages and received fax documents will be downloaded from the Fritz!Box, stored within the app and can be accessed also in offline mode when your iPhone cannot connect to the Fritz!Box. Access to the FRITZ!Box is also possible outside your local WiFi network if the option "Grant access to storage to users from the Internet" is enabled and you configured the MyFRITZ! service or a dynamic DNS domain name in your Fritz!Box. 

Prerequisites for using the app: 
- You need an AVM Fritz!Box
- Voice box and fax messages: Answering or fax machine must be configured in your Fritz!Box.

Currently the AVM Fritz!Box models 7590, 7490 and 6490 with the latest firmware are supported. In principle it should also be possible to use other Fritz!Box models with this app, but those were not yet tested. If you have feedback about using the app with other models please let us know by sending an email to support@checkmybox.de. In case the file format or the way messages are stored by the Fritz!Box answering or fax machine should be changed in future firmware versions, we'll make all effort to adopt this app accordingly. Nevertheless it cannot be guaranteed that this is technically possible in all cases. 

The app comes with a detailed setup wizard which easily guides you through step-by-step instructions on how to configure your Fritz!Box and the required settings within the app. If you have questions, suggestions for improvements or need help in setting up this app, please don't hesitate to send an email to support@checkmybox.de. We're happy to assist you and your feedback is highly appreciated.

### 3/5 — Info zu Anrufen leider sehr verzögert

*2026-06-05, version 3.7.4*

Ich nutze die App schon viele Jahre. Grundsätzlich gut, aber leider werden Anrufe erst mehrere Stunden zeitversetzt auf meinem iPhone gemeldet und die Aktualisierung von extern funktioniert trotz korrekter Einstellungen nicht.

### 1/5 — Wozu…🤷🏻‍♂️

*2026-06-02, version 3.7.4*

… mache ich mir die Arbeit die Fritz!Box mit der App zu verbinden, wenn sie nicht funktioniert, wenn man sie benötigt? Deaktiviert und endgültig gelöscht

### 5/5 — Läuft noch immer!

*2024-10-17, version 3.7.4*

Obwohl die App seit Ewigkeiten kein Update mehr bekommen hat läuft sie noch immer. Für mich ist sie eine gute Ergänzung zu den Fritz Apps. 

iPhone 13 mini mit iOS 17.7
Fritz!Box 7590 mit Fritz!OS 7.59

Hoffentlich funktioniert sie mit iOS 18 und der nächsten Fritz!Box auch noch oder bekommt dann ein Upgrade.

### 3/5 — Besser als Nix, aber

*2024-08-08, version 3.7.4*

Nette App, Aber leider kein Support oder Weiterentwicklung mehr. 

Bug# Ich habe eine Rufnummer an meine Untermieter gegeben und in der Liste ausgefiltert. Bekomme aber zu jeden Aneuf auf diese Nummer eine. Pushnachricht

Fehlendes Feature# Anrufe per Klick ins Sperradressbuch werfen das diese künftig nicht mehr erscheinen

### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht mehr

*2024-01-30, version 3.7.4*

App funktioniert nicht mehr

### 4/5 — Läuft nicht unter iOS 16.6

*2023-06-29, version 3.7.4*

Leider läuft die App unter 16.6 Beta nicht mehr. 🤒

### 1/5 — Irreführende Beschreibung

*2023-01-08, version 3.7.4*

4,99€ in den Wind geschossen. Nur für Telefon geeignet. Für Einstellungen vom Wlan wird man auf die Seite der Fritzbox weiter geleitet. Absolut kein Mehrwert und dafür Geld verlangen. Erstattung angeblich nicht möglich.

### 2/5 — Mehrwert

*2022-11-29, version 3.7.4*

Die App könnte schon einen Mehrwert liefern. Aber sie ist schwierig einzurichten und jetzt bekomme ich Meldungen über eingegangene Anrufe, aber etwa 6 Stunden später. Wozu das dienen soll, ist mir schleierhaft.

### 5/5 — Super programmiert

*2022-11-23, version 3.7.4*

Bin begeistert von der App. Funktioniert alles wie beschrieben. Super

### 1/5 — Keine Funktion

*2022-11-13, version 3.7.4*

Es ist schön, daß die Anwendung momentan kostenlos ist. Ich habe sie gleich einmal ausprobiert. Leider zeigt sie nach der Einrichtung keinerlei Aktivitäten an. Das Programm ist also nicht nur kostenlos sondern auch funktionslos. Alle in der Beschreibung aufgelisteten Funktionen erfüllen auch die Apps von AVM selbst. So ist die Installation von Checkmybox unnötig.
