### 2/5 — IOS26.1

*2025-11-07, version 6.11.1*

funktioniert leider nicht vollwertig unter iOS26.1. DieVMs sind nicht mehr sichtbar und steuerbar

### 2/5 — Not great

*2025-07-20, version 6.11.0*

As of today (July 2025), I had a hard time connecting to my server, and once I succeeded, I was disappointed to realize that the features of this paid app were not as good or complete as the free version of tools like NeoServer.

### 4/5 — Funktioniert

*2025-01-30, version 6.9.3*

Funktioniert nur mit dem Plugin. Grafisch könnte da noch einiges gemacht werden. Sonst aber gut.

### 2/5 — Bisher gut aber seit kurzem nicht mehr verwendbar

*2024-12-31, version 6.9.3*

Hat bisher immer tip top funktioniert und war auch sehr zufrieden. Seit ein paar Monaten wird der Server immer als offline angezeigt und wenn man diesen hinzufügen möchte ist dieser nicht erreichbar. Von überall sonst mit den gleichen Daten allerdings erreichbar.

### 3/5 — Buggy and not a lot of functionality

*2024-11-07, version 6.9.3*

Riddled with bugs and poor functionality. Would be 4 stars if it wasn’t bug-riddled!

### 2/5 — Used to work

*2024-09-02, version 6.7.1*

Dockers are not showing up for some reason.

### 4/5 — Dear dev

*2024-03-20, version 6.3.0*

I love being able to bounce dockers from my phone easily -  but please give me haptic feedback when I click the restart - I know the icon changes but feedback letting me know it was accepted would be frigging awesome

### 3/5 — Handy but limited

*2023-12-25, version 5.5.0*

Would like to be able to deep dive load, some sort of htop or the like. Right now there is really not a good trouble shooting view or log filtering.

Otherwise it’s handy for remote access and kicking the occasional docker or vm.

### 2/5 — It’s ok

*2023-08-31, version 5.5.0*

It’s good, but it keeps dropping my saved server.

### 2/5 — Needs Widgets

*2023-01-06, version 5.2.1*

One of the main things I was looking forwards to in an Unraid management app was widgets. A start/stop button for a favorite container, available space, CPU/RAM usage. Why aren’t there widgets yet?

### 2/5 — Clicking the Mover crashes

*2022-04-06, version 5.1.0*

Clicking the mover button crashes the app in the latest version. Please fix

### 3/5 — Removed functionality in latest update

*2021-07-28, version 5.0.4*

Latest update removed ability to open webui of a docker from ControlR. Just says coming soon”, why do that when it was a feature? Hopefully “soon” doesn’t take too long!

Otherwise, latest update looks real nice.

### 1/5 — Does not work on 6.9

*2021-03-06, version 4.16.0*

Just got this and realised it does not work with 6.9 little bit annoying wasted a fiver

### 1/5 — App not stable and not discovering server over lan. Money waste!!

*2020-12-29, version 4.16.0*

Spend to much time to setup and not working

### 1/5 — Can connect anymore

*2025-07-05, version 6.11.0*

Used to work well.  Doesn’t see the server online anymore so won’t connect or re-add.

### 1/5 — Log not working

*2025-04-07, version 6.9.5*

It's not worth buying. The only useful option that could have been used doesn’t even work. It's impossible to view logs from the system, docker, or anything else. The rest of the features are useless.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2025-01-09, version 6.9.3*

Servers shown as offline. Repair or give money back!

### 1/5 — Fully broken

*2025-01-08, version 6.9.3*

Apparently app is reporting server offline while I entered all data correctly and also tested with browser. No support options in app, will have to use the painful apple process to undo the purchase.

### 1/5 — Seit aktuellem iOS 18.1 und iPad OS 17.7.2

*2024-12-30, version 6.9.3*

funktioniert die App nicht mehr. Direkt nach dem Start sieht man nur einen schwarzen Bildschirm ohne jegliche Inhalte.Auch Reboots und Mehrfach Starts bringen keine Abhilfe.

Nach Wochen weder ein Update noch irgendeine Reaktion vom Entwickler. Extrem schlechter Service!!!

### 1/5 — Don’t Bother - Not Updated

*2023-05-08, version 5.2.1*

Basically completely stopped working at this point with no signs of an update. Do yourself a favor and stay away.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money and time on this app

*2022-08-06, version 5.1.0*

App is not responsive and not functioning properly.

### 1/5 — Well, that was a waste of money…

*2021-11-23, version 5.0.7*

This app is sooo basic, I feel ripped off for buying it.
There isn’t much you can do in it, it gives you 5% of the abilities available in the web ui, works poorly (for example loading gif symbol will not disappear).
I wish I didn’t buy it and recommend you won’t too.

### 1/5 — Can’t connect to server

*2021-08-29, version 5.0.7*

On Unraid 6.10 I can’t connect. I get an not ending loading screen.

### 1/5 — App is broken iPhone 7

*2021-08-03, version 5.0.4*

Garbage will not show at all just has huge text and no GUI do not buy waste of money.

### 5/5 — Endlich ein passendes App

*2024-04-26, version 6.4.1*

Bin schon seit Anfang an bei Unraid und habe echt nach so einer Lösung gesucht weil das ständige über Browser auf dem Handy ist echt lästig. Habe diverse Apps probiert aber keines war so wie das hier, die wichtigsten infos und Funktionen die für mich relevant sind sind da. Die Kohle war es Wert.

Bitte weiter Entwickeln und grafisch vielleicht Attraktiver gestalten. Das wäre noch die Kirsche auf der Sahnetorte :D

### 5/5 — Works

*2022-11-26, version 5.1.0*

I wanted an app to start VMs from my phone. This app does the trick.

 Unraid v6.11.5. iOS 16.1

### 5/5 — Does exactly what I need it too.

*2022-07-10, version 5.1.0*

I only bought this app to restart my Plex docker from my couch to avoid walking over to my main PC. 10/10 app!

### 5/5 — The new update is great!

*2021-07-20, version 5.0.2*

Thanks for the continuous support

### 5/5 — Work in progress

*2021-07-19, version 5.0.0*

The app and its functionality is progressing and I’m very keen to the the QR setup work 😊

### 5/5 — Prima App

*2021-06-14, version 4.17.0*

Für meinen Zweck der perfekte Funktionsumfang.

### 5/5 — Great app for unRAID

*2020-04-02, version 4.16.0*

This is perfect for quick server stats at a glance. My lone request is to provide disk temps for unassigned drives

### 5/5 — Fantastic app, but understand what it is

*2019-02-08, version 4.6.0*

This app is super handy to monitor my server , dockers and VM’s

It’s not full control, you can’t add new dockers but getting a quick overview, spinning up/down drives. Starting dockers without going though the web interface (which works on mobile but has a lot of zooming in) I find it great.

### 5/5 — Fantastic app for a niche product

*2019-02-08, version 4.6.0*

Really great to see someone developing an app for a niche product like Unraid.

This is a great alternative to the web UI and makes it a lot less likely I’ll restart the server by accident with my fat sausage like fingers.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2018-10-03, version 4.2.0*

The app comes in very handy and probably the best support out of all the apps I have installed.
