### 4/5 — Nice App But no billing?

*2020-07-04, version 2.9.9*

It’s nice app, but can’t find the invoice and billing history. That is one main reason to use this app!

### 5/5 — Firewall Controll?

*2020-02-22*

Where is the firewall control?

**Developer response:** Hi Katrina!

TLDR
Firewall management is already under development, but we can’t promise a release date yet.

Full answer:
As this app doesn’t generate a significant revenue, I cannot dedicate myself to it full time. Thus, I have to focus on features that are more frequently requested (coming next are lockscreen and droplet presets). Also, the firewall part of the API is more complicated than the rest of it and so I have to be very careful so the app won’t break your firewalls (cause, of course, we don’t want that to happen). 
That said, firewall management is already under development, but I can’t tell exactly when it’s gonna be available.

Sorry for the inconvenience, I hope you understand.
Btw, let me know if you have any other feature requests!

### 5/5 — Functional and efficient

*2019-12-27*

I’m still new to virtual machines and servers, and the app makes it simple to spin up a new droplet with the features I want and manage it when I’m not home.

It does everything I could want and need, and doesn’t burden me down with nested or obscure menus. Great Job developers, and great job DigitalOcean for hiring clever developers!

### 4/5 — All good aside from a small bug

*2019-12-22*

Great app fits perfectly for my use case of occasionally needing to check in on my servers when I’m out and about. 

Only issue is a small bug where I’m unable to select a region when setting up a new droplet.

**Developer response:** Hi Alex, thanks a lot for your review! 
This issue was fixed on the last release, 4 days after your review :)

Thanks for using the app!

### 5/5 — Clean UI and easy to use

*2019-10-13*

Definitely the best of all the DigitalOcean clients on the App Store. Would love to see support for more features in the future.

**Developer response:** Thank you! I’m glad you like it :)
What new features would you like to see?

### 5/5 — A Perfect Third Party App

*2019-07-07*

Finding a third party app of this quality is rare. The advanced functionality and beautiful UI blend together very well. It’s super convenient just to open the mobile app and manage my droplets. Wonderful work, Henrique!

**Developer response:** What a well written review! Thank you very much, this makes me very happy :) 
Let me know if there’s any other feature you want me to implement. 
Thanks once again

### 5/5 — Great app to manage digital ocean

*2019-07-02*

For me this app it’s great for managing your droplets in DigitalOcean. I found all the features that I use. I just don’t found the firewall and load balancers feature please add it as soon as you can. Everything else it’s fine. Thanks

**Developer response:** Thank you very much! Your review helps me a lot 😁
Firewall management will be available in the next version! Thanks for requesting!

### 4/5 — It works!

*2019-06-30*

I’ve been able to do a lot with this app. Now I can take snapshots, get rid of others, and creat droplets while having coffee. This is awesome.

**Developer response:** Awesome! More time for coffee!! Hahah
What can we do to get a 5-star? Let us know!

### 5/5 — Great app, ever better dev

*2019-06-30*

When I first bought this app, it had a bug causing it to crash when using a certain function. I emailed the dev to file a bug report, and within TWENTY MINUTES I had a response explaining that he was aware of the bug and that a fix was coming within a few days. Sure enough, the fix arrived quickly, and the app has been flawless ever since. As a plus, it also authenticates through the API, so you don’t have to worry about the app grabbing your credentials or anything worrisome. Awesome app, highly recommend it.

**Developer response:** Yeah! Thanks for recommending!! 
Indeed, we reply really fast and get rid of bugs even faster! 😆
Thanks for the 5 star, let me know if you have any feature request!

### 5/5 — great development quality

*2019-04-08, version 2.9.5*

top notch work and attention to detail. if you use DO and support 50+ vms and haven't bought this app I assume you must support ISIS

### 1/5 — Does Not Work

*2025-06-13*

App freezes at authentication and support leads to a dead domain.

### 1/5 — please refund me

*2021-10-18, version 2.9.9*

there is no documentation on how to use this whatsoever. it might be straightforward to you but it isn't to be

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work and the developer’s email is offline

*2021-10-03*

This app won’t list any of my droplets, it tells me that feature is not available. Also, the developer’s email bounces back and the website is offline, so it seems to me this app is not updated and not currently supported.

### 1/5 — Paid $3.99, did not work at all

*2020-07-25*

I logged in to my DO account, brought up the Droplet View, watched it spin for a while without showing any results.

Tried again a few hours later and got a pop up message that I could not view the data.

**Developer response:** Hi,
Sorry this happened to you. It’s really odd since we’ve been receiving only 4-5 stars reviews for the last 12 months.

