## Review summary

IoT Manager is praised for its versatility and effectiveness in managing IoT devices and home automation, especially with example devices and clouds. However, multiple users report significant connectivity issues with MQTT brokers and frustrations with the auto-connect feature causing infinite retries. The app has a steep learning curve lacking user-friendliness and missing certain widgets like an RGB color picker. Recent updates have improved performance but users still request better UI features and smaller app size for budget devices.

### Pros

- Good for testing IoT devices and managing them remotely.
- Powerful and versatile app with wide range of options for home automation.
- Positive reviews highlight it as one of the best apps for IoT management.
- Works well with provided example devices like ESP8266 and some recommended cloud services.
- Recent updates have improved speed and overall usability.

### Cons

- App has connectivity issues with MQTT brokers, often failing to connect or disconnecting unexpectedly.
- Auto-connect feature causes infinite connection attempts if server setup is incomplete, leading to unresponsiveness.
- Not very user-friendly, especially for beginners without MQTT knowledge; setup can be confusing.
- Limited widget options like missing RGB color picker and drag & drop UI editing capabilities.
- App size is large, causing problems on low-storage budget smartphones.
