User Reviews

Reviewers show mixed feelings: many describe the app as good or awesome, with some praising security and power-user features. However, recurring complaints center on uninstall difficulties, battery drain, and pricing/device limits. Security/privacy concerns are frequent, including HTTP/S issues and a noted vulnerability, plus privacy worries about camera use. UI/setup frictions also appear. Overall, the app is seen as useful but plagued by reliability, security, and cost concerns that recur across multiple reviews.

Pros

Frequent positive sentiment: reviewers repeatedly call the app good/awesome/great/nice.
Some users perceive the app as secure or having security-related strengths.
Power users value features like command line access for advanced use.
Users occasionally use the app for admin panel tasks, indicating utility in administrative contexts.

Cons

Uninstall/removal can be blocked or very difficult, with multiple reports of uninstall issues.
Significant battery drain and high background power usage cited by several users.
Pricing and device limits are a barrier (not free, API costs, limits on number of devices).
Security/privacy concerns are recurrent (HTTP instead of HTTPS in some critiques, a cited security flaw, and privacy worries like camera use).
UI/UX and setup frictions (prompts/UI elements obscured by Android UI, linking issues) are mentioned by multiple users.
