### 1/5 — Bandwidth stats are confusing and links not working

*2025-02-15*

Seems like the way you interpret the bw usage on a port on a switch depends on a few things. Super confusing how the uplink internet port shows download/upload in reverse. Also link navigation doesn’t seem to work well and you need to keep pushing links. Especially on startup with site selection. Wow back out and try again please!!!!

Seriously this app is unusable. It’s slow and you have to tap multiple times and the bandwidth usage is backwards!

### 2/5 — For the dev team!

*2024-12-01*

It is very confusing! Looking at the app store it say version 3.2 but the latest realsed version is 3.1. Does not make any sense. Also notification in the app say 3.2!!! Fix this embarrassing error!

### 1/5 — Worked great till version 3.x

*2024-08-06*

This app worked amazingly well for the last few years right up until they updated to version 3.x. 

White screens where the app hangs, non-responsive to touch, and tons of lag that didn’t exist on previous versions. 

Devs need to fix ASAP. if you were going to update an application, at least keep it working as well as it was before you touched it. At this point it is borderline unusable. 

Even the web portal runs like trash… It’s not just the iOS app.

### 1/5 — Don’t use this app use web version instead

*2024-08-01*

This app is good for 2 things. Telling you a site is down and setting up a quick wifi. If you need to manage any devices or look into any issues then I suggest using the Aruba website from a PC. This app is missing all the QOL improvements that is needed to do any kind of actual real world troubleshooting. In the website I have the ability to add fields so I can view all device names, mac, ip, os, connection speed and Wi-Fi name all from ONE screen. In this app you have to look in an unnecessary amount of different locations just to view all that info for one device. If you have 50+ devices then good luck using the app. You also need to add a reboot all devices option so I don’t have to reboot 25 APs one at a time….

After they updated it a few days ago they made it even slower then it was before. Logging in, switching sites all slow.  I change the sorting to alphabetical, and every time I log back into the app, they change it back the some other setting.

### 1/5 — App Crash

*2024-07-25*

The App keeps crashing after last update.   It shows white screen.  Tried reinstalling but same problem.

### 1/5 — Incorrect S/N 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

*2024-02-22*

Seriously… what is the point?

### 3/5 — App is a good start but needs more features

*2023-11-07*

Hardware is working great, but app needs improvements and optimization. It’s sometimes slow to load, needs better sorting options for clients & devices, faster updating of data. Desperately needs dark mode.

### 1/5 — Don’t use this app use web version instead

*2023-08-11*

First of all stop deleting my review. You can’t take a little criticism and use it to make the app better???? This app is good for 2 things. Telling you a site is down and setting up a quick wifi. If you need to manage any devices or look into any issues then I suggest using the Aruba website from a PC. This app is  missing all the QOL improvements that is needed to do any kind of actual real world troubleshooting.

### 3/5 — Acceptable but underwhelming

*2023-06-18*

App works, but is underwhelming.

InstantOn APs repeatedly reboot anytime the network gateway is offline making local lan, via Wi-Fi, useless as the wireless is offline while the APs look for the cloud controller. Local management for APs isn’t available. 

When InstantOn equipment is offline, the cloud controller doesn’t show last known config beyond last known internal AP. 

Cloud controller has no change log for admin changes. Cloud controller takes away all port control options for any port another instant on device is plugged into. Unable to edit multiple ports at once on switches. Makes me wonder about the quality of their enterprise equipment if the prosumer line is as unimpressive as it is.
