### 1/5 — Unable to get off Connection Screen

*2025-10-29, version 1.18.0*

Maybe you should do some testing on this App. I can connect/disconnect.. but then what?

### 1/5 — Good app, but UI broken

*2025-06-20, version 1.16.2*

The keyboard is no way to hide. I was thinking to buy the app, but this bug is too annoying

### 1/5 — Poor support for an unreliable app

*2025-03-08*

I bought the Plus version and have been using it for years. It periodically wipes out its own configuration, such that I need to set up the broker and shortcuts from scratch. When I contacted the author he basically said “sorry I don’t know why that happens.”

### 1/5 — Easy MQTT

*2024-09-04, version 1.16.2*

the most unintuitive MQTT I have come across.

### 2/5 — Buggy, however, it has great potential with nice UI.

*2024-03-06, version 1.16.0*

I really wanted to use this app however when setting up a broker, the broken buttons would duplicate when pressing connect, there is no error feedback so I don't know what was wrong with the connection but I could not get connected in this app. No problem connecting elsewhere.

### 2/5 — Not good

*2024-02-02*

Just like other reviews have stated, app won’t connect. I also can’t paste from my clipboard  into the payload section.

### 2/5 — Many broken features

*2023-11-15, version 1.14.0*

There is no way to hide the keyboard after entering connection details without restarting the app.

You can only see upto 100 messages and it doesn’t save the history, could easily be stored locally don’t know why they want money to do this.

When subscribed to a feed it can be a bit annoying to actually see the messages, have to open and close the subscription tab a few times till they start coming through.

### 3/5 — Older iOS Support

*2023-10-08*

I love the app on my newer iOS devices. Wish it still supported iOS < 16. I have a few older Apple devices that I cannot install it on.

### 1/5 — Instructions?

*2023-07-25*

Why do you have an app out there that has no actual instructions about? How do use it? I’ve gone to your website, and all you say is fill in the blanks. But the terms you use are not being used on other programs, like mosquito, or the Adafruit.
If you can’t tell us what goes where, resulting in never being able to connect, then the app is worthless.

**Developer response:** Hello! I’m looking to improve the documentation a bit, would you be able to reach out on discord (link in the app) or at contact@easymqtt.app? It would help a lot!

### 1/5 — Does nothing but connect

*2023-05-29*

Other MQTT clients on my phone, Mac connect just fine and show messages on subscribed topics. Not this app.
