This App has been tested against the HughesNet HT1100, HT1000, and the HN9000 Gen4 Modems. To determine your modem, go to www.systemcontrolcenter.com. Setup: In the "Address" field of the setup screen, type in the IP address of your modem. In nearly every case it is either "www.systemcontrolcenter.com" or 192.168.0.1. The app connects to your modem and gets account information from that. No need to sign in or type in account numbers. NOTE: If you just recently installed your HughesNet satellite dish, it takes about a week for HughesNet to begin metering your data usage. During this week, the App will work and it correctly indicates that your data is getting reset -- Enjoy the extra data! If you have any questions please read the FAQ on the support link or contact me directly. ## Key features - Real-time data usage monitoring - View AnyTime and Bonus data - Purchase data restore tokens - Color-coded data rate bar chart - Today Screen plugin available - Connects directly to modem ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: $6.99. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | HughesNet Today Screen | $1.99 | one-time | ## Recent user reviews (10 of 51) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/hughesnet-meter/id693036299/reviews.md ### 2/5 — Unauthorized Payments? *2026-03-22* Why am I being charged $7??? I never signed up for that? That being said how do I cancel the stupid thing 🤷🏻 ### 3/5 — If it only worked all the time *2019-09-18* This app as compared to the standard Hughes app is much better as the standard one doesn’t even work at this time. However, that said, there are times when this app totally stalls and doesn’t show accurate data usage. There was a time when there was no connectivity whatsoever with my iPhone and the app and the actual modem itself. I finally had to delete the application and reinstall it several times before it finally recognized the system and provided me a new up-to-date accurate account of what data was left. During the same time I was unable to purchase tokens and see used etc. Overall it is a good app however things like the widgets and other things shown on the app would be nice if they were actually functional. ### 1/5 — John Harley Lindley *2019-04-30, version 2.6* Terrible app. Does nothing. Junk. Trash app. ### 4/5 — Works well but.. *2019-01-01* The status meter works well on my iPad mini and iPod, but...do not use VPN—it will screw up the status meter accuracy and time frame posted. ### 1/5 — Worthless purchase *2018-08-23, version 2.6* Does not work with HughesNet Gen 5 so I wasted my money. ### 1/5 — Con fused *2018-05-27, version 2.6* I really don’t understand them where do they end and begin ### 5/5 — Great app *2018-01-11* Very nice app to keep track of usage etc. Wish Hughesnet would update the one for computers, No longer works on windows. ### 1/5 — Piece of crap *2017-10-01, version 2.6* It doesn't work any more. I wasted 5.99 on this crapware. ### 5/5 — HRoberts *2017-05-30* I really like the meter. It's nice to keep track of my data. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2017-03-19, version 2.6* I'm not impressed with this app and I'm even less impressed with HughesNet service! I will no longer use this service as soon as I get rid of my contract!!! ## Frequently asked questions about HughesNet Meter ### What does the HughesNet Meter app do?
