### 5/5 — Exactly what I’ve been looking for

*2026-01-22*

Seriously, thank you for taking the time to make this app. I’ve been feeling that it was cumbersome to always use a browser. I’ll be donating something as soon as I can

### 5/5 — The app ControlD forgot

*2025-11-25, version 1.1.0*

The app works flawlessly and gives you the native app for ControlD. Thanks to this kind and obviously skilled programmer I enjoy this app daily which is extremely helpful when checking the function of the filters. Please add a „Tip the developer“ function in your app - I would like to say thanks.

### 4/5 — Any new updates?

*2025-08-10*

I would love to pay to see any extra features and changes , example UI for profiles seems a bit too big. Suggestions maybe give us the option to change the size , second I would like to see whenever I open the app I see my stats first rather than my endpoints , followed by logs and endpoints last. I did pay for the app and also the NextDNS hub so i am grateful for the work you put into the app. Thanks

### 5/5 — Great control app

*2025-03-06, version 1.0.0*

It works great except for a few exceptions where it links to the website! Thanks a lot!

### 1.2.0 — 2025-12-27

Analytics upgraded. Bugs downgraded.
ControlD’s move to analytics v2 caused a small identity crisis for our Stats and Logs. After some admittedly boring reverse-engineering and an under-the-hood revamp, the crisis is resolved.

- Complete backend overhaul for stats and logs handlers
- Cleaner Settings view with better organization
- Personal touch: Showcased some of my other work in Settings. Check them out if you’re curious.

Improvements
- Mobile stats layout: Network sources and destinations now display in easy-to-read vertical stacks on phones
- Security overview redesign: On mobile, compact rows with icon, percentage, and title in one line. On desktop, a clean vertical layout with aligned metrics
- Smart reload prevention: Stats page caches data with a 30-second minimum between reloads
- Consistent spacing across all security metrics
- Better readability with subtle alternating row colors
- Settings polish with updated button colors
- ASN visibility fixed on mobile and desktop
- Localization ready: All visible text overhauled to support localization

Bug Fixes
- Fixed stats page reloading on every tab switch
- Resolved encrypted DNS showing 0 percent on first load
- Fixed ASN data disappearing on mobile screens
- Corrected security overview alignment on compact displays
- Fixed changelog banner display across all tabs
