### 5/5 — Absolut großartig so macht es echt richtig Spaß

*2025-08-29, version 2.0.2*

Funktioniert sauber und zuverlässig nutze es um mein Balkonkraftwerk zu visualisieren, kann sehen wie voll meine Batterie ist, mein Zuhause von überall steuern, bekomme mit wenn einer an der Tür klingelt, und könnte noch zig weitere Möglichkeiten einbauen, einfach super, gerne volle Punktzahl und jeden Cent Wert, das ist mir das Abo wert.
Mach weiter so und danke von Schansi.

### 1/5 — Nicht gut

*2025-07-08, version 2.0.1*

Auf dem Handy funktioniert die App nicht. Seite lässt sich nicht öffnen und Menü links kommt nicht. Auf dem iPad ok und mit dem Handy nicht zu gebrauchen. Dafür dann noch Kosten verlangen?

### 5/5 — Great Tool

*2025-06-03*

This solved a problem of communicating greenhouse data to multiple people with updates every few minutes. 
In the two years it has been running i have had no issues with the app. 
I start with long distant communications using Ubiquity nano wifi links through 800 feet of forest, to hive server via MQTT. From there to an old dell short tower which is on 24/7, where a red node application lays out data on a display. 
This remote-red application makes the final link to android and i phones as reliable as possible. Super software.

### 5/5 — Tutto ok!!

*2025-03-01, version 2.0.1*

Ora è ok 👍

### 5/5 — Einfach unglaublich

*2024-10-22, version 1.5.0*

Ich bin sehr faszinieret von dem App. Es ist mega praktisch. Ich bin euch dankbar!

### 5/5 — Works well

*2024-07-01*

Works well allowing me to access my dashboard remotely.  Looks and acts just like I am viewing the dashboard through a web browser on a desktop/laptop.  Also is great for sharing access to the dashboard with others.

### 5/5 — Works

*2024-04-25*

Actually working is pretty important. Seems fast and lets you roll through the screen if you have a large display. I had some issues initially setting up because any communications these days seems to need a bunch of things exactly correct.  Its about as straightforward as you can get.

### 1/5 — Zeitverschwendung.

*2024-02-13, version 1.5.0*

Zeitverschwendung. Kann alles selbst gebaut werden.

### 5/5 — Good

*2024-01-23, version 1.5.0*

Very good for me.

### 1/5 — Sotto Wi-Fi funziona da remoto no

*2023-12-09, version 1.5.0*
