User Reviews

Reviews praise SimplePi for quick setup, a clean UI, and mobile-based automation, plus responsive support and reasonable pricing. However, recurring issues include a paywall blocking core use, reliability and connectivity problems, missing or non-working monitoring/log features, and UX flaws (raspi-config access, command removal). Privacy concerns are also raised by some users. Overall, strong concept with notable pricing, stability, and feature-completeness hurdles.
Pros
  • Fast initial connection to Raspberry Pi
  • Polished UI design and clear organization
  • Helps automate and organize periodic checks and commands from mobile
  • Responsive developer support
  • Reasonable price/value and ad-free experience
Cons
  • Subscription model gates core functionality and requires ongoing payment
  • Reliability issues; app often doesn’t work or only works once
  • Connection stability problems; often cannot stay connected or IP issues
  • Monitoring/logging features missing or non-functional; lack of instructions
  • UI/UX limitations such as Raspi-config navigation issues and difficulty removing commands

You can’t even connect to verify that it works without buying a subscription. Not with a password and not with ssh. So I don’t know if it works, and I’m not willing to gamble $4.99 to find out. Only because I’ve been burned so many times by iPhone apps.

I got the app just to mess with my raspberry pi and it worked one day and then the next it would not let me do anything without paying so terrible app

This pay model implies active development and constant new features which this app does not receive.
