### 4/5 — How much do they

*2023-06-13*

The only way I could

### 4/5 — Great, but...

*2023-05-27*

Overall this app is the best I've found for quick mobile Kubernetes management.

Unfortunately I find the app nearly unusable for editing objects. If I try anything more than a completely trivial update, I get an error message toast with a nonsensical JSON error. Seems to be triggered by double tapping or starting a new line.

Would also like to see shortcuts for some simple common updates like changing the image version or something.

And finally, when I start up a new terminal or logs but the previous one is still open, it doesn't switch to the new one, which is confusing.

### 5/5 — Good, but…

### 5/5 — Muito bom!!!

*2022-08-17*

Consegui ver até os CRDs que estavam no cluster, muito completo mesmo!!!! Tem acesso ao terminal dos pods e tem um editor básico pra alterar os Yamls aplicados no cluster. Recomendo bastante!!!!

### 5/5 — Great app!!!

*2022-03-06*

when i first met this app, i wondered if this app would be low quality one.
but fortunately this app is very convenient!

this app can manage and check your cluster even in aws eks and gcp gke.

of course you can check all info such as pods and jobs and so on.

amazing!
i wish this app reach to every k8s user!

thank you!!!

### 1/5 — Kaputt gecoded

*2024-10-03*

Keine Ahnung was in den Entwickler gefahren ist. Jedenfalls ist ehemals verdammt gute die App seit einem der letzten Updates mit einem neuen Interface ausgestattet worden und seitdem ganz einfach unbenutzbar. Alte Cluster lassen sich nicht entfernen, neue nicht einrichten. Von vier Buttons in der Taskleiste funktioner zwei garnicht und die anderem beiden im Prinzip auch nicht ( es passiert was, aber nicts sinnvolles). Sollte noch irgendwas anders mit Funktion bestûckt sein, dann merkt man davon nix. Trotzdem danke für die ehemals guten Zeiten.

**Developer response:** Hi if you liked the old style of the app more you can try out the "classic mode" which can be activated in the settings of the app.

A cluster can be deleted via double tap on the cluster name in the settings -> clusters page.

If you have any issues or suggestions feel free to open a issue in the GitHub repository: https://github.com/kubenav/kubenav

### 1/5 — Ruined a perfect app with the latest update

*2023-01-27*

This app was close to being perfect, but with the new ui, it became unusable. Its too bad that i can no longer refund it, i would not have bought it in the first place with this ui.
I know the devs put effort in the new ui but the look is not everything, the user experience is. The experience got so much worse, i have to click 10x more than i had to do before. Really sad..

**Developer response:** I'm sorry that you do not like the update. Feel free to create an issue at https://github.com/kubenav/kubenav maybe we find a way to improve your current experience.

### 1/5 — Just ruined a very useful app to a complex puzzle

*2023-01-24*

It was a very useful app to monitor kubernetes cluster but with the last version, it is way far of being simple and easily accesible for swift actions…

**Developer response:** I'm sorry that you do not like the update. Feel free to create an issue at https://github.com/kubenav/kubenav maybe we find a way to improve your current experience.

### 1/5 — Could not include!

*2021-08-15, version 3.7.0*

I can’t select my kubeconfig file while importing.
(iPhone 11)

### 2/5 — New interface is awfull

*2023-02-08*

Previous interface was much better in term of ux. Now I must look for another application to manage my clusters

### 3/5 — Namespace nav is difficult and unintuitive

*2025-06-13*

I would give this 5 stars, except navigating namespaces is unintuitive and difficult. Why can’t one just select a current namespace to work in? Go to settings > Namespaces and the list is empty — what?!? Then go to a resource, tap the little settings icon in the top right, then there is a filter for namespaces that lists all namespaces, so the app knows about them. But having to do this per resource and figure out where to do it, and the fact the Namespaces in settings requires manual entry of all namespaces when the app clearly can access the list, is totally ridiculous. Seems a basic feature is missing.

**Developer response:** Hi and thanks for your feedback. You can change the Namespace in the list where it shows all your resources (e.g. Pods). The Namespaces list in the settings can be used to add your favourite Namespace and for users, which do not have the permissions to list all Namespaces in a cluster. The Namespaces, which are added there are always shown above the list of all Namespaces for faster access. Please reach out to me via GitHub if you have any further suggestions or questions.

### 3/5 — Got potential

*2023-06-07*

This app was once a very nice one. Now there was a big update and I feel like it is not as good as the old version was.
Please address the small issues people pointed out in the reviews.
The time of the iPhone is not readable due to being colored the same as the AppBar and you cannot delete clusters.
Also I feel like there should be a better way to organize the side bar. And check, that all the animations work as intended, please. They need work.

**Developer response:** Hi you can delete a cluster via a double tab on the cluster name settings -> clusters page. You can also check the settings -> help section to find the documentation for all available actions.

When you liked the old style of the app more you can try out the "classic mode" which can be activated in the settings. If you have any issues / suggestions please open an issue in the our GitHub repository: https://github.com/kubenav/kubenav

### 3/5 — Crash IOS 16.3

*2023-02-10, version 4.1.0*

After upgrade to IOS 16.3. I can't open this app

### 4/5 — Nice app, thx!

*2024-03-25*

To delete clusters — double tap it's name and then tap “delete”

### 4/5 — Delete old clusters

*2023-10-30*

Great and useful application!!! But I have one question. How can I remove or delete old clusters?

**Developer response:** Hi, a cluster can be deleted in the settings -> clusters (view all) section of the app. To delete the cluster you can long press on the cluster item or swipe the item to the left.

### 5/5 — Azure AD OIDC issues

*2025-05-05, version 5.3.0*

I used to manage my Kubernetes clusters with this app and with Keycloak OIDC provider works great!
Lately I’ve migrated my cluster to work with Azure AD and I cannot authenticate on this app anymore. 
After having completed the login on Azure, the code is null, I tried pasting refresh token copied from API call done from my PC and it works…
I hope they can fix it soon. 
Overall it’s a great app!

### 5/5 — More than enough for daily needs or when you on go

### 5/5 — Perfect App

*2023-02-19*

This is the perfect app to quickly manage your k8s on the go. The only missing feature is the ability to delete imported clusters. Update: double tapping in the cluster Name allows to edit it. Thx to open source 😀
