Could you make it work in landscape mode? I run in my Mac and the KVM console is in portrait mode which is hard to use. ### 3/5 — KVM console not adapted for PC *2023-07-03, version 1.9.0* keyboard input not available. Thats app ported from ipad ### 4/5 — FEATURE request *2023-06-28, version 1.9.0* The ability to have notes for each device. So once I've added a server, a notes tab where we can put notes or schedules for each device that I can pull up when I click on the device. ### 3/5 — ipv6 ？ *2022-09-23, version 1.9.0* i need ipv6 ### 4/5 — Funktioniert einwandfrei *2022-09-15, version 1.9.0* … vermisse eigentlich nur den Landscape Mode für KVM und eine Tastatureingabe per Bluetooth. ### 2/5 — Could easily be a five-star app... *2022-08-17, version 1.9.0* ...but on my MacBook Air M2, the KVM display is rotated 90°, so pretty much unworkable. Even more frustratingly, it opens correctly for a split-second, then rotates. If you don't need the KVM feature, you may still find this app very useful. ### 2/5 — KVM Rotation bug on M1 *2021-06-23, version 1.8.1* KVM is nearly useless on an M1 Mac. Stuck in portrait, probably because it started rendering the remote session sideways without informing the OS that it switched to landscape. Should be an easy fix. ### 4/5 — KVM *2021-05-15, version 1.8.1* С новой версией ios перестал работать KVM. ### 2/5 — Keyboard input is broken *2021-04-07, version 1.8.1* This app has been great and reliable for years but recently the keyboard layout was changed and some keys can’t be pressed. Several keys are under the “notch” for the camera and they keyboard cannot be repositioned. It’s nearly impossible to press “1”, for example. ### 4/5 — Please allow M1 mac users to run this app in portrait mode! *2021-03-28, version 1.8.1* This app would get 5 starts if we could run it correctly on M1 Macs, the JAVA Web Starter files are a total PITA to run nowadays when trying to manage SuperMicro servers on Macs, this App is perfect for it, but as it's made for iPad you guys did not include a real portrait mode as it's not technically required for an iPhone/iPad, but for the M1 desktop mode if you don't put one the KVM view ends up at the wrong angle with no way to fix the window angle. ### 3/5 — iPad support lacking *2021-01-05, version 1.8.0* iPad support was added, but only for portrait orientation. Really? All iPads that are mounted on keyboards are landscape. I can‘t understand how anyone can limit iPad support to portrait orientation these days. ### 3/5 — Ganz nett, aber auch nicht mehr... *2020-12-25, version 1.7.0* Keine Ipad App, kein Landscape. Prizipiell aber funktioniert die App. Hat aber den Vorteil, viel Raum für Verbesserungen...😂 ### 4/5 — Нет поддержкипланшетов *2020-11-02, version 1.7.0* На планшете запускается в «телефонном окне». Можно растянуть кнопкой, например, но хотелось бы нативной поддержки больших экранов. ### 2/5 — Does a good job If you don’t need kvm *2020-02-23, version 1.6.0* You can see and control everything of your server as expected. But when you need access via kvm you only get „initial error“ on our iPhone. So semi useful. ### 3/5 — Great app but keyboard should be floating not fixed *2019-06-16, version 1.6.0* This is one of the best remote control app I have ever seen, my main complaint is about the fixed keyboard which is always in the way or right on top of what I need to see. I would like to be able to position the keyboard wherever I want on the screen, maybe on the side or just floating. Another annoying feature is that it is stuck in landscape mode, going portrait could help with the keyboard display, there is ample space on ipad pros! Health checks and sensors will be displayed only if server is fully initialized. ### 3/5 — IPMI access on the go *2019-06-14, version 1.6.0* Works as stated including KVM console, but its an iPhone app, so it’s not great on an iPad. Could be much more useful with a proper iPad version. