### 2/5 — SSH to VMs no longer works

*2026-06-06, version 26.05.270800*

SSH stopped working which was the best feature of the app

### 2/5 — Error reporting got worse

*2026-05-21, version 26.05.060801*

When i get a push notification from error reporting it opens a blank page instead of showing me the message.

### 4/5 — Ultimate app

*2026-02-08*

This app offers premium services and features that allow users to access their favorite content

### 1/5 — Everything is wrong!

*2025-12-02, version 1.28.613*

I can’t see my bills or i cant check firebase. App doesn’t work properly!

### 1/5 — Wer braucht so etwas?

*2025-11-14, version 1.28.613*

Was soll diese App überhaupt? Wer braucht so etwas? Die Benutzeroberfläche ist verwirrend und unübersichtlich. Man versteht nicht, wofür die ganzen Funktionen gut sein sollen.
Für wen ist das gedacht? Definitiv nicht für normale Nutzer. Alles viel zu kompliziert und unverständlich dargestellt.
Die App wirft mehr Fragen auf, als sie beantwortet. Wozu dient das Ganze? Welchen Mehrwert soll das bringen?
Absolute Zeitverschwendung. Kann ich nicht empfehlen.

### 1/5 — Avoid this service.

*2025-11-09, version 1.28.613*

This service is incredibly convoluted, outrageously expensive, and poorly transparent. Along with busy UI which makes it difficult to see what is happening, a lot of services have an insane cost attached. Before you know it, you will accrue a massive bill. This bill may surprise you as the default setting is to simply not notify you of charges. I had to go looking for it. While respectful, Customer Support is also long and painful as they talk in circles and take days to respond. Take care with the free trial too, as a simple setting change will end it and they will start charging. 

Based on my firsthand experience, my advice is to simply not use this app and service altogether.

### 1/5 — No visibility!

*2025-10-19, version 1.28.613*

I am not able to see the services I am running on your GCP cloud run from your apple application. However, I can see them and edit them from the pc browser without problems.

### 2/5 — Too many missing pieces

*2025-10-16, version 1.28.613*

Missing Cloud Run, observability metrics and more

### 2/5 — できることが少ない

*2025-10-06, version 1.28.613*

インスタンスへのIAP経由ssh接続ができない、Cloud Editorが存在しないなど、正直ブラウザからアクセスした方がマシなんだが、「モバイルブラウザは非対応」と言われる。どないせいと。
あと複数のGoogleアカウントでログインしてると表面上アカウントを選択できてるように見えて裏で異なるアカウントでアクセスしようとしてるように見える。これはもしかするとiPadOSそのものが悪いかもしれないが

### 4/5 — Keys are not working in app

*2025-09-26, version 1.28.613*

Keys are not working on sah session when i touch twice then it work. Might be its bug kindly fix this.

### 1/5 — Why even have the app?

*2025-09-17*

Might as well should just shut it down. The app basically showing you nothing, no cloud run, bigquery usage etc. should just shut it down

**Developer response:** We understand your frustration. While the app currently focuses on core infrastructure (Compute Engine, App Engine, Storage) and Billing/Alerts, we know that modern stacks rely heavily on Cloud Run and BigQuery.

We are actively working on expanding support for newer services. In the meantime, you can track BigQuery costs via the Billing tab and view specific usage metrics for both services by setting up Custom Dashboards in the web console, which are viewable in the app.

We hope you’ll keep the app installed for the billing alerts while we work on the features you requested.

