## Description

CBW Mobile is a simple, reliable way to remotely access your ControlByWeb™ products from anywhere in the world. This app lets you create customized control panels to manage a single device or seamlessly integrate multiple devices on one page. 

ControlByWeb products are Ethernet I/O devices with relays and inputs that can be used to remotely control and monitor electrical devices and sensors.  When properly installed and combined with the right components*, ControlByWeb products can be used to remotely reboot computers, control gates, lights, motors, pumps, door locks, or just about any electrical device.  They can monitor temperature, position, water level, flow, power, doors, motion, and much more.  All of our products have built-in web servers, so your phone or computer communicates directly with the device and not with a server somewhere else.  There are no drivers to install, no batteries to change, and no monthly subscription.

App Features:

Instant access to all of your ControlByWeb devices.
Custom buttons, labels, etc. for each device and its components (relays, inputs, sensors, etc.).

Custom control panels.

Shortcuts for accessibility.

Quick access to the device's control page, setup page, events, and logs.

App-Locking to prevent use from unauthorized users.

Settings-Lock to prevent unauthorized changes to the control panels.

Tutorial with a simple walk-through to get you started.

* Installation of ControlByWeb products requires a basic knowledge of electronics and computer networking. In some cases, a Systems Integrator or licensed Electrician may be required.  Many applications require additional components such as sensors or electrical devices.

## Review summary

CBW Mobile is praised for a clean UI and easy, customizable setup with solid performance and strong support for remote CBW device use. However, users report crashes, uneven device compatibility, and no in-app notifications (only email), which are the main recurring drawbacks.

### Pros

- Intuitive setup and a clean, customizable control panel.
- Overall reliable performance and smooth operation, often faster than the web interface.
- Clear, user-friendly UI with a nice interface.
- Excellent for remote control of doors/gates and other CBW devices.
- Supports cross-device use (works on iPad and can be used from computer and mobile apps).

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and instability (crashes when adding a device; persistent crashes in some cases).
- Inconsistent device support across CBW devices; some devices flaky or unsupported.
- Lacks in-app push notifications; only email alerts are available.
