### 2/5 — Sadly outdated

*2025-04-12, version 1.4.1*

Amazing that someone put in the work, bu5 it doesn’t work since v6 or so. A shame, i would have loved to use it.

### 1/5 — Doesnt work on ios 18

*2025-02-12, version 1.4.1*

You will get failure to get info on app

### 1/5 — IOS 16.2

*2023-01-01, version 1.4.1*

App doesn’t connect or can’t find pi-hole it isn’t asking to use local network so app is firewalled by iOS please release update.

### 5/5 — Works Wonderful!

*2022-02-02, version 1.4.1*

This is the only app that actually works on the App Store right now. Some let you specify a port, but don’t retrieve data properly and others don’t let you specify a host name instead an ip. This app works very well. The only thing I wish it had was a widget so I could see my stats at a quick glance on my home screen.

### 3/5 — Does what it says

*2020-11-09, version 1.4.1*

App does what it claims on the tin but seems pretty basic. Nonetheless it’s the first open source app that I saw for pihole that’s on iOS so there’s that.

### 4/5 — Nice tool for pi hole

*2020-06-21, version 1.3*

Helpful tool for pi hole user. But would be great if screen solution could be adjusted for iPad.
