Also if I manually update, app quits:( Please fix! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work *2026-07-09* Doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Hi *2025-09-23* Hello , how can I connect it please, I need help!! 😢 I paid and I’m struggling on how to connect it to make it work on my iPhone. ### 1/5 — can’t even log in to dyn *2024-12-29* give my id and pw and app just closes **Developer response:** We are sorry for the inconvenience. Please update to the latest version which offers a fix for your problem. ### 1/5 — Still bad, spend your money somewhere else. *2024-07-21* The review from six years ago still unfortunately remain to be correct. I have a Cloudflare DDNS that it does not update for at all. Cloudflare says that the token I gave for it has never been accessed whatsoever and when I press the update button the app crashes and send me to my home screen. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We’ve just released a new version that fixes the CloudFlare bug. Please update to the latest version, and let us know if you have any further issues. We appreciate your patience! ### 1/5 — Finds and uses wrong IP address *2024-02-08* If I log into my remote server the welcome message shows the IP I'm logging in from. That's the IP I expected to be found and used by this app. But, for reasons I don't understand, it finds and uses another, different IP. Sadly I'll have to request a refund. ### 1/5 — No response after you opened a ticket with your issue. *2018-10-26* I recently used it for my Cloudflare account and the app failed to update DNS with dynamic IP. I opened a ticket on their support website but there was no response after three days. ### 1/5 — Fails in Background *2018-05-17* Set up multiple Hurricane Electric hosts. Can confirm the update button successfully updates the hosts. However, throughout the day I continually receive “authentication unsuccessful” messages and my hosts do not update. Useless for my needs. ### 2/5 — Abandoned *2022-02-25* This app appears to have been abandoned by the developer. No activity on their twitter account in years. App has issues with iOS15. ### 2/5 — App quits *2018-09-24* Quits after each dons update. Settings page isn't formatted correctly. ### 3/5 — Good, just needs a little more work! *2025-11-06* Using for CloudFlare and running on an iPhone. Works well and updates the record configured in the app. Some UI tweaks would be very helpful, specifically in the Configure hostname section. Tapping ’SAVE’ doesn’t provide any feedback the action was taken or successful. A simple change of the button color to green or adding a checkmark icon would be helpful. Secondly, there are 3 options in the Network Interface source - Both | WiFi | Mobile Data - this would be extremely helpful to have, however, it doesn’t currently work. Only the WiFi is registering under the ‘Both’ setting. Tapping either WiFi or Mobile Data fails to register and maintain the setting. I presume the issue also exists with the IP source settings. I haven’t tested that portion. ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Works as advertised *2024-05-08* Took me a while to work out what to do, but this is basically an app that replaces the dynamic update client of DDNS services for iPhones. You need to set up the DDNS host names etc via your DDNS service provider and then enter the account details and then host details within the app so whatever IPv4 address your phone is using gets updated to the relevant host name(s). ### 5/5 — Works great for godaddy *2018-08-04* When I purchased it failed to work with godaddy. RealDNS researched and had it fixed within two days. Thank you for great support!! ### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for! *2017-02-25* Easy to setup with my Google DynamicDNS, and works perfectly. Thank you! ### 4/5 — It works. Does exactly what it says it will do. *2019-09-21* This app works and updates DynDNS effectively. If you require DynDNS to whitelist roaming knowledge workers to allow them to access network resources the this will do the job. ### 4/5 — DNS provider suggestion *2018-07-04* Since DtDNS close door in a few days on August 1 2018 may I suggest thïs provider as a replacement. I use it for my PC and works great. dynu.com ### 3/5 — Lost *2020-01-12* This app does not do a great job in the instruction/tutorial category. I just purchased this app, after doing a lot of port forwarding, port triggering, static ip etc.. for my optimum 400 and my Xbox one x and iPhone. I have used all the google, cloudflare, open dsn, a bunch of different dsn’s directly on my Xbox one x. I get varied results in the download upload and latency categories. I purchased this app thinking is would make things easier but ends up I have spend hours signing up for certain dns accounts because it turns out that’s is not as simple as entering my internet providers info, or inputting 1.1.1.1 - 1.0.0.1 or 8.8.8.8 - 8.8.4.4 for example. I just can’t get it working ### 3/5 — Does What it Says *2019-12-11* It does what it says on the tin. Interface is clunky and has some UI graphic errors to it, not meant to be opened a lot so I guess that’s ok. Kind of sorry I paid for it but then kind of not. ### 3/5 — No auto IP change *2018-10-16* Wondering why it does not update my dyn IP simply when my IP changes. Who cares if I walked 500 meters or 173 meters. All I need is for the IP to be updated. Now. If the app can’t do this in the background I find it weird. ### 3/5 — Needs update *2018-10-09* With recent Apple update to 12, the app crashes. Please update. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