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — What is wrong with you Supermico? *2026-04-28, version 1.11.0* Would it really be too much effort to fix this so that the window is not rotated 90 degrees? ### 1/5 — How can this app be such hot garbage? *2024-05-19, version 1.9.0* Supermicro makes amazing hardware, built for longetivity and reliability, but this app is the exact opposite of that. The KVM, especially is unusable. The keyboard blocks the view of the screen, instead of shifting the screen up, on a Mac, the KVM is sideways and forces you to use a smushed on screen keyboard?? You can't even use a physical keyboard. This is very poorly implemented. I'd use the web application, but it development was also abandoanded and the Java web-applets are being blocked from running, no matter how many security protocols I try to disable in Java. This is really disappointing. ### 1/5 — Wish it worked better *2024-02-14, version 1.9.0* While technically it does connect and function, display resolution is awful and the display is rotated 90 degrees on my Macbook Pro ### 1/5 — Console unusable on M2 *2023-06-23, version 1.9.0* I could almost allow for the rotation issue and have this tool as emergency use only, but it won't accept any keyboard input. I can only use the onscreen keyboard. Try typing a proper root password with that! ### 1/5 — Kann keine Server hinzufügen *2023-04-16, version 1.9.0* Kann keinen Server hinzufügen, da ich einen Port dafür brauch obwohl ich keinen hinterlegt habe ### 1/5 — Going with 1 star, is there another way to get console?!? *2023-03-24, version 1.9.0* I love Supermicro and their history as a scappy purveyor of fine hardware. I've spent a lot of money over 20 years for their gear, I am very loyal to the brand. But this kind of thing with ILO/IPMI has come up in the past. The servers are all X10 motherboards which are hardly dead. HTML console over current spec HTTPS/TLS is the obvious solution here, but we are being left out to dry. It's really disappointing. How about some return loyalty, Supermicro? ### 1/5 — Kvm no longer works *2022-05-21, version 1.9.0* Kvm no longer works ### 1/5 — can't find local server! *2021-04-04, version 1.8.1* can't find local server! ### 1/5 — iPad version can’t login *2021-01-18, version 1.8.0* The app works fine from iPhone but when trying to log in from iPad, then Event Log on server shows “session audit #0xFF Assertion: Invalid Username or Password.” I’ve tried typing and also pasting the values to no avail ### 1/5 — Needs iPad Support *2019-05-27, version 1.6.0* This app could be tremendously useful if it had proper iPad support. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Some cool stuff *2023-03-14, version 1.9.0* With MikroTik and WireGuard or similar you may safely rule all your servers on your fingertips! Brilliant, but better stay with X10 and up systems! ### 5/5 — Useful! *2022-03-26, version 1.8.2* Useful app from Supermicro. It just needs more regular updates! ### 5/5 — SuperMicro: läuft *2019-09-29, version 1.6.0* Sehr schnell und stabil! ### 5/5 — pretty detailed and works well! *2018-12-15, version 1.5.0* pretty happy with the level of detail in control supermicro has provided here. I have about 20 different Supermicro Support where is added, x8, X9 and X10 systems and it works well. ### 5/5 — Can't update. *2017-07-23, version 1.3.0* Not compatible with my 5c model. ### 5/5 — Nice *2016-10-16, version 1.3.0* Sehr sehr schön - a Must have! und sehr nützlich, aber 1. virtuelle Tastatur funktioniert nicht richtig und im BIOS garnicht. 2. vielleicht eine Version fürs iPad möglich? In der KVM/Konsole mit den bedienbuttons parallel möglich ist? Bitte weiterentwickeln! ### 5/5 — Works great! *2016-04-10, version 1.2.0* All I can think to add is iPad support. ### 5/5 — 10/10 *2016-03-06, version 1.2.0* I can sysadmin while in bed ### 5/5 — Works well, needs iPad support. *2015-09-21, version 1.1.0* Works well with my supermicro server: power on/power off, sensors, even kvm. My server doesn't have a gui so I don't know how well mouse emulation works. The biggest improvement I can suggest is to make this into an iPad app. The iPhone screen is a little small for everything that can be done with the app. ### 5/5 — IPMI *2015-09-13, version 1.0.0* I love it excellent --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
