User reviews
MQTTLens is appreciated for its core MQTT debugging capabilities, including connecting to remote brokers and monitoring topics. However, many users report significant issues such as slow performance, UI problems like oversized icons and overlapping text, lack of secure connection support, and instability. Multiple reviews highlight the need for improved features and bug fixes. Overall, while functional for some, the extension has usability and security shortcomings that impact the user experience.
Pros
- Can connect to remote MQTT brokers like cloudMQTT
- Useful utility for subscribing and publishing MQTT topics
- Can monitor different MQTT servers
- Works well with local MQTT brokers such as Mosquitto on Raspberry Pi
Cons
- UI issues with overlapping text and excessively large icons after updates
- Does not support secure connections like wss protocol
- Slow performance with long login/logout latencies
- Lack of features like multiple topic subscription and client ID customization
- Bugs causing instability and frequent failures, with some users unable to use the app at all
Recent reviews
De MQTT topics komen scrolling voorbij, dit gaat voor mijn toepassing veel te snel en is lastig stop zetten / filteren; dan mis je de tree-view zoals bij MQTT explorer. MQTT explorer op Linux / windows is absoluut het beste. Jammer van MQTT lens, op mn CHromebook zou het ook handig zijn als ik snel inzicht in MQTT topic-tree zou kunnen hebben...
