User Reviews for SimplePi for Raspberry Pi

False subscription Information

In the app it shows that there’s a one week free trial. I’ve used it less than an hour and all I get is the pop up saying to subscribe whenever I try to connect.

Unsure if there’s any functionality here other than ssh client

None of the monitoring works , and there’s no instructions if third party scripts need to be installed on the Pi to enable the monitoring to work. Plus I had to pay to discover this lack of functionality. My fault for stepping out of FOSSTo add insult to injury there’s a ton of tracking hacked into this for the devs benefit. Greedy.

Subscription Model

I used the app once, and it seemed decent. I came back a while later, and it’s requiring me to pay a subscription fee to do anything. If it were a flat amount, I might be willing to pay it. However, this new SaaS (Software as a Service) trend is absurd. I wouldn’t have even bothered to download the program if I’d noticed it was *strictly* a subscription-based app.This program isn’t a service. If the creator goes out of business and/or ceases to exist, there’s no reason that this program couldn’t keep functioning exactly as-is until whatever framework it’s written against is no longer supported by Apple.Don’t try to sell your program on a subscription model unless you have regular expenses involved in keeping a non-updated program functional. Don’t do it unless you’re actually offering a service.

Superb design and functionality for a utility app

It’s been refreshing to use SimplePi to remotely manage my Raspberry server.Coming from ocassional GUI-based Linux to server monitoring via command line was rocky for me.This app has really made it so easy for me to automate and organize those periodic checks and commands, and launch them directly from my mobile. I have a lot less needs to connect via desktop.The visual design, organization, and cleanness of the app makes it very appealing and it shows the developer cares about much more than base functionality.In this category of niche utilities this app stands out. Responsive support too!

Easy and useful

This app Easy and useful. It took me seconds to connect my Raspberry Pi. I found it good that the developer responds to reviews. I got a bit concerned about privacy after I read a review. I am taking a deep look to the privacy policy. Anyway, I do not keep sensitive information innmy Raspberry Pi, so I should be good.

Can’t even get in.

So I’ve typed in my IP and all the other info and it says invalid or couldn’t reach given IP address. I’ve checked multiple times, I don’t have a VPN or any sort of good protection turned on, and I’ve also checked my IP multiple times and it just doesn’t let me in. I can’t connect to my Rasberry Pi 3B+.🤬🤬

Good app but unclear how to do certain things

After about half an hour of trying, I can’t figure out how to remove a command I added from the list, and more importantly I can’t see any option at all for how to view the results log.Tapping on the command in the list runs it and you get a green check mark but then i can’t look up the results unless the command was created using the show results on completion option.

Amazing!

I don’t usually leave reviews but this app has made my life a lot easier, it’s a must have for any pi home server owners, its 5$ per year but honestly it’s worth it to support the developer ,beats having ads

Less tracking, more securing our keys please

Okay, I see you hacked together a few google trackers into the app to get every click and launch of your app. You will certainly have a lot of data to analyse and resell if you are GDPR compliant. However, in this days, I don't think this would come as a must for a Linux user. But storing ssh private keys in an unencrypted database? Please! There are specific areas iOS offers you to store this securely, like the keychain?
