Good idea, needs work

Genuinely for the life of me keep getting 429 errors when setting up any vpn, the gui is buggy, and overall it’s a bit confusing what settings do what functions.

Nice

Handy app if you don’t want to log into your router every time as you can access most things.
Dark mode is a big plus.

Can’t sign back in

App is not bad but if you get signed out then signing back in, the app behaves as if you’re setting up the system for the first time.

I see no way to just log back on…

Needs Improvement

Shi77y app needs to be better adding environments vs first time step up

Multiple Routers

Fantastic app, I run multiple routers and can control them all from my iPhone, for the most part. Using the GL.one Flint 3 as my primary for the house, a Slate 7 paired with a Starlink Mini for my mobile setup and a Slate 7 as my hotel travel router. They all support Tailscale, Good Cloud and OpenWRT and most functions are accessible via the iOS App. The rest just toss in the iPV4 address from Tailscale in your safari browser and boom, your in. Great app I rate it 5 Stars. They have done some serious updating this year compared to some of these older reviews.
