User reviews

It is not compatible with my Android. When I try to connect to the server I have entered, the app crashes and there is no connection. I can't even try again. The problem persists even after a forced stop and restart. I am unable to use it at all. Can't I enter multiple configs at once? Android 13

Install it today on my Android TV. Installation went super easy. More difficult was to import the configuration file because of an issue with TV file browser. There is a small bug, I could not enter the password if I first enter the username. The app is very fast and does what it should!

If you're having authentication issues with your ASUS router, change the compatibility mode to 2.3 and older. I reached out to the developers on my issues and after very quick replies back and forth this was discovered. Support was fast and excellent! This app works perfectly! Many thanks to Arne for the help!
