This DD-WRT app uses the web interface of your DD-WRT enabled router, so please make sure you have this enabled. Accessing your router remotely (away from the local network) requires you to know the WAN IP address and port of your network OR to have a DDNS address setup that forwards to your network. (You can set up DNS forwarding at www.dyn.com) DD-WRT has many different versions, so if you have any problems accessing any data please get in touch using the Feedback button so we can look at adding more support.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Network Kit at 4.8 against DD's 4.2. Network Kit also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly). DD's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (324 vs 4). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. DD sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per 3 months and Network Kit sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Network Kit holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DD has 324 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.
DD ships an update monthly, Network Kit every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
