User Reviews

Users appreciate huaCtrl for enabling band locking and improving Huawei router performance, features lacking in default Huawei software. The app helps optimize connections by choosing better frequency bands and towers. However, many are frustrated by the removal of key features from the free version, forcing paid upgrades, which are often seen as overpriced. Usability issues like unclear login feedback and bugs reduce reliability. Additionally, users report poor developer communication and lack of support. Despite these cons, the app remains valuable for managing Huawei router bands and improving connectivity.

Pros

Effectively allows users to lock frequency bands to optimize Huawei router performance.
Works well in helping users find better signal strength and improve internet speed by selecting better bands.
Provides functionality not available in the standard Huawei interface, such as band locking and SMS viewing in pro version.
User interface improvements in the pro version make it nicer and more user-friendly.
Helps users address issues of slow connections by switching to better towers or bands.

Cons

Removal of critical free version features like band locking frustrates users and forces payment for basic functions.
High cost of the pro version, considered overpriced by many users, especially when features were removed from free version.
Interface issues such as lack of clear login status and no feedback after saving settings lead to user confusion.
Bug issues like restart button not working reliably and inability to switch to certain bands, such as Band 32, are reported.
Poor developer communication and support, with some users feeling ignored or treated rudely after complaints.

Recent reviews

Difficult UI. There is no "log in" button, it just has save. And then no status, you have to imply the login has worked from whether you get signal bars or not. What about a simple "login status" dev? How about an "unsuccessful" response after tapping save? Otherwise we are left guessing. There is no user manual in the free version, I had to buy the pro version just to get the help manual. Very amateur interface. Perhaps dev can now afford professional UX dev with the high fees.

Huawei b535_232. Been using the free apt for months and it worked flawless until a few days ago. No live data or signal strength being shown. So I upgraded to the pro app. Exactly the same. It connects fine and I'm able to restart the router from the app. But no live data means this is useless. Be keen to hear if anyone else has the same issues. I'm on the three network. 5 stars as it did work. But now its broken. I've posted this on another site with no response. So now a 2 star.
