Love that I can now easily toggle OpenVPN Client without going through all the web menu since it's harder to navigate on a smaller screen. It may not be the best app for advancement management but I don't feel the need for that as my router was setup with my laptop. This is great for quick changes and looking at stats. Keep up the great work. ### 5/5 — Very good work *2015-11-01, version 2.4.2* Very nice app, and lots of Features. Look forward to even more in the future. ### 5/5 — Great app *2015-10-21, version 2.4.2* Love the app!! Although I have to say it did take a little bit to figure out how to connect from the Internet. But after spending a little time working on it I thing I've got it down pretty good. One thing I'd like to added to the home screen (system Info) is the temps. Just a quick connect to check temps rather than having to go to the webUI. Other than that I can make any necessary changes on the fly. App has a nice well thought out user interface. Had a few hiccups with iOS 9. But, working great again. ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2015-10-11* I use this app almost daily to monitor/configure DDWRT based routers. If you have one, do not hesitate to get this app!!! ### 5/5 — Great App *2015-07-31, version 2.4* I really like the app, gives very quick access to the most often used info and setup screens and the app automatically enters the password. I especially like the Live Data button that shows all currently attached wireless clients and their signal strengths. There is also a viewer for LAN or WAN bandwidth usage. All router features can be accessed using the Web Interface button just like a web browser would only you get there faster. There's also a button to restart the router, very cool. ### 5/5 — Awesome App!!! (Also DD-WRT in general) *2015-04-18, version 2.3.8* This app is amazing for the nerdy network tech. I only have one active DD-WRT router right now. Sure you can use your web browser on the phone but I find this app faster than using a browser. I just VPN into the router (an amazing feature on the DD-WRT firmware) and then connect with the app from anywhere. Thanks so much to the developers and the whole team. DD-WRT and this app make my networks easier to maintain. Hats off and keep doing what you are doing! ### 5/5 — Small Suggestion Regarding WOL in DD-WRT for iOS *2015-03-17, version 2.3.7* DD-WRT is one of the apps that I use everyday because of the WOL function. Adding a shortcut in the home screen, you can turn on your computer by just touching the icon. However, I want this app to be more convenient and do the job faster. When you touch the WOL shortcut, it opens DD-WRT app automatically and it shows the message “Sending magic packet …” You will wait for a few second until the message disappears. However, the computer turns on before the message disappears. Actually, it turns on at the same time the message appears, which may mean that the pop-up message does not need to stay that long. I mean waiting for a few seconds can be reduced. Moreover, I want this app to terminate itself automatically right after successfully sending magic packets so that I can do another job. I would be glad if you take this into the consideration. ### 5/5 — Must Have for DD-WRT Router Owners! *2015-03-15, version 2.3.7* If you have a DD-WRT router, this is the app for you! This app is very easy to setup, and very powerful. I love having all of the power of the DD-WRT control panel in the palm of my hand. No more having to open a computer and login via web browser to take care of an issue, as I can quickly fire up this app and do everything I need to on my iPhone. Also, if you have any issues or questions, the developer offers fast and friendly support. I was having an issue getting one of the features working correctly, so I emailed Darren (the developer) and he had my question taken care of within a day. If you are looking for an easy, yet fully-featured way to manage your DD-WRT router/network, look no further! Highly recommended! ### 5/5 — Great app *2014-12-22* Easy, fast way of looking at your dd-wrt router without having to go through a browser. ### 5/5 — Great app, great developer *2014-11-17* Love dd-wrt and its ability to wash my house in glorious UK wifi (expat in Germany here). Love that I can finally manage it all on my phone! And the Dev is awesome. Been really helpful and responsive! Thanks for a great app!! ### 5/5 — Works well, but... (UPDATED) *2014-10-22, version 2.3* *UPDATE* This app now posts monthly totals! That along with the ease of MAC filtering makes this app PERFECT! Kiddos to the author(s)! Almost everything about this app works well, except it doesn't post the total monthly WAN data usage for each month. You can only see individual usage per day amongst each month. It would be extremely useful to see monthly totals for the purpose of monitoring data usage within a ISP data cap. ### 5/5 — Super application *2014-09-03* Facile à utiliser ! ### 5/5 — Works as described *2014-08-03* Works prefect! ### 4/5 — Great app for quick configurations! *2014-07-18, version 2.2* Great app, easy to use and many options to manage the dd-wrt routers, maybe could perform the interface but nothing more. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Does not work with Astrill VPN service anymore *2016-02-03* Bought this app to switch my vpn off and on as required. It has not worked for me for months now and no response from developer. ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2014-06-20, version 2.1.1* This app was a huge waste of money. The only thing it's good for is displaying information. Trying to change pretty much any setting will load the regular web interface within the app. Yes peoples, I kid you not. This 3.99$ app actually load the basic, stock web interface inside it. Apple should block this app as this is just a money grab. ### 1/5 — Still using my browser to access my router! *2014-05-04* Purchased to use the Astrill VPN portion of the app and It does not work. I have gone back to using my browser to access my router and I should have never bought this app. It cost $4 for something that shows your network traffic and remembers your routers PW. Most of the function push to a browser which I already have and now continue to use. You have 15 minutes to get a refund, I wish I had acted sooner! ### 2/5 — Nothing special, not worth $4 *2014-02-27, version 2.1.1* This is a very basic gui for the dd-wrt firmware with very few functions availale to actually control the router. You need to use the web interface to do the majority of the router configuration. Again, if you are expecing something robust when you are about pay $4 you are in for disappointment. Just use the web browser on you phone. ### 2/5 — Lacks a Lot of Features *2013-08-20* It has very limited native support for anything. It would be nice in particular to have static IP assignments and startup commands. It is certainly not worth the money charged for it. At least it means you don't have to log in to access the web interface. ### 3/5 — Crashed first few times I used it. But now it seems to work. *2014-08-30* When I first got this app it would crash each time I tried to get the server list. For some reason it stared working one week after I first tried it. I didn't change anything, but It connected on its own. So this is a edited version if my first review. I've changed the rating from one to three. ### 3/5 — It's OK *2013-03-08, version 2.0.2* The app works and functions fine. It does give you plenty of stats if that is of interest to you. For my needs however it was a waste of $4 because I can do everything it does via the web interface. I had high hopes for the app but honestly it just didn't add any functionality for my needs over the web interface. ### 3/5 — Nice application but yes a bit rough. *2012-12-21, version 1.1.7* Several functions are only links to the web interface and some info such as the graphs (both live and not) are a bit roughy to figure out or sometime do not display correct information. It is by far however the best application for this purpose. ### 4/5 — Nice, but still lacking *2015-01-17, version 2.3.5* Excellent app. Worth it- but hopefully more updates to come as well as additional features. ### 4/5 — Brilliant app *2014-08-05* If you use DD-WRT firmware on your router you've probably found that its web GUI doesn't work very well in a mobile browser such as iOS Safari. This great little app connects to your router and allows you to access and amend all your router settings through a fast and cleanly designed GUI. My only criticism would be that the cost of the app seems quite high, but I've found it very useful so it was money well spent. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2018-12-15, version 2.6* Thanks to developers for making a great app. I use it daily to access my DDWRT enabled router. ### 5/5 — Perfect app *2018-06-24, version 2.5.7* This is exactly what I was looking for. It works, is very quick and responsive UI, and does pretty much everything you're ever going to want to control from your phone on your Network. Thank you to the developer!! ### 5/5 — Great App *2018-05-19, version 2.5.7* I love this app. Now I can remotely manage my DD-WRT router when I am away from home. Nice GUI. Can’t wait for more features to be added in the future. ### 5/5 — TinCanTalk *2017-08-20, version 2.5.3* Great app I use it to manage 3 routers ### 5/5 — Exceeds expectations *2017-02-24, version 2.5* If you have flashed your router with ddwrt, you like to fiddle, and this makes fiddling easier. Would buy again ### 5/5 — Best tool for managing DD-WRT *2016-11-27, version 2.4.4* Works always all the time. This is a fantastic support tool for dd-wrt whether you are local or remote to your router. The user support is also fantastic. I had many questions after purchasing the tool, and configuring it and the developer was there returning my emails in short order, and offering working solutions. ### 5/5 — Excellent companion to the DD-WRT router. *2016-08-21* I flashed a TP-Link router with DD-WRT but that left me without an app I could use for simple tasks on my router. (TP-Link comes with an app.) Now I can perform complex tasks on my home router from anywhere I can get a wifi or cell phone signal. The dual interface is great as well. (Streamlined app or web portal.) ### 5/5 — Continue finding new features... *2016-08-11, version 2.4.3* I always please to have DD-WRT app control in my phone, appreciate the "duo" interface (ios, or web when needed) and continue finding new features. Recently tweaking with VPN, found out that app allows remotely turn on/off OpenVPN client. Awesome! Thanks. ### 5/5 — Awesome Firmware meets Awesome Utility *2016-06-11, version 2.4.3* This app is fantastic. Changing settings on my router is a breeze and a pleasure. The only thing that would make the app even better (the proverbial icing on an already delicious cake) would be TouchID support, so I don't have to type in my four digit passcode every time I want to modify or see the status of something on my router. Thanks again for making such an awesome app! ### 5/5 — No longer works on 7.1x with latest kong++ *2015-12-04, version 2.4.2* Most functions and pages are no longer working or loading on iOS 7.1 with latest kingkong 2200++ Update: My fault last night I must have been tripping. I removed the router and re-imputed the credentials and it works now. Still some minor issues but for the most part it works. Hope they find a way to fix the certificate thing on 9.x so I can finally upgrade. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
