Functional, but pitiful interface

Does exactly what it says it does, but *really* strange UI decisions, nearly to the point of functional detriment. A few small tweaks would make this a superstar app 🙏🏼

Works Great wish it allowed multiple piholes

Works great however would love to be able to use it to control both my piholes (for redundancy).

Rudimentary but greatly useful!

This app does exactly what it says it does. It’s rudimentary, in that I sure do wish it could do MORE with my pihole, but it’s great that now when I’m not home, my partner can temporarily drop the shields on our home network and get whatever website or app that isn’t working to load.

The app is easy to use, and my only gripe was that it only accepts an IP address for the address of the pihole. It would be an obvious step to have the app search at pi.hole if you didn’t know the up address.

Wonderful job so far and I really do hope the author continues development.
