## Review summary

Users find Shiner better than ShineTools for monitoring and consider it intuitive, but it remains limited to monitoring with weak in-app configuration. Repeated issues include login/migration problems and stability bugs. Most users rely on the web portal for configuration, viewing the app as a status tool. Key improvements needed: reliable account setup, full in-app configurability, and bug fixes for better stability.

### Pros

- More intuitive than ShineTools; easier to commission and monitor.
- Provides a clear monitoring/status view of the system.
- Allows some in-app control (e.g., changing the Control Mode) despite limited settings.
- App is acceptable for monitoring while full configuration is done via the Shiner website.

### Cons

- Significant limitations in configurability; many settings and diagnostics available on the website but not in the app.
- Login/setup problems: inability to receive verification codes by email, migration/account issues.
- Stability and reliability issues: freezing/crashing/bugs that persist across versions.
- Some features (e.g., grid view, full navigation options) are missing or not visible in the app.
- Overall sentiment: app is workable for monitoring but far from feature-complete; perceived as a step back from the old app.
