(Rating count:
808)Review summary
Users praise the app's clean UI and basic VM management capabilities, along with its contribution to the open-source community. However, recurring issues include unreliable fingerprint authentication, forced auto-logout affecting usability, limited feature set lacking advanced VM controls, connection problems due to enforced default ports incompatible with reverse proxies, and poor console support without integrated Spice or noVNC clients.
Pros
- Clean and well-designed user interface that is fluent and informative.
- Good for basic VM and node tasks such as starting, stopping, and viewing metrics.
- Offers integrated password manager access for user convenience.
- Free and appreciated contribution to the open-source community.
- Good responsiveness and overall solid functionality for monitoring purposes.
Cons
- Fingerprint authentication often fails and cannot be disabled, causing user frustration.
- App does not remain logged in; auto logout especially with MFA leads to inconvenience and potential account lockouts.
- Limited functionality: lacks features like creating VMs or containers, editing VM hardware, uploading templates, or canceling running tasks.
- Connection issues due to enforced default port 8006 make app incompatible with setups behind reverse proxies.
- Console connection is problematic; missing integrated Spice or noVNC client leads to poor remote console experience.

| 2025-01-28 |  | | Shows promise, but it's a bit minimal at the current time. Also suffers from an endless stream of "Error: Null check operator used on a null value" (averaging more than 1 per second when interacting with the GUI), I think when one of the hosts is down in a cluster (which unfortunately for me, pretty much the only time I want to interact with my PVE cluster from a device as unpowerful as a phone). |
| 2024-11-30 |  | | For the most part it works, when its not pushing a null check operator notification and pausing everything you do, when it suddenly decides that finger print authorization doesn't work. |
| 2024-10-05 |  | | Woks GREAT! Just follow the instructions (disable the verify SSL cert, make sure you pick Linux or whatever domain for your login, and make sure you're on wifi). Promise is awesome and offering this entirely for free is even more awesome. What you guys do for the FOSS community is INCREDIBLE. Thank you so much and even better, thank you so much for a QUALITY Android app! |
| 2024-09-25 |  | | It's strange to not see the devs responding to these reviews with answers. This app works great for me. There's people saying they can't log in and the finger print auth doesn't work but I haven't encountered these problems. My only gripe is that you can't zoom in using the remote desktop novnc app (vm console mode). Maybe this could be addressed in a future update but it would be very helpful. |
| 2024-07-02 |  | | This app straight up doesn't work. I tried logging into my proxmox both with and without SSL validation turned on and it still just times out when trying to connect. Don't get this app until they fix it. |
| 2024-05-01 |  | | When session expires and I open the app, it will try to log in multiple times. With AD realm that means AD will often lock my user for a couple of minutes because of a lot of login attempts. This is very very annoying. Also more functionalist would be nice. Like edit VM hardware or cancel running tasks (for example task to shutdown VM that has frozen, I'd like to cancel this task and issue hard power off). |
| 2024-03-06 |  | | Good app, BUT the fingerprint authentication does not work and it unfortunately NOT possible to switch off the the fingerprint authentication. So every time I use the app I have to use fingerprint authentication and it fails. After that, login with the saved password works. So eitherxfix it or at least make an option in the settings where I can disable the fingerprint... |
| 2023-12-25 |  | | Not a bad app but don't expect a lot from it. You can start, stop and view basic metrics and thats it. No creating containers or VMs. No uploading or downloading ISO or templates or anything really useful. Og yeah if you get the SSL errors just turn if enforce SSL in apps. |
| 2023-11-29 |  | | Kindly add a Node shutdown option. The console from node view is not accessible through the app. Nice UI and very much responsive. Really liked the design. Thankyou for integrated password manager access, that's really a pain in web console. |
| 2023-08-25 |  | | 401: authentication failure The app keeps receiving this error when i'm connecting to my proxmox host machine. I'm able to log in after skipping this error but overall is very annoying. Edit: After the new update the 401 error is gone. Changing back to 5 stars. |
