### 2/5 — Clunky UI, crashes frequently

*2021-01-17, version 4.0.0*

The UI for adding clients is very clunky and buggy, featuring a totally unnecessary "edit" mode (should be able to hit "+" without entering "edit" mode, and should be able to remove clients by simply left-swiping on them), a totally unnecessary toggle switch on each client entry, and controls that do not always accurately show/hide/disable with the state of "edit mode".

The app repeatedly crashes while trying to connect to clients to show their info; seems like it happens whenever it can't successfully connect to a configured client for some reason.

While it's nice to have an FAH client app on iPhone, this one needs a lot of work to get the quality up to an acceptable level.

### 3/5 — Useful but glitchy

*2020-09-19*

Good when it works, but crashes a lot. Often it shows old data, and needs to be killed and restarted to refresh.
Also, if a machine is off when the app is run, the app automatically disables it in settings, so it has to be manually reenabled next time
In summary, seems to be the only F@H monitor app in town, but could be a lot better

### 3/5 — Nothing fancy, works fine

*2020-03-14, version 3.0.0*

I was skeptical due to the review which says this doesn’t work, but thought I’d try anyway. The UI is a bit clunky and strange, but it functions just fine. I have a simple setup with one host and no password or SSH tunnel needed. I entered the name and hostname, saved the settings, and it started working immediately.

### 3/5 — Cool but not finished

*2017-08-16, version 2.0.0*

This is great for clients running the full client, but that's only 1/3 of my machines and 1/6 of the projects I'm currently folding for. The rest are admin and browser folding: Figure out how to make this work on those and it'll get 2 more stars.

### 4/5 — Pretty neat, but...

*2015-07-07, version 2.0.0*

The link for instructions is broken within the app, but I Googled it and found out how to set it up.  

Press and hold is key...

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2015-06-25, version 2.0.0*

Same as everyone else. It doesn't do anything.

### 1/5 — Does nothing

*2015-06-15, version 2.0.0*

There is nothing to configure or change. I have three devices running f@h but this doesn't give me anywhere to log into those. Is there an actual f@h app for iPad?

### 1/5 — Does not work at all.

*2015-01-18, version 2.0.0*

Nothing works

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2015-01-10, version 2.0.0*

App seems to be broken. Asking it be configured but you can't configure a host. Only button that responds to touch is ADD but that keeps adding more lines of hosts that you still can't configure.

### 2/5 — Won't let me add my computer

*2015-01-07*

Like title said , won't allow me to configure a computer then it crashes 
I like taut SOMONE has at least made a mobile app so when I'm out I can see the progress

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2014-12-17, version 2.0.0*

App doesn't working with iPhone 6 running iOS 8.1.2

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — What the FK is this app intended for

*2020-05-07, version 3.0.0*

Poorly written, and incompressible. There’s no way to understand how you’re supposed to key in your existing pc configurations into this app.

### 1/5 — Incoherent

*2020-04-09, version 3.0.0*

This app is incoherent. The icons and UX make no sense, and there is no clear way to add existing F@H clients.

### 1/5 — Setup too complicated

*2020-03-29*

This app needs more setup instructions to be of any use.

### 1/5 — Sad

*2020-03-22, version 3.0.0*

Doesn’t work

**Developer response:** Any more details you could share where you face trouble. It would help to improve ...

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2020-03-22*

This app is a waste of time, the instructions are a waste of time, wasted my time please don’t waste your time

### 1/5 — Don’t bother downloading

*2019-02-26, version 3.0.0*

Doesn’t work, Hostname, password, etc followed the description. Doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — App quits on start up

*2018-02-10, version 3.0.0*

Start app. Asks for access to calendar and to send push alerts and then quits.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2016-12-13, version 2.0.0*

App not working under ios 10.2

### 1/5 — Broken; Unusable

*2015-12-14*

On an iPhone 6 running iOS 8, and I cannot switch to the add computer menu. The app crashed on first launch, and any attempt after that simply displays   <hostname, please configure> down the entirety of the screen.

### 1/5 — Crashes, won't load!

*2015-08-11, version 2.0.0*

Won't load or give access to set up.

### 5/5 — Great App! Want development to continue.

*2020-05-04, version 3.0.0*

A few features seem to be unstable or to not work properly but otherwise this has been life-changing to me.

I had no problem using either IP addresses or DNS (some machines are elsewhere and I use DDNS and port mapping to get to them.

I wish the circles would scale to more slots as I have a lot of systems folding. Or at least let me pick which GPUs get circles, and let me label the circles.

Also, some columns I don’t use can’t be deleted from the spreadsheet.

I would make a small contribution (perhaps via Patreon?) to get further development.

### 5/5 — Delivers as advertised

*2020-03-31, version 3.0.0*

It workers.

### 5/5 — Works well!

*2020-03-26*

Works well on iPad Pro and iPhone 8+. Simple setup, would like to have a first open setup prompt, but working well. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Works as expected

*2020-03-24*

As long as you type in the IP and not just the local host like I did the first try it works flawlessly. Thank you for making this

### 5/5 — Very well done

*2016-10-27, version 2.0.0*

It does what it says:  serves as a monitor for your clients.  Be sure to follow the setup instructions at fahmm.net, and restart your desktop client.

### 5/5 — Pretty good!

*2016-01-31, version 2.0.0*

Seems to work fine. For those who can't configure, tap and hold the button.

### 5/5 — Finally

*2014-12-01*

Been waiting for ages, can finally monitor my f@h points

### 5/5 — Thank you for this.

*2014-01-07, version 1.0.1*

It's a good deed and I thank you for helping us monitor it's progress and hopefully spread the word.

### 4/5 — It does work using IP addresses

*2020-04-07, version 3.0.0*

I also first used hostnames for my hosts, but got nothing. Had to use IP addresses even though my router assigns them via DHCP and therefore they will change sometime in the future, and I'll have to update them again in the app. And it does crash at times upon launch or while scrolling around. You also first need to get every host ready to be remotely controlled, but that's not a requirement specific to this app but a requirement of F@H architecture. Pro tip: Go to FoldingForumDotOrg and search for "FAHMM on iOS" to find the thread where this is all discussed. Once you get it working, it's awesome in-between crashes. I use this on my iPhone in addition to HFM on a WindowsPC host to manage all my hosts.

### 4/5 — Works great, no in app documentation

*2017-02-10, version 2.0.0*

It works great, but you have to go to fahmm.net to get instructions. Also requires some basic networking knowledge (you need to forward a port and be able to find out what your public ip is. Features are awesome, allows for individual start/stop/pause of individual slots, and has an estimated finish time (absolute time, but it also has relative time). It also has most of the other features that the normal client has. Would recommend to anyone that's willing to go through a bit of setup.
