## Review summary

User feedback is mostly negative about reliability: location-permission prompts block use, device discovery fails, and compatibility gaps with certain DIR models. When it does work, the app is simple and helpful for managing extenders, but overall usability and stability are poor.

### Pros

- Simple and efficient to use when it connects.
- Useful for managing D-Link extenders and devices.
- Some users describe it as a good/nice app.

### Cons

- Location permissions and location services prompts block use even when enabled.
- Fails to detect/find extenders/devices; cannot connect.
- Not supporting certain DIR models (e.g., DIR-850L, DIR-655) leading to incompatibility.
- Repeated setup failures and reliability issues; requires frequent resets.
- Poor user interface and difficult device management.
