### 1/5 — V6 Broke this

*2025-03-06*

Pihole’s newest version broke this app.

### 3/5 — Nice tool

*2025-02-11, version 1.5*

Works fine with the latest version of pihole. I am currently on 5.18.4

Had a spinning wheel first time I tried to connect, but found out that I had a typo in the host name. 

Maybe a good idea would be to throw an error after a timeout instead of trying indefinitely. 

As an info tool not too bad. Just the lack of management options lets it down a bit.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2024-11-03, version 1.5*

Just sits whirling trying to get data from the Pinhole and screen real estate is all misaligned with zero data. Seems to be incompatible with the latest versions of Pi-hole.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2024-07-07*

Thank you for your work

### 5/5 — Parfait pour connaître ses statistiques

*2024-04-15*

Simple facile pour me connecter à mon serveur Pi-Hole !

### 5/5 — It took long but works now.

*2023-09-04*

Since several months there was no functionality and the promised update took very very long. But now ist works again!

### 5/5 — Now working fine again.

*2023-07-24*

It took months but now it’s okay.

### 1/5 — Keine Funktion mehr

*2023-05-18*

(English below)

Leider hat die APP seit mehreren Wochen keine Funktion mehr. PiHole hat die API geändert doch leider scheint der Entwickler bisher dies noch nicht umgesetzt zu haben. Ich hoffe das bald ein Update erfolgt. So lange wird die APP gelöscht bleiben. 

Unfortunately, the APP has no function for several weeks. PiHole has changed the API but unfortunately the developer does not seem to have implemented this yet. I hope that soon an update is made. So long the APP will remain deleted.

### 1/5 — No custom port support

*2023-04-22*

Doesn’t connect on a custom port, it doesn’t accept the Pihole address in the form IP_address:port. This makes it unusable to me. Any plan to update?

### 3/5 — No connection

*2023-01-02*

Suddenly no connection without any changes…🥺🤷‍♂️

**Developer response:** Sorry for the problem you are facing, it is due to latest changes in Pi-hole API. I am working on an update which should be published this month
