### 2/5 — Useless

*2025-09-02, version 2.1.5*

Primary use case for most people for this app is to control the docker apps. Which of course doesn’t work. 
Reached out to the developer over 3 times, with no response.

### 3/5 — Leaves a lot to be desired

*2024-09-02*

The app looks nice, however items like not detecting traffic on the network leaves critical features unfinished or unpolished.

### 2/5 — Docker didn’t work

*2024-07-04, version 2.1.5*

App overall worked but wouldn’t pull any info on dockers so no use to me

### 2/5 — RIP

*2024-06-29*

Since this stopped being developed, docker no longer loads for me. Surprisingly my shares still work though… Looks like the dev went off and got a real job, maybe one day he will come back to us (-;

### 2/5 — Unmaintained

*2024-03-17, version 2.1.5*

App is unmaintained and some functions no longer work.

### 1/5 — Very little actually works

*2024-02-07*

Shares aren’t working (they never worked) Docker doesn’t work. None of the containers load. There’s only the “shimmer” like they’re being processed, but nothing ever happens. Vms don’t load. Network load doesn’t work. CPU meters work, hard drive usage works, terminal works. But that’s it.

### 1/5 — Privacy Policy

*2024-02-03, version 2.1.5*

This privacy policy is very scummy. Do not give this man your server data.

### 1/5 — Features do not work

*2023-12-21*

The application connects to unraid easily. The main page looks good. Unfortunately that’s all you get. I do not have any VMs running but I do have many docker containers. None of them show on docker tab. Disappointed, had to ask for refund. Would be happy to keep app if it worked.

### 2/5 — Manque de fonctionnalités

*2023-11-03, version 2.1.5*

Ne sert pas à grand chose. Je regrette mon achat. 

Oui je peux voir mes disques du RAID (pas les disques de parité ou les disques de cache) et les cpu mais il ne reconnaît pas mes shares. Pas d’accès aux messages.  Oui je peux démarrer un check de parité et redémarrer mais comme de toute façon je dois être sur le réseau local (pas d’accès cloud) alors aussi bien me connecter à partir d’un ordinateur. 

Il bien hâte qu’Unraid upgrade son interface web pour prendre en compte les téléphones.

### 1/5 — STOP SPAMMING ME FOR REVIEWS

*2023-08-04, version 2.1.5*

I like this app, I really do. But it asks me for a review every time I use it. If I wanted to review your app I’d do it. Clearly I don’t, but you want to force me to, so here you go. Hope you are happy.

### 3/5 — Docker doesn’t work

*2023-08-01, version 2.1.5*

My docker tab hasn't worked one since purchasing and setting up the app.

### 1/5 — Was awesome now useless

*2023-06-24, version 2.1.5*

Suspected due to updates over the past year or so, functions slowly seemed to stop working with every passing update.  I’m sad because I preferred this app over some others

### 1/5 — No longer seems to be supported

*2023-05-20, version 2.1.5*

App is dead. No longer supported or updated

### 1/5 — Needs a lot of work: not worth money

*2023-02-16, version 2.1.5*

Can’t see network activity
Disk usage percentages are off
Can’t access files
CPU usage is our office by 10%
Could use temperature readouts from hard drives
Would like to see GPU usage by percentage and wattage plus temperature.

### 3/5 — Needs patching

*2023-01-29, version 2.1.5*

Doesn’t show data for disks 1 and 2 but everything after reads fine. I have 5 disks and a parity

### 2/5 — Outdated

*2023-01-26*

Most of this app doesn’t function anymore. I’m pretty sure it’s due to the changes in the unRaid OS over the last year. Also, for the functions that do work I would have to forward and expose the HTTP or SSL port to the internet. Securing everything the way I would need to would be more effort than this app is worth.  Basically this app really is only useful at my house. I was hoping it interfaced with the Mysetvers plug-in which would allow me to not have these security risks. 

Some functions only seem to be available via SSL and not HTTP. Sadly there doesn’t seem to be any apps out there that let you truly monitor your unRaid server. Netdata Cloud does have a web page version though and that’s what I will be using.

### 1/5 — Not compatible with latest versions

*2023-01-25, version 2.1.5*

Needs to be updated. For now don’t bother

### 1/5 — Abandoned

*2023-01-25, version 2.1.5*

This app is abandoned and no longer updated to work with newer unraid versions

### 1/5 — Doesn’t show virtual machines and the terminal doesn’t work

*2023-01-24, version 2.1.5*

This apps virtual machines do not work nor does opening the terminal. Parity checks don’t work. Wish I could have my money back…

### 2/5 — Only partially functional

*2023-01-21, version 2.1.5*

On my unraid server, Supervisor’s shares and virtual machines does not work. No indications why. Looking at the history of this app, it appears that ot is not actively maintained.

Numerous emails to the developer have gone unanswered.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Abandoned. Do not purchase.

