### 5/5 — Please update the app

*2024-07-30*

Please update the app not work at ios 17

### 3/5 — Going away 😔

*2024-07-24*

This is a great utility to have ready when you need it, but won’t work with iOS 18 apparently as it hasn’t been updated for years.

### 3/5 — Pretty basic but works

*2021-01-20*

It’s very basic and does as advertised. It’d be really nice if it’d be able to record uptime graphs and response time.

### 3/5 — iOS 14

*2020-09-17*

Lief super bis iOS 14. Nun wird der Zugriff auf lokale Netze gefordert, aber es kommt keine Anfrage über das Widget. 
5 Sterne wenn behoben.

### 1/5 — Only web sites? No other ports?

*2020-05-22*

It’s a little disappointing that this app firmly accepts only http urls and not up addresses or domains with custom ports

In the app the use of http is absolutely needed otherwise you can’t even add a new monitor 

What if I wanted to monitor a mail server?

### 5/5 — Great Way to Check on Server Status

*2020-05-09*

I love using this app to check on server status, but this app hasn’t received an update in 3 years. Would be great if you could at least make the widget support dark mode! Haven’t been able to find any other app that does the same as this.

### 2/5 — Great idea but could be worth paying for

*2019-10-15*

This would be a 5-star review and I would gladly pay a one-time fee if the following were possible:
1. The ability to set a custom check interval per entry.
2. The ability to set a specific page as entry, rather than just the root domain.

### 1/5 — Interessante ma..

*2018-06-26, version 1.4.1*

Non funziona.

### 3/5 — Nice but…

*2016-02-17*

Needs Apple Watch app would make me change this into a 5

### 5/5 — 如果可以实现ping 服务器状态就更完美了

*2015-12-25*

如果可以实现ping 服务器状态就更完美了

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4.1 — 2016-10-11

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.

Fixes multiple crashes:

 * Crash when user tries to set up a server entry with an invalid address
 * Crash when removing server if that is the single server in the list
 * Crash on extension while updating if server had an invalid address
 * Crash on widget if user is using iOS 9

Other changes:

 * Now ports don't need a name (label). Setting a port number is enough.

Thanks for all users that enabled sharing of anonymous crash reports. Those allowed me to check corner cases I failed to check by myself. New features are being worked on, including notifications on downtime, so stay tuned!

### 1.4 — 2016-09-26

Updates widget UI on iOS 10.
New App icon to reflect new widget UI.

### 1.3 — 2015-06-01

Added button to trigger widget update. It is disabled by default, and you can enable it from the About menu in the app.

Now the widget displays the exact time of the last update, instead of a relative time that actually meant nothing.

### 1.2.2 — 2015-04-13

Fixed bug that would cause the widget to disappear after a while.

### 1.2.1 — 2015-02-10

Fixed "last update" label only being updated under some circumstances.
Minor improvements and stability fixes.
