### 1/5 — Spyware

*2023-05-02, version 23.1.0*

This app is now run by hackers performing credential phishing.

### 1/5 — App sliders will not work

*2022-02-08, version 21.4.0*

My app sliders suddenly quit working.  Now I have devices that I can not get internet access on.  My son is very unhappy about is video game console being “stuck” w/o internet access.  I went through GVTC and they tried everything on there end with no resolution.  It seems to be an app to router issue.  This app needs immediate attention!  If anyone else has had this issue what resolved it?

### 1/5 — Spyware

*2021-12-05, version 21.3.1*

If you want to annoy your children, use this to pester them.

### 1/5 — Cannot create account

*2021-07-12, version 21.2.1*

The darn app won’t even allow me to create and account.

### 1/5 — Worst app ever!!

*2021-06-27, version 21.2.1*

App damages your  network connection, you can’t see your devices, and also if you try to set a parent control, it will block your devices forever.  Total headache!!

### 1/5 — Can’t use the app

*2021-04-23, version 20.2.1*

Keeps closing on me!!! 😡

### 1/5 — Quite possibly the worst app ever

*2021-04-17, version 20.2.1*

The app crashes and is useless. Additionally the hardware creates its own set of priority devices and creates network issues.

### 1/5 — App continually crashes

*2021-03-31, version 20.2.1*

This needs to be addressed by GVTC immediately if they are going to continue to toot the horn on the things this can do. I need access to parental controls and this is not working properly.

### 1/5 — Missing devices

*2020-06-04, version 20.2.0*

Less than 1/4 my devices are reflected in the app. I have 17-18 devices and only 4 are shown. ☹️

### 1/5 — So many problems

*2026-06-05, version 26.1.1*

This app has so many problems: it won’t show all the devices that are connected, control over the WiFi is no longer working, and I am unable to remove any of the devices that are connected. It seriously needs a better update and it needs to be continuously monitored. If I could give it zero stars I would.

### 1/5 — Does not tell you what is on your WiFi network

*2026-03-12, version 25.4.2*

TV’s, cameras, other devices appear and disappear on the app when viewing my WiFi network. Devices are clearly working, but not visible on the app. Have no idea what else might be connecting to my network

### 1/5 — Go back

*2025-11-06, version 25.3.2*

This new update is terrible. It’s so slow, crashes and some functions don’t work right.

### 1/5 — Missing in action

*2025-08-25, version 25.2.0*

Never shows all devices attached. The connection type is also never correct wired/wireless.
Needs a serious update or rewrite.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2025-08-23, version 25.2.0*

The App says it does and doesn’t recognize our email address; so I can’t login or create an account.

### 1/5 — Just doesn’t work

*2025-07-30, version 25.2.0*

Devices that are connected will randomly disappear from the devices list, and that’s only IF the app will even open. 90% of the time I get the “app unable to connect,” error and I can’t see anything.

### 1/5 — Pointless

*2025-04-12, version 25.1.1*

The app is supposed to help monitor and control which devices have WiFi. Devices will randomly disappear from the list of devices, or the entire list itself will be gone. If you’re lucky, you can actually control which devices have WiFi. 10% of the time, you can’t.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work and GVTC connection poor

*2025-04-08, version 25.1.1*

Down multiple times randomly every week and sometimes for multiple days… call GVTC and go through basics steps that a child could perform that I already had done; to be told everything looks fine… then why is internet down.:.. so frustrating

### 1/5 — Push notification ads

*2024-10-23, version 24.3.0*

You receive push notifications for important security alerts… you also receive them for ads for other GVTC products. Terrible.

### 1/5 — Absolutely worst app ever

*2023-05-05, version 23.1.0*

App repeatedly says it is unable to connect on every screen but then says the account has been setup after you keep trying. Fix your app!!!

### 5/5 — GVTC Internet change

*2024-07-18, version 24.2.1*

Switched to GVTC due to buffering and outage with Spectrum.
Extremely satisfied with all GVTC services to date.
Glad we made the change. 
We have had no disruption of service since we got set up.
GVTC is fiber optic VS Spectrum coax cable.
I don’t need to say anymore.

### 5/5 — Awesome service and very nice staff!

*2023-07-13, version 23.2.1*

I mean it’s top notch!  New to CL and the price is great as well.  Very satisfied.  Happy Jan Jan

### 5/5 — Have control

*2023-04-07, version 23.1.0*

I like that I can be able to have control over what is connected and how many hours

### 5/5 — App Crashes

*2021-07-10, version 21.2.1*

This app needs serious updating. It crashes all the time. I turned some devices off…now I can’t turn them back on. The app simply will not work. Have reinstalled, tried on different devices with no luck at all. Please FIX this app!!!!

### 4/5 — Sometimes the signal is slow!

*2023-01-31, version 22.4.1*

Excellent WiFi System, but sometimes the signal is slow.

### 4/5 — Disappointing

*2021-12-13, version 21.4.0*

[December 13th, 2021 - Updated] nice improvements of the app over the last few months. Good to see the usage per device and ability to “pause/stop”. So bumping from 1 star to 4: waiting a few more months to see if app continue to be stable. @GVTCEngineering team: continue the work, great improvements. One thing which will be a nice addition will be a view of any outages / history. Even if internet at home is busted, iPhone will continue to work on cellular plan and being able to see outages will be a plus. 

[original review] Just recently signed up for GVTC : technician that came was great but the app to manage wifi is just bad! If you try to see any of the device connected to your network, good luck since the app just crash EVERYTHING single time. GVTC fix that ASAP : looks like it is a well know problem but you guys don’t bother fixing it.

### 3/5 — Things Section Crashes App

*2022-08-15, version 22.3.0*

If you try to sort the things section in any other way it immediately crashes the app. Also, the things list is limited and truncates the list of devices at 18. Please update the app to not truncate the device count and fix the sorting option.

### 2/5 — Yikes

*2026-06-09, version 26.1.1*

This app is a mess. I’ve been a longtime customer of GVTC and for the amount of money we pay for all of the services on our property, it would be nice to have a functioning app to rely on to turn on/off WiFi access to members of the family. It crashes all the time and is super glitchy. I will turn off wifi access to a device and never be able to turn access back on again unless I remove and rename every device again. It’s a mess. Right now it’s just spiraling saying my entire network is down, when clearly it is on and functioning.

### 2/5 — App crashes

*2021-03-24, version 20.2.1*

Last update was 8 months ago. There have been some significant updates with Apple and the app keeps crashing after opening.  This needs immediate attention to all the full suite of options that GVTC touts.

### 2/5 — Nothing works

*2021-01-17, version 20.2.1*

None of my devices show up. When they did originally it lasted only a week and the part where you can disconnect devices didn’t work. Now nothing shows up. Pretty useless honestly.
