### 5/5 — Best iOS app for Proxmox

*2026-05-12, version 2.16.0*

This app is exactly what I needed. It functions well without issues. I reached out to the developer for a question I had and he responded almost instantly.

Overall great app and support.

### 5/5 — Works great on Mac

*2026-04-02, version 2.14.1*

Works pretty good on Mac

### 5/5 — Thoroughly impressed

*2026-03-13, version 2.14.1*

This is exactly what I have been searching for.

### 5/5 — Top

*2026-02-21*

Une application au top pour suivre son serveur et de plus régulièrement mise à jour ! Bravo !

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-01-28, version 2.13.0*

It is a fantastic app that lets you see all the useful starts and interact with your Proxmox cluster on the go. Would definitely recommend. I hope they add desktop support soon.

### 5/5 — Verdammt gute App / Ergänzung

*2026-01-22*

Ich habe nur lobende Worte übrig. Die App wird laufend um sinnvolle Funktionen weiter entwickelt. Sie ist im Gegensatz zur normalen Web-Oberfläche wirklich eine sinnvolle Hilfe/Ergänzung für die täglich anfallenden Aufgaben, um mal schnell was zu erledigen. Lediglich die Terminal-Ansicht könnte noch etwas optimiert werden, aber ich gehe davon aus, dass dies noch auf der Agenda ist. Am Ende find ich es auch super, dass es einen bezahlbaren Lifetime Kauf gibt. Dies reduziert die Hemmschwelle zum Kauf beträchtlich, weil ich (und sicher auch viele andere) in den heutigen Zeiten, wo man eh so viele Abos hat und nicht drum herum kommt, keine Lust auf noch mehr Abos habe. Weiter so!

### 2/5 — Trop de chose payante

*2026-01-13*

On a quasiment que des écrans "exemple" et finalement très peu d'informations qui émanent du vrai serveur... Seul point positif, on peut utiliser le terminal et sur iPadOS le ctrl+c fonctionne !

### 5/5 — Fantastic Proxmox app

*2025-12-31, version 2.11.0*

Great Proxmox companion app! ProxMate is fast, intuitive, and makes managing VMs and containers easy on the go. Clean UI, very useful.

### 5/5 — Super App! Aber Funktionen fehlen.

*2025-12-19*

Super App, tolle moderne UI aber ein paar Funktionen fehlen leider. Ich muss vlans manuell über die Konsole setzen und in der Konsole kann ich leider nicht vernünftig navigieren. Es fehlt da die extra Tastatur für Terminals. Sonst top! Hab auch die Vollversion gekauft.

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für deine tolle Bewertung und dein Feedback! Bei der Konsole gibt es noch Verbesserungsbedarf, da hast du recht! Ich habe den Fehler gefunden, dass backspace nicht richtig funktionierte. Darüber hinaus habe ich für das nächste Update viele weitere für das Terminal nützliche Buttons hinzugefügt. Ich hoffe die Änderung ist in deinem Sinne! Falls dir dennoch etwas fehlt, lass es mich gerne in der App unter Einstellungen > "Contact Developer" wissen.

### 5/5 — Perfektes Management

*2025-12-12*

Mit Proxmate konnte ich mein Servermanagement und Monitoring sehr gut erweitern. Alles funktioniert ohne Probleme. Sehr gut finde ich die Temperaturanzeige der im Server installierten Sensoren. Der Preis für die kompletten Proxmate Funktionen stehen in einem guten Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Alles in Allem ein sehr gelungenes Projekt.

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für deine tolle Bewertung, es freut mich, dass die App gefällt!
