User Reviews for Pi-hole Remote

Buy it. It works.

This is a very useful app for those who employ a Pi-hole in their network. The new Blocked Services feature made an already great app even better. I hope additional services—many I’m sure I’m not even aware of—can be added for more granular control of individual services compared to traditional Pi-hole blacklists. I also wish I was able to update blacklists through here, too, but I suspect the access privileges needed to do so aren’t there— no matter who the developer is.

Fantastic app!

Love the app; I use it all the time for controlling network traffic. Feature request: add enable/disable buttons to the blacklist/whitelist entries? Maybe even a button to enter/exit a mode where the Pi-hole collectively enables/disables multiple addresses at once? I’m thinking like parental controls mode where we can lock down certain sites without turning off the entire Pi-hole. The Pi-hole web UI has these enable/disable buttons, and I think it would be a great addition to your app.Thank you and keep up the great work.

A must have for anyone with a Pi-Hole

First of all, this app is beautiful and simple. The design language is clean and functional. I have used Pi-Hole for the past 3 years or so and while the web based dashboard was fine, it has always been a bit of a hassle to login and poke through menus to do things. This app makes really good use of the Pi-Hole API so that I am always signed in and I have quick access to disable blocking and view top queries/clients. One thing I would like to see is the Query Log. I am not sure if this is possible with the API though.

Incredibly well-designed app

This is a fantastic app for controlling pi-hole. You can tell that the developer put a ton of work into this—even the smallest things are well designed, like the cool animation when you refresh the query graph. One small bug I noticed though: sometimes, for no apparent reason, when you tap and hold on a domain and select “add to whitelist” it will not automatically populate the domain field on the following “add a domain” screen with the domain you selected and you will have to manually type it in. I haven’t noticed any pattern as to when this happens. Otherwise, a fantastic app :)

Great app, but would like to see a few more features added

Overall this is a really nice app. It’s beautiful, has a modern UI, very easy to use, and has a nice but somewhat limited feature set. Some features that I would really like to see added that would make the app perfect in my opinion would be:Higher priority:- Option to style query bar graph as stacked bar graph colored by client, like the one in the web interface. I like to be able to see which devices were most active throughout the day- Group management, I.e. the ability to whitelist or blacklist certain domains only for certain groups of devices, and to be able to create new groups and edit which devices are in each group- Add and remove adlists from the internet - DHCP management, like assign static IPs, change host names of devices, etcLower priority:- Change other pihole settings, like upstream DNS servers- A command line interface would be pretty cool

Much better than expected

The developer has put in a lot of effort in this app and it shows. For a Pi-hole noob this app makes it so much easier to check what is being blocked and what’s not, making it so much easier to white list or blacklist as needed without needing to boot up my pc and logging into the web interface, granted that doesn’t take too much effort but this app makes it so much easier. The plots of the allowed and blocked queries are great, I like to see how %blocked goes up during weekends vs weekdays and on a workday in the evening vs during the day. Overall, it’s a great app and I recommend it to all Pi-hole owners.

A Must-Have App for Pi-hole Users

It’s hard to believe this app is free. The developer has a tip option as an in-app-purchase and it’s well worth contributing. I never thought about how convenient it would be to manage pi-hole from my phone let alone my watch. This app started with basic features to view status and disable/enable. But, it didn’t stop there. Soon, there were features for viewing statistics, a Watch app, Siri Shortcuts, managing lists, and more. Now, there are iOS 14 widgets. This developer really cranks out features. Can’t wait to see what’s next.

Very Useful App

One of the best purchases I've made. I greatly appreciate the fact that this app is one of the few apps left that is a one time fee and doesn't charge a recurring subscription to unlock "premium" features. It also features a lot of useful ways to easily manage your pihole from essentially any apple device which has become extremley useful when needing to quickly add a url to the whitelist. Overall, this is a really great app that has a fair price for managing your pihole easily.

Indispensable Utility for Pi-hole. Get it now!

I’ve been tinkering around with a Pi-hole setup, and I kept running into issues with using the web interface on mobile (sporadic Bad Request errors I couldn’t crush) so I decided to check the App Store and came across this infinitely useful Pi-hole Remote App. I didn’t even hesitate purchasing it, it’s well worth the asking price. The UI itself is hands down one of the cleanest I have ever experienced for a technical utility app. It’s easy to navigate and all the critical metrics and statistics information is cleanly and clearly presented and organized. It’s a lot more reliable than using the web interface on mobile and tons of customization and configuration options to tweak to your liking. It’s a highly intuitive layout. I have no problems whatsoever supporting indie devs that make quality apps such as this. Keep up the good work, and I look forward to future updates!

Extremely slick!

I don’t really write reviews, I am just not that much of a wordy person… but, I have to quickly say that this app is very, very well put together and its obvious the developer loves what they do! Everything works well and its all around nice and smooth. I have had zero issue getting it hooked up to my couple of Pi-hole instances in various places, in various configurations.I would love to see a general Pi management app as slick as this one put together. Thanks to the developer for the hard work and for this awesome bit of software!
