Need search capabilities

Overall the app works but each screen needs the capability to search. With a large network having to scroll to find things is not very useful.

Power User

Everything you could ask for from PiHole. Executed well.

Super - besonders mit mehreren Instanzen

Die App bereitet PiHole hervorragend auf, ist intuitiv zu bedienen und leichtgewichtig.
Ihre volle Stärke spielt sie bei mehreren Instanzen aus, welche einfach sychronisiert werden können und deren Statistiken auf Wunsch kombiniert aufbereitet und dargestellt werden können. Ein erstklassiger Alltagshelfer.
Mich überzeugt auch, dass die App selbst keine Datenkrake ist und - in guter Fortsetzung der PiHole-Idee - nicht „nach Hause telefoniert“. Sie ist ihren Preis mehr als wert!

Thank you, glad you like the app! 🙂 - Joost

Perfection

Nice layout, clean, responsive, full of features to manage pi-hole instances. Actively updated. Doesn’t phone home. Love it.

One little bug introduced in 9.4.1: when adding block lists/domains to several instances at once the green check marks are missing so there’s no visual confirmation where, or if, those entries are properly submitted to their intended destinations.

leider..

teilt die App ein Schicksal, was anscheinend im IT Bereich viele Apps erleiden. die Verschlimmbesserung. gefühlt ändert sich für den Endbenutzer ziemlich wenig durch das Update, ausser dass er offenbar eine Art unfreiwillige Beschäftigungstherapie bekommt. so in meinem Fall nun zum 2ten Mal geschehen. seit dem Update erkennt die App den pi hole nicht mehr. kann sein, dass sie mit den bei mir sporadisch wechselnden Netzwerkumgebungen nicht klarkommt. keine Ahnung. aber nicht lustig. Kommando zurück !! diesmal mein Fehler. geht wieder - alles super ! Bussi !

Response from developer

Hi! This seems to be a macOS bug. Please open the app ‘Activity Monitor’, search ‘Pi-hole Remote’ and close all processes. After that, you can update the app. I don’t have any influence so to say on the update process of macOS :-( I’d appreciate if you could update your review if you feel like it! Joost

App is solid everywhere but my Apple TVs

App performs well on all of my Apple devices (MBP, iPhone, iPad) but NOT my Apple TVs…the Pi-Hole Remote app basically grinds my Apple TV performance into the ground and makes it unusable. Beyond that would recommend!

Wonderful addition to PiHole is this app!

As a longtime Pi-hole user, this app is a fantastic companion to have in my pocket. It's genuinely full-featured — you get real control over your instance without hunting through the web admin on a small screen. The layout is clean and well thought out, clearly built by someone who actually uses Pi-hole rather than just wrapping an API.

The best part for me is that it runs great on my M-series Mac in addition to iOS, so I get the same polished experience whether I'm on my iPhone or at my desk. Having one app that works seamlessly across both platforms is a nice touch.

Pricing is very reasonable for what you get. The free tier is great for people who just want user-level blocking control, and the premium tier makes sense once you want the full feature set. That tiered approach feels fair — it doesn't lock away basic functionality, but gives power users a reason to upgrade.

Highly recommend for any Pi-hole fan who wants better on-the-go access to their setup.

The best Pi-hole monitoring app

Removing one star because there’s no Android version and I can only use this on my terrible work iPhone

Better and better…

This app keeps getting better and better with every update. Beautiful interface with seamless access to live logs so you can observe a site’s data request. Easier and faster access to gravity, network flush, DNS restart, and client tables. Grouping of devices/clients while in the app.

Helpful with one instance, an absolute must for synching multiple instances.

I got on this app early and it was very helpful. The synching has been easy and incredibly useful. I just realized I could also install this on my mac, and now I’m even more pleased. This is an app that feels like the developer made it so they could use it, and then shared it with us. Thank you!

Good enough free features

Ok

Easy to use PiHole App

A very easy to use and setup. All the stats and features are clear and easy. I set it up for my wife as well on her phone and she uses it frequently and finds it easy too.

Paid for, now features are paywalled

See above I bought good in 2024, now the features I need are behind an additional paywall. Tried doing restore purchase to no avail

Best app for pi

Hands down the best app to view your pi-hole setup in easy and user friendly way.

amazing

I never write reviews for apps, but this one deserves it. This app is incredibly well-made and well-maintained. I really love it.

Amazing app

Must have interface for Pi-hole server

This is an excellent way to interact with your Pi-hole server. I can’t see not having this app. Every update brings more capability.

Best Pi hole remote ever

I use this app to monitor my servers temperatures lol. The free version is perfectly adequate if you have only one Pi-hole instance.

Opening app on rarely used device wipes your instances.

First of all, I greatly enjoy this app. It works very well overall, but using iCloud sync is a nightmare.

If you go back to a device that you rarely use, and you’ve made any changes to instances, that rarely used install will completely wipe your current t settings for whatever happens to be saved on that rarely used device.

This is the THIRD time that I have to set my instances up again in the app because there is no error or save date settings that are checked. Today, I’m assuming I never set the app up on one of my TV’s and all four of my instances were simply wiped out.

Very bad.

Keep getting better and better
