Beyond that would recommend! ### 4/5 — The best Pi-hole monitoring app *2026-07-06, version 9.2* Removing one star because there’s no Android version and I can only use this on my terrible work iPhone ### 4/5 — Good enough free features *2026-05-21, version 9.0* Ok ### 3/5 — Opening app on rarely used device wipes your instances. *2026-03-25, version 8.6.2* 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. ### 3/5 — No longer connects *2026-03-15, version 8.6* As a paid user I am bummed that I can no longer connect. It just quit working all of a sudden but I can connect to my dashboard from my laptop. You would think if anything changed that would impact connectivity but there would be a notification but I haven’t received anything. ### 3/5 — Doesn’t work on https *2026-03-15, version 8.6* It seems to work on ip addresses only, when I try to switch to domain name it gets a not found error, even when domain name works on all systems and browsers. Please let me know when https works! ### 5/5 — If you have Pi-hole, you need this *2026-03-07, version 8.5.1* I’m a long time Pi-hole user and found mention of this on Reddit, so I thought I’d try the demo. After a few days, I bought it. ### 5/5 — Pi-Hole Remote is a must have. *2026-03-03, version 8.5* 03/03/2026: Added new instant to one device and the rest synced up so all back to normal. 03/01/2026: Pi-Hole Remote update deleted my instances. Very sad. Been using Pi-Hole for many years and this app Pi-Hole Remote makes Pi-Hole so much better. I wouldn’t go without the remote app. Live Logs and custom black and white lists on the fly. Statistics at a glance and so much more. Do yourself a favor and get this app if you run Pi-Hole. Also, please support the dev, the work that goes into is unimaginable and it’s amazing work. ### 5/5 — Good *2026-03-02, version 8.4* Thank u ### 5/5 — Kick’n app *2026-02-28, version 8.4* Great work , keep it up would like to see app icon option but first would issues!! Keep it up. ### 5/5 — Easy & Simple *2026-02-27, version 8.4* Easy to set up, reliable, basic functionality is free ### 5/5 — Wow *2026-02-20, version 8.4* Absolutely incredible. Fantastically well built and designed. Highly recommend. Please keep up the good work. ### 5/5 — Excellent remote access app *2026-02-14, version 8.3.2* This app really couldn’t be any better to remotely access, monitor, even configure pi-hole. For the value it offers it’s even priced very fair. Happy to have paid the lifetime license. Well done, Joost! ### 5/5 — Extremely useful *2026-02-05, version 8.3.2* The pi-hole remote is extremely useful and I use it daily to monitor my pi-hole and view blocked domains ### 5/5 — Beautiful piece of software *2026-02-04, version 8.3.1* I love this app. I only wish I could better monitor my clients list. The home page says “6 clients” active through the pi-hole, but tapping on the list only reveals 1. Maybe it’s a user error, but I’d like to see it resolved if possible. Again, beautifully-designed app and worth every penny I paid for the lifetime subscription. ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2026-01-30, version 8.3.2* Makes managing my Pi-hole easy! ### 3/5 — Does okay *2026-01-26, version 8.3.1* It’s just an informational app with limited administration controls. Unfortunately, you can only manage one Pi at a time, so if you have a Pihole server running DHCP and another Pihole, you can only monitor one. ### 5/5 — Best of those I have tried *2026-01-17, version 8.2.1* This is a great app for pi hole management particularly cross-platform on Mac iPhone and iPad. Some interesting features like “sync” and appears to be under active development. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Paid for, now features are paywalled *2026-05-17, version 8.7.2* See above I bought good in 2024, now the features I need are behind an additional paywall. Tried doing restore purchase to no avail ### 1/5 — No longer works *2026-01-30, version 8.3.2* It just spins and spins no connection went to admin and it gave me a file list changed too https and admin works again. Please fix this ### 1/5 — Pretty app but why so expensive? *2025-12-19, version 8.1.2* The app looks good and seems to have all the functionality one might need but I don’t understand why I would need to pay so much for an app that primarily works off my own local network and just gives a fancy UI to an API other developers created. What is especially frustrating is that so much basic functionality is locked behind the paywall. Functionality that doesn’t cost the developer anything to permit to basic users. On top of that, they admit to being a single dev. What if the PiHole API changes, the app breaks, and the dev never gets around to fixing it? Now I’ve just paid an exorbitant fee for some useless bits on my phone. I get wanting to be paid for your work and I appreciate being given the choice between recurring and one time payments but cmon. For a smaller one time fee, maybe. Ad supported, sure I guess. Subscriptions though? Not a chance. ### 1/5 — Unraid no go *2025-11-16, version 8.1* Will not connect to unraid pi-hole no matter whey try. Would like refund ### 1/5 — very bad paywall *2025-09-14, version 8.0* The app used to be extremely useful, but after adding the paywall, it became worthless. ### 1/5 — Used to be easy to use *2025-07-14, version 7.3.1* New updates have made this app extremely unfriendly to use. Used to be able to turn it off n on by the press of a button. New interface is hopelessly worthless. You shouldn’t need a manual to navigate the app. ### 1/5 — This is never works *2025-06-18, version 7.2* Tried many ways to connect the pi-hole instance never worked ### 1/5 — Was good *2025-06-08, version 7.1.1* Now completely stuffed ### 1/5 — Won’t connect *2025-05-10, version 6.7* Stuck on connecting to server on iPhone and iPad. Web interface works fine. ### 1/5 — Pulled a bait-and-switch with paid features *2025-04-18, version 6.6.1* The app is well-developed, performant, easy to use, and provided a host of neat tools to manage from my phone, but after owning the app for 5 months they’ve now locked previously-free features like simple Home Screen widgets behind a paywall, making this essentially useless to me. I might as well just go to the browser and log into the pihole from there. If free features STAYED free, I would have given it 5 stars. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Wonderful addition to PiHole is this app! *2026-07-30, version 9.3* 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. ### 5/5 — Better and better… *2026-06-25, version 9.1.2* 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. ### 5/5 — Helpful with one instance, an absolute must for synching multiple instances. *2026-06-12, version 9.1* 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! ### 5/5 — Easy to use PiHole App *2026-05-20, version 9.0* 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. ### 5/5 — Best app for pi *2026-05-02, version 8.7.2* Hands down the best app to view your pi-hole setup in easy and user friendly way. ### 5/5 — amazing *2026-04-16, version 8.7.1* I never write reviews for apps, but this one deserves it. This app is incredibly well-made and well-maintained. I really love it. ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2026-04-02, version 8.6.2* W developer ### 5/5 — Must have interface for Pi-hole server *2026-03-31, version 8.6.2* 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. ### 5/5 — Best Pi hole remote ever *2026-03-29, version 8.6.2* I use this app to monitor my servers temperatures lol. The free version is perfectly adequate if you have only one Pi-hole instance. ### 5/5 — Keep getting better and better *2026-03-16, version 8.6.1* Such a well designed app --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
