### 2/5 — Very clunky

*2025-12-10, version 1.15.1*

I have tried all of the self help questions but keep getting every language option except English 🤯

### 4/5 — Happy Fritz!

*2024-12-11, version 1.12.1*

Useful simple app

### 5/5 — Práctica e intuitiva

*2024-07-22*

Muy completa, práctica e intuitiva. Para los profanos, como yo, es de una gran utilidad para configurar adecuadamente mi red Wi-Fi.

### 5/5 — ⸂⸂⸜👊⸝⸃⸃

### 5/5 — FRITZ ist Spitze

*2024-07-01*

Sehr gute App!
Gut strukturiert, übersichtlich, sehr gut nachvollziehbar. Macht was sie soll…👍

### 5/5 — FRITZ!Boxen

*2024-04-20*

Habe mir immer beim Internet Anbieter für die Internet Router Miete für die zwei Jahre die neuste FRITZ!Box gemietet da die Box einen tolles System hat und alles zusammen arbeitet nicht nur mit AVM eine Option fände ich toll das wenn die Box merkt das zb länger als 5 Minuten kein Internet funktioniert das die Box dann einfach automatisch neustartet solange bis das Internet wieder geht dann müsste man das nicht andauernd selbst machen oder wenn sie sich sobald Internet Weck ist automatisch neu verbindet bis das Internet wieder da ist

**Developer response:** Hallo! Die FRITZ!Box stellt die Verbindung bei einem Internetausfall selbständig wieder her, sobald wieder ein Signal erkannt wird. Ein automatisierter Neustart ist nicht vorgesehen, eine Beseitigung der Ausfallursache ist sinnvoller. Wenn Sie Unterstützung benötigen, wenden Sie sich bitte an unseren Support: https://avm.de/service/support/

### 1/5 — No interpretation

*2024-04-13, version 1.11.1*

Offers lots of WiFi stats that mean nothing unless your WiFi engineer.

Did not suggest optimal location for repeater - just off it can be further away than currently placed. This is something different and not very useful as it is the location in relation to the rooms in your house that matters

### 1/5 — Not user friendly

*2024-02-24, version 1.11.0*

Not easy to use and the you tube videos are not good.

### 1/5 — GPS

*2024-02-10*

No se para que quiere la posición GPS.

**Developer response:** ¡Hola!
Desde agosto de 2018, Google exige autorización de localización a cada app que acceda a información sobre el entorno Wi-Fi. AVM no influye en las directrices técnicas de Google. FRITZ!App WLAN no transmite ningún dato de ubicación a Google ni a AVM.

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2023-12-07, version 1.11.0*

Waste of space. Does nothing

### 1/5 — Cannot access

*2026-08-05, version 1.15.3*

None.. it goes nowhere.

### 1/5 — Inconsistent language

*2025-12-31, version 1.15.1*

It seems to only want to put headlines in English, but text in German. However it does manage to put “pay” in English!

### 1/5 — No WiFi

*2025-10-15, version 1.15.0*

Went last night gone again you are worse than virgin!!!

### 1/5 — Poor

*2025-07-05, version 1.13.2*

Shows me the ipad I’m using it from, and the router the ipad is connected to. Not hugely useful.
Sadly the much lauded router (FritzBox! 7530 AX) is so awful at transmitting wifi out of one room that any app just shows how awful it is.

### 1/5 — It won’t connect

*2025-06-20, version 1.13.2*

Won’t Connect without a password

### 1/5 — No WiFi

*2025-02-23, version 1.12.3*

Went last night gone again you are worse than virgin!!!

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2024-10-03, version 1.11.5*

I’m finding the app on par with my new wifi very poor at the moment the speed is around what I had through the telephone line with my last provider I was expecting much better but still have the same dead spots around the house plus the phone now has no dialling tone you can ring out but no internal  calls. Was expecting much more from new provider with now switching to broadband

### 1/5 — Impossibile riconfigurare

*2024-06-07*

Ho bisogno di cambiare nome al mio Powerline 540e per evitare confusione fra quello che ho a casa, quello che ho innuna casa al mare e quello a casa di mia madre. Il fatto che tutti e tre si chiamino "Fritz!Powerline 540E" produce l’eggetto che ogni volta che cambio casa i miei device usino la password dell’ultimo device usato! Tuttavia mi è IMPOSSIBILE entrare nell’interfaccia utente: mi chiede una password ma non accetta nessuna delle due riportate sul retro: né quella, numerica (4 gruppi di 4 numeri) per accedere al wifi, né quella alfabetica (4 gruppi di 4 lettere maiuscole) che dovrebbe dare accesso al device. Mi dice sempre che la password è errata! Come diavolo si fa a entrare?!?

### 1/5 — Functions very limited

*2024-05-04*

Enabling mesh is a mystery!

### 5/5 — Übersichtlich, praktisch und ansprechend

*2025-05-18*

Die App ist übersichtlich, praktisch und ansprechend gestaltet.

### 5/5 — Fritz listened to my problem

*2025-01-21, version 1.12.2*

Originally downloaded this app for the repeater position, but the screen was missing on the iOS app. Contacted Fritz, and they have now got it working. Excellent customer support

### 5/5 — Alles wieder gut

*2024-11-21*

Meldung zeigt sich kurz danach alles bestens.

**Developer response:** Wir bedauern es sehr, dass mit der App WLAN erneut Probleme in Ihrem Setup auftreten und bitten Sie uns Details zukommen zu lassen, damit wir der Ursache nachgehen können. Bitte dafür die Support- &App-Daten via "Feedback geben" im App-Menü, zusammen mit der Zeichenfolge #appfid 6523394 uns zusenden. Besten Dank für Ihre Unterstützung🤝.

### 5/5 — Top! Ich habe englisch schon gefunden)))

*2024-10-18*

Alles ist wunderschön!

Was kann ich mir noch wünschen?

Nur eine kurze Frage: was kann eine Ursache sein - mein Laptop Lenovo T430i kann leider nicht das Wi-Fi-Netz finden. Ich habe alles ausprobiert: neue Windows 11 installiert, neue Drivers für das Netz installiert. Es funktioniert nur mit dem Kabel. :( Aber ich habe bemerkt, wenn ich zum Beispiel zu erst mit dem Kabel mein Laptop mit dem Router verbunden habe, dann kann ich nach dem Trennen des Kabels vom Router für kurze Zeit die Wi-Fi-Verbindung nutzen (für kurze Zeit - ein paar Stunden - kann mein Laptop die Wi-Fi sehen und auch mit dem Netz verbinden. Aber dann er ist wieder blind.) Das ist eine Enigma für mich.

**Developer response:** Hallo,
vielen Dank für Ihr erneutes Feedback.
Bzgl. des neuen Anliegens wenden Sie sich gerne an unseren technischen Support: https://avm.de/service/support/

### 5/5 — Non riesco a fare entrare l’ospite

*2024-09-06*

Salve, Non riesco a fare entrare l’ospite, come faccio a fare entrare l’ospite? Mi chiede di inserire nome utente e password, ma c’è solo la possibilità di selezionare Admin e password, copio e incollo la password (che è esatta) ma mi dice che nome utente e password non sono corretti… Come mai? Grazie

**Developer response:** Salve, nella FRITZ!App WLAN Non è possibile far entrare un ospite.
Per la misurazione viene utilizzata la connessione Wi-Fi attualmente in uso.
Se desidera misurare la Wi-Fi ospite, è necessario collegarsi ad essa. In caso di difficoltà, si prega di contattare il nostro servizio di assistenza tecnica: https://it.avm.de/assistenza/supporto-tecnico/
