## Review summary

Overall, reviews show CommandIQ Android is unreliable. A dominant issue is the recurring delay error that prevents viewing or controlling the router. Users report inconsistent behavior, frequent freezes, lag, and timeouts, making essential tasks like pausing devices or viewing connected devices unreliable. Some accounts mention login or data loss after updates. A few users note brief periods of stability or the ability to perform basic tasks (e.g., changing Wi-Fi password) when the app happens to work, but the general consensus is that reliability and usability are poor.

### Pros

- When the app functions, it provides standard router management features such as pausing/unpausing devices, viewing connected devices, and changing the Wi-Fi password.
- Some users report no issues for a short period (about three weeks), indicating brief stability.

### Cons

- There is a persistent delay error that blocks usage and shows Please try again repeatedly.
- The app is inconsistent and glitchy, with freezing, lag, and timeouts.
- Pausing and unpausing devices often fails or behaves unpredictably.
- The app sometimes cannot reliably show or manage devices or change settings.
- Updates can lock the app out or cause data loss, breaking access to configurations.
