### 5/5 — Truly useful

*2021-01-13*

I used to have a webhook synced with Slack to view statuses of every deployments I make on Vercel but now I don’t have to, it’s right on top of my screen. I use it everyday and I highly recommend it.

### 1/5 — Scam likely???

*2024-10-02*

I’ve now downloaded two apps to try to use vercel on iOS both of them have had the same exact UI and integration function with the integration. Add button does not work after logging in with all your credentials.

**Developer response:** Hey there, I’m sorry to hear Zeitgeist didn’t work as expected. Depending on when you last tried using the app, you might have encountered a temporary issue related to which entitlements Zeitgeist required from your account. Vercel recently changed log drains from a free to a paid feature, and this inadvertently impacted Zeitgeist’s integration and prevented login for users who didn’t have log drains. I have since removed this requirement from the integration. If you’d reconsider trying Zeitgeist again, I’d love to hear any additional feedback. Feel free to send an email to dan.eden@me.com if you need more help.

### 1/5 — Bestimmt eine Gute App Aber…

*2024-06-13*

hätte man mir vorher sagen können, dass ich zwingend ein Pro Abonnement bei Vercel benötige um die App generell nutzen zu können?

Ich bin mir sicher, dass die App genau diese Features abbildet welche beworben werden. Allerdings als „Hobby“ Entwickler unbrauchbar, da ich keinen Sinn darin sehe mir bei Vercel das Pro Abonnement zu buchen.

**Developer response:** Hallo Darkbasti, Zeitgeist erfordert kein Vercel Pro-Abonnement, um es zu verwenden. (Ich selbst benutze die Hobby-Stufe!) Wenn Sie einen Mangel an Funktionalität mit der Hobby-Stufe haben, können Sie gerne einen Fehlerbericht einreichen, indem Sie die In-App-Einstellungen öffnen und auf "Feedback senden" tippen, oder indem Sie zu github.com/daneden/Zeitgeist/issues/new gehen

### 1/5 — Main app doesn’t work

*2023-11-28*

Widget works fine but no projects display on the app screen. Friend has the same behavior on his end

### 3/5 — Looks great but status isn’t updating correctly

*2024-01-13*

When I click on a deployment, the “status” isn’t updating correctly 

For example if I click on a deployment that I can see on the website in front of me is “Building” - The Zeitgeist app correctly shows the deployment under the recent deployments section as building but when I click on it, I can see the UI initially shows “building” in purple but then immediately changes to a greyed out “Ready” which is incorrect.

Once that gets fixed I’m happy to increase my rating but otherwise I’m not entirely trusting the data in this app to be accurate just yet. 

Would also be incredibly useful if the UI showed the branch that is being deployed, not just the commit name.

### 3/5 — Nice to have but limited

*2023-02-09*

Doesn’t show you deployments that did not get executed due to failures in CD on GitHub. I get that that’s not the purpose of the app, but it would be nice to see them.

**Developer response:** Hey vsvdmvn! Thanks for your review. Zeitgeist only connects to your Vercel account, and as such does not have visibility into GitHub CD failures, especially if those jobs prevent a deployment being created in the first place. If Vercel adds this information to their API in the future, I can integrate it.

### 3/5 — 🤷‍♂️Works

*2022-04-04*

Was hoping to have notifications built in but it’s a bit steep to ask for a subscription on top of an already paid app. Works for viewing deployments but would be nice to list individual projects in a grid view as well. Well designed and speedy to navigate :)

Would also be cool to have a default selected account and also a widget to view recently failed deployments etc.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review! I’m pleased to report that from version 2.2, Notifications are no longer paywalled. I also appreciate your feature suggestions—I plan on incorporating some of these changes in the next major update.

I look forward to hearing any additional feedback and feature requests you might have for Zeitgeist.

### 4/5 — Can’t see any projects

*2023-11-15*

Sadly

### 5/5 — It’s Vercel on iOS

*2025-03-18*

It does what it says on the tin. 

Simple, easy to use, easy to parse the information displayed, and navigable exactly how you’d expect when coming from the Vercel on web. 

Great execution.

### 5/5 — Excellent App & Well Executed

*2025-03-09*

This app has gotten a few bad reviews over the years and it absolutely deserves a higher rating as I took a chance and tried it myself to see if it would work. I can definitely say that the app works right out the box, zero complications and zero complaints. I would absolutely pay more for the app because IT’S THAT GOOD. I only have a few suggestions, I’d love to see more customizable features in the applications like project icons / colors or customizable themes. That is all! It is a solid app and worth your money.

### 5/5 — Hidden Gem for Vercel Users

*2025-02-13*

This app is a great companion for Vercel users, fits in with iOS,  dark mode support and widgets, only thing this is missing is rich notifications.

### 5/5 — Funktioniert auch ohne Vercel Pro

*2024-08-26*

### 5/5 — This is such a well made app for something I thought was too specific

*2024-05-08*

I love using NextJs for my websites but I also love using Vercel to host it. When I try to share the site links to my clients and whatnot, there is always a little fall off but with this app I can see a bright and simpler future ahead for how I can coordinate these showcases.

Very smooth and simple design! Great job

### 5/5 — Great UX!

*2023-09-02*

Overall much nicer than checking email notifications from Vercel

### 5/5 — Useful app

*2023-03-19*

Thanks for programming this, it really helps me keep track on all my deployments.

### 5/5 — Can’t sign in

*2022-07-06*

Prompts for a sign in through Vercel but immediately crashes with an edge function error.

Review update: dev was quick to respond and fixed the issue! Thanks!

**Developer response:** Hi there! I’m sorry you encountered this problem. I recently pushed a fix to the authentication server that should allow you to sign in without any issues.

### 5/5 — Buggy

*2021-06-24*

On my iPhone 12 Pro Max, I cannot select some of the buttons. I looks like there are some compatibility problems with edge of screens.  
Edit: I complained about UI problems on my iPhone 12 Pro Max… the issues have now been fixed in the latest release! Updating my stars & review here.

**Developer response:** Hi there! I’m sorry to hear you’re experiencing UI bugs in Zeitgeist. I just released a big update in v2 which might address some of the issues you encountered. If you continue to experience problems, please feel free to submit feedback via the new in-app form.

### 5/5 — Great lil app

*2021-06-06*

I work on a lot of side projects, and this gives me the ability to see their current status directly on my Home Screen. So convenient - thanks Dan!
