Functional, slow and an Old GUI

The app functions and eventually gives you the information you need/want. But it’s so slow, mainly due to bad architecture! Most main functions are “Blocking”. I guess when they initially wrote and released it, multi threaded wasn’t supported in the OS? 😁 (just teasing)
The user interface is old and enforces the bad design. You ask for Network Map, and until that specific function finishes, the whole app blocks (temporarily freezes) and you can’t do anything else. Frustrating 🤷🏽‍♂️

Dumb Luck

Things were not going to smooth on the setup,. It felt like dumb lucky fell into play and got log-in process

Can’t Log In

Can no longer log into the app after the last update. Forces the username to be admin, doesn’t recognize Face ID, no way to change the credentials. Useless.

Set up

Not easy at all!