### 1/5 — 劣化する一方

*2025-08-27, version 1.28.588*

GCE上のサーバーを操作するために使用しているが、一瞬でも画面上のアプリを切り替えるとサーバーとの接続が強制切断されるようになってしまった。つまり、メモ帳アプリなどから長いパッケージ名などをコピーしようとしてアプリを切り替えるとログインからやり直し。これではブラウザから操作した方がマシ。存在価値がない。

### 1/5 — Violated ToS

*2025-08-24, version 1.28.588*

disappointed to learn the perverse incentives given to their support staff so that they don’t take accountability to mistakes they make

### 1/5 — A l'abandon

*2025-08-18, version 1.28.588*

On sent que personne ne se préoccupe de cette app

### 3/5 — It’s ok

*2025-08-18*

Seems a bit buggy. Initially it couldn’t find my dashboards or saved queries. Now it can find the dashboards, but only one saved query (I know there are more). Overall it has value as long as the dashboards continue to work. Strange that you can’t go to cloud run functions in the resources tab. I would mostly do that in order to see more metrics and logs for specific cloud run functions.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you're having trouble viewing your custom dashboards and saved logging queries in the app.
The app is designed to sync with the custom dashboards you've set up in the web console, so we definitely want to understand why they aren't showing up for you.

### 1/5 — Cloud Shell issues

*2025-08-07*

Cloud Shell is the most useful feature, but it disconnects as soon as you switch to a different app (you know, to copy commands) and often fails to authenticate gcloud.

### 1/5 — Can’t see saved logs or dashboards from web

*2025-07-31*

If I can’t see the dashboard that I have set up on web, it’s almost useless to me. It doesn’t even seem to know about saved logging queries from web. Surprisingly bad.

### 1/5 — No sirve para nada

*2026-06-22, version 26.06.091200*

Una app totalmente inútil. No sirve para nada. Un engaño hecho para facturar. Quiero darla de baja

### 1/5 — It doesn’t work

*2026-06-15*

You’re better off trying it with a browser

### 1/5 — Works terribly - plenty of bugs

*2026-05-22*

Useless- disappointed by Google on this one

### 1/5 — Constant connection loss

*2026-05-01*

Súper annoying app! Connections get lost every single time! U hop from one app to the next for half a second and the app forces us to start from scratch hella inconvenient

### 1/5 — No widget for cloud run data or cost management as advertised

*2026-05-01, version 26.04.150800*

I can’t see any of my metrics like CPU memory utilisation, cost or even my project details. Not sure why this app is for? Not even sure if it a bug or this app is limited

### 1/5 — Log viewer needs work

*2026-04-13, version 26.04.090801*

The display of logs is a simple json dump, nothing like the log viewer in the web based console. This makes it hard to use this for monitoring, you always have to use the web version to trouble shoot issues.

### 1/5 — 何もできない

*2026-04-02, version 26.03.250800*

SSH接続がことごとくエラーになり、あらゆる作業ができない。状態が分かっても何もできないというアプリ。
UIは非常に洗練されているので、アプリが完成したら是非使いたい。

### 1/5 — Almost no functionality

*2026-03-20, version 26.03.042000*

Why is this app recommended for mobile. It has almost no functionality even for monitoring. Only handful of resource types

### 1/5 — Shell will NEVER connect

*2026-01-15, version 25.11.261600*

The shell is stuck on the preparing to connect screen.

### 1/5 — Google a yakışmıyor

*2025-12-16, version 25.11.261600*

Belli ki hiç ilgilenilmemiş. Shell bağlantısı mobil için çok zor

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2026-01-20, version 26.01.070800*

Google Cloud is an excellent platform with powerful tools and reliable performance. It offers great scalability, strong security, and seamless integration with modern development workflows. The services are well-documented, easy to manage, and highly suitable for both small projects and large-scale applications. As a developer, I really appreciate the flexibility, performance, and continuous improvements. Overall, a top-tier cloud solution that I highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Für App Devs

*2025-08-31, version 1.28.613*

Nachdem mein Code unnötig Kosten verursacht hat, habe ich mir diese kleine App geladen. Jetzt habe ich sofort alle Apps, Datenbanken, Code Buckets und Cloud Functions parat.

Und, vor allem, den exakten Kostenstand der Endpoints.
Gutes DevTool für GCloud.

### 5/5 — I’m just trying my best right
