## Review summary

User reviews praise the app for basic setup and quick device visibility, but consistently criticize its limited in-app management, reliability problems, and firmware/admin issues. Privacy/upsell concerns and a slow, buggy experience are common. Most issues stem from needing the web app for full control, with stability and modern UI/UX improvements frequently requested.

### Pros

- Basic setup and monitoring capabilities (view devices and network status)
- Quick visibility into which Orbi unit is active and overall network health
- Basic device management and security-related controls available in the app

### Cons

- Limited in-app functionality; many detailed/advanced options require the web app
- Reliability and connectivity instability (outages, devices showing offline, slow handoffs)
- Firmware/admin issues (updates can corrupt the admin interface, login problems, some support is paid)
- Privacy/upsell concerns (privacy policy issues, location data requests, frequent upgrade prompts)
- Overall UX/Performance drawbacks (slow, buggy, lacks features like in-app speed/mesh tests)
