## Review summary

Users praise strong Wi‑Fi management features, diagnostics, and an easy, updated interface that helps optimize router placement. However many reviewers report major reliability problems: the app often won’t start or connect to routers, asks for many permissions, and has device/region compatibility issues. These positives are overshadowed by repeated functionality failures.

### Pros

- Comprehensive Wi‑Fi management (view connected devices, block and throttle)
- Built‑in diagnostics and network tools to identify signal/issues
- Helps optimize router placement and resolve in‑home disconnections
- Generally reported as user‑friendly and feature‑rich after update

### Cons

- Frequently reported as not working — app stalls on start, stays on home screen, or fails to open
- Often cannot connect to the router or complete login/operations
- Requests excessive permissions according to multiple users
- Compatibility/reliability issues on some devices or regions (e.g., Huawei, others)
