User Reviews

Prowl is widely valued for reliability, ease of use, and strong automation support. Reviewers repeatedly note that the app “just works,” with quick push notifications and simple setup for Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and home‑automation scripts, and that it’s been maintained for many years. However, there are recurring concerns about its aging UI and uncertain future, with multiple comments calling it abandoned or in need of updates. Users also cite the API’s complexity and a desire for modern features (dark mode, more sounds, images in alerts, better iPhone X support).

Pros

Reliable and stable; it just works across years without failures.
Very easy to set up and use, especially with scripts and hardware (Raspberry Pi, Arduino).
Indispensable for home automation and monitoring; supports alerts from multiple sources.
Fast, timely push notifications with good delivery performance.
Long-standing tool with ongoing maintenance and broad adoption.

Cons

Outdated UI and lack of updates; concerns about abandonment and future viability.
API is complex and often requires external server or API key management, not beginner-friendly.
Missing modern features (dark mode, additional sounds, image support in alerts) and incomplete device support (e.g., iPhone X/Watch app).
Occasional UI glitches and reliability quirks when opening alerts or refreshing lists.

Recent reviews

10 years(!!!!!!!) since the last update and Prowl is still dependable! My only wishlist item would be customizable icons honestly, none of Prowl’s other UI holdovers from yesteryear bother me at all. Reassuring to know this app will never have “Liquid Glass”. But choice of icons would be a great add!