*2025-09-27, version 2.1.5*

App has been abandoned by the developer.

### 1/5 — No longer supported

*2025-04-18, version 2.1.5*

This used to work really well. Gave you all the stats of your server in a nice dashboard. Now most of the functionality is broken. Dockers don’t work properly, the stats for most things don’t work either. Pretty sure that the app has been abandoned.

### 1/5 — Does not function

*2025-04-11, version 2.1.5*

Over half the functions do not work! Do not waste your money

### 1/5 — Probably was decent

*2024-12-27, version 2.1.5*

This might have been a good app 3 years ago… but that’s the last time it received an update. App is dead. Dockers and VMs don’t show up/work.

### 1/5 — Do not Buy if you have a non standard connection port!

*2024-10-05, version 2.1.5*

It does not work and Apple will not refund the purchase. Very very poor.

### 1/5 — Unusable & abandoned

*2024-05-29, version 2.1.5*

Does not work with current versions of Unraid and has not been updated in 3 years

### 1/5 — Not good

*2024-05-19, version 2.1.5*

Very dates looking and clunky. Functions just flat out don’t work. Can’t see VM’s, page is just broken

It’s such a shame I’d pay handsomely to have an app like this that was functional. Co trolling vms with the unraid web interface on a phone is awful

### 1/5 — All Docker info not loading

*2024-05-19*

The docker cpu usage and the docker tab will not load . The docker tab seems like it is trying to load but even after giving 10 minutes, still nothing .
Also the network load shows nothing as well. Really sad since everything else works good.

### 1/5 — App Not Maintained - Docker Containers no Longer Working

*2024-03-10, version 2.1.5*

I’ve user this app for a considerable amount of time and was really happy with what I was able to see and control on my Unraid server.

The app has not been maintained for some time though and since the release of Unraid V16, your list of docker containers will no longer load, which was one of the main reasons for me using this app.

### 1/5 — No longer works, is not maintained

*2024-02-10, version 2.1.5*

This app no longer works and is not maintained. Unraid 6.9 might be the last version where most features worked.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — 2022 Works Great!

*2022-04-15, version 2.1.5*

Running with UNRAID 6.9.2, and everything working great! Nice looking dashboards for iPhones.

### 5/5 — Works great on my 6.92.

*2021-06-21, version 2.1.5*

Works great on my 6.92. Can’t wait the next update.

### 5/5 — Would love a wiget

*2021-02-27, version 2.1.2*

Would really love a wiget for the action centre (lock screen) other than that it looks great and functions great

### 5/5 — Very pretty app

*2020-10-03, version 2.1.2*

This app both looks great and works extremely well. Does everything I need to be able to do to manage my Unraid server from my phone and as a bonus has full support for dark mode!

### 5/5 — Please fix ASAP

*2020-09-30, version 2.1.2*

This app froze my 2018 12.9in iPad Pro with the inability to reboot. Had to wait for the battery to fully drain. Considering this is a paid app, this is unacceptable to not have stable iOS14 release ready by now.

### 5/5 — Amazing updates, worth buying.

*2020-06-03, version 2.1*

1.0 was not worth buying - it was buggy and the interface unintuitive. This version is really going somewhere! 
The UI looks fantastic. Smooth and modern. Worth every penny now. They even added a terminal in a recent update. 

My two suggestions: 1 I’d love to be able to click into each of the graphs and have them fill the whole screen so I can monitor network activity in more detail. If I can also move around the modules and get rid of some of them, that’d be even better. 

2 I have one unraid server. Would be good to have the option to open the server right away when I open the app without having to select it each time.

### 5/5 — Surprising fantastic

*2020-06-03, version 2.1*

I came from using RControl on Android and I thought it had it all but since the new UI update this app is now my go to. The UI is beautiful and works well. I hope the devs keep up their hard work as this is truly a gem for unraid users.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2020-05-20*

I’ve been using this app for a little over a year now. The new update that just came out is spot on! Nice UI, great information, and great functionality. Great job developer.

**Developer response:** Hi jdjankov, thank you for the review and information about the issue you are having. An update has been submitted to address connection and information updating issues, in the mean time when on the docker or virtual machine view if you pull down on the screen it will reload the data from the server. In addition those feature requests will be added an upcoming update. Thank you again for your time.

### 5/5 — Redesign is great

*2020-05-20*

The redesign fixed all the issues of the previous versions.  The interface is simple and good looking. Great app for performing basic tasks in your server!

### 5/5 — Great UI

*2020-05-19, version 2.0*

The new layout is fantastic. I’ve had a much better experience with this app over ControlR. Easy to find my docker images and restart if needed or open the webpage for any of them. For the future it’d be nice to set a server as default so you don’t have to click into it each time and different coloured icons to pick from. And long term GPU usage, but I guess that’s a much bigger ask.
