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

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
