### 1/5 — Netgear should be embarrassed about how bad this application is

*2026-05-30, version 10.0.0*

This app is an embarrassment to network engineering. It does not work at all. It can’t even find devices made by Netgear. If it finds the devices, it will list them, however it can’t communicate with them.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-05-26, version 10.0.0*

I’ve had the app for quite a few years and been through quite a few changes and it’s never been great but now I can’t even update firmware - down to poor design and inadequate testing. I regret investing in netgear products.

### 1/5 — Downgrade

*2026-05-23, version 10.0.0*

Stay away from Netgear managed services. The last so called update has completely broken the managed services. No MESH management and the Health section is unusable. They still charge for this poor service which has clearly been deployed without any testing. I have canceled my subscription and switching to UniFi.

### 4/5 — List client Not showing

*2026-05-11, version 10.0.0*

CONNECTED DEVICES NOT SHOWING IN LIST AFTER UPDATE

### 3/5 — No client with this update

*2026-05-01, version 10.0.0*

With this update, clients cannot be seen on the network

### 1/5 — New update to version 10 has broken this app

*2026-04-28, version 10.0.0*

I’ve been using this app for about 5 years to monitor my insight devices. It’s always been lacking certain functionality only available in the browser version, but since the complete overhaul (look and feel change) to version ‘10’ many features just aren’t working, and nothing seems to have improved or been added. Not sure what this update was supposed to achieve, but Netgear should be ashamed to release an application in this state. If you want a beta tester just let me know, you certainly need one.

### 1/5 — V10 no clients

*2026-04-27, version 10.0.0*

Since I got the v10.0.0 update I can no longer see any clients in the app. This essentially makes the app useless since I cannot confirm what clients are connected to which network/vlan. 
I hope this issue is fixed asap, I have tried deleting and reinstalling the app but no luck.

### 1/5 — 10.0.0 update not showing MESH network

*2026-04-18, version 10.0.0*

MESH is there and shows up on web page portal but DOES NOT show up on iPhone app 10.0.0 update. It did show up in app before update.

### 1/5 — Amazingly Bad

*2025-12-11, version 7.7.5*

This application is amazingly bad, like waiting at the DMV bad. Trying to configure a couple of simple access points, is like pulling teeth with gov level bureaucracy.

### 1/5 — Error every start need to log out

*2025-10-27, version 7.7.5*

Recently every time you use the all it gives “an error has occurred” and you can only log out, log back in but shortly later you need to repeat the process. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling no luck. Current version (7.7)  is broken.