This is probably an edge case, and of course, must be fixed.
In order to fix it, we’ll need to replicate the issue by launching a droplet with the exact same configuration of yours.
Can you please provide such information? Like droplet size, wether it’s a 1-click app, which OS it’s running, wether it’s from a snapshot and if so, what OS is the snapshot running, which features are enabled and so on. 
You can reach us at feedback@henriquemazer.com, and we’ll be glad to help.

If you prefer, you can also contact the AppStore support for a full refund (sorry, we don’t have access to refund it ourselves). 

Thanks for reporting this issue and for downloading the app.
Once again, sorry for the inconvenience.

### 2/5 — Limited Features

*2020-09-10, version 2.9.9*

No support for S3 spaces or kubernetes clusters.

### 2/5 — Was working fine now it’s not

*2019-05-08, version 2.9.5*

It was working fine and now it’s not - can’t seem to refresh it either or clear my authentication as the app crashes.

### 3/5 — i guess

*2023-07-09*

it works.  it’s ugly though and some menus like the “application” droplet menu don’t work at all… browsers might be better

### 3/5 — Can’t select region

*2019-12-10*

When creating new droplet I can’t seem to select region as there’s no region displayed. Not sure how many stars to give so I’ll put a 3 for now.

**Developer response:** Thanks for reporting!
This issue was fixed on version 2.9.9!

### 4/5 — Good app, could have improvements.

*2020-10-04*

I’ve used this app to monitor my VMs while out and about. It’s pretty good- looks nice, and has all the bells and whistles. They even have a DNS editor!

The only thing it needs is the ability to view monitoring graphs for CPU and memory. Otherwise, an excellent app.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review! I’m glad it’s useful.

Unfortunately, monitoring data is still not available through DigitalOcean’s API :/

### 4/5 — Need graphs

*2020-07-19*

The only thing I see missing is the performance graphs in the DO portal.

**Developer response:** Hi,
Thank you very much for your review!

That feature would be great, indeed!
Unfortunately, the digital ocean API doesn’t allow access to the data necessary to display the graphs yet, so there isn’t a proper way to implement this feature.
Once they allow access to this data, this feature will be implemented!

Thank you using and reviewing the app!

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2026-02-08*

Issue resolved with power cycle

### 5/5 — Love love love

*2025-08-11*

I love this app thanks so much

### 5/5 — Great apps

*2023-06-30, version 2.9.9*

It could be nice if we can have cpu,memory, bandwidth etc.. Usage in real time monitoring in your app

Cheers

### 5/5 — Great but has to be greater while futures updates

*2022-09-22, version 2.9.9*

This app is great, but I wished some more extra features, such as more interaction from user-side, until DigitalOcean Server. I hope it could do all what the website offers, but in general, this app fits nearly all of my expectations and I give it 5 stars gladly :)

Also, giving Users informations about confidentiality while installing and using this apps would be greatly appreciated. The new generation of spying pass by data collection, by various methods, such as data sharing user data through apps, as shown in the book called “big data surveillance and security intelligence; the Canada case”. The authorities are using all the collections of data, from different sources to create datasets about anyone, so we have to be more careful globally, if we want to keep what’s left of our privacy.

### 5/5 — Does exactly what I need

*2021-05-13*

Simple, straightforward, works very well.

### 5/5 — It does the job as expected

*2021-04-19*

This is literally  a jewel for us sysadmins to be able to manage our servers right from our pockets. 
So simple, fast and reliable.
You should get this app if you are a DigitalOcean lover/constant user.

### 5/5 — Full capability at your fingertips

*2020-07-11*

It’s amazing the amount of technology afforded at your fingertips with this application. I would highly recommend it to anyone who needs immediate access and control over their virtual systems.

**Developer response:** Wow! Thank you very much for your review, sir! I’m glad you find it useful. 

Thanks a lot!

### 5/5 — Greate simple app to manage digitalOcean

*2020-05-08*

I have love this app since it first came out and since then, it only gotten better. I love how easy and straightforward the UI is that almost beats the digitalOcean web ui. I hope you keep working on this app and keep up the good work. You making my life easier every day with this 😁

While I’m at it, the only two feature I feel is missing from this app is “storage” management (digitalOcean S3 network volume) and support to at least see the new kubernate cluster info. Right now they show up just like regular droplets but it would be really useful if we could see the pods/services/deployments status with memory/disk usuage. Then I don’t have to get off my bed to get on a pc to check it out 😄

**Developer response:** Wow, almost beats the web UI? Hahah that’s awesome! Thank you very much for your review, I’ll check their apis to study if it’s possible for me to  implement those features!
I’m very glad to know I’m making your life easier, thanks once again!!

### 5/5 — It works. What else u want

*2020-03-05, version 2.9.9*

does what it says on the tin and works fine

### 5/5 — Serious Potential

*2020-03-02, version 2.9.9*

It does what it does great but I wish you could do a few extra things mainly resizing droplets. Just having the ability to restart and get my IPs without logging into a browser is worth the money for me.
