Ratings and reviews

Very nice. Cold be useful a panel in the app with the preferred device. in my startup screen there are 20+ devices :-) On android 12 if you dont use the app for a while the "dot" became unresponsive . if You touch the "dot" it get back to life after 2/3 seconds

This is definitely the easiest way to remotely control your Raspberry Pi. As a novice Python user, this made what I wanted to achieve so much easier.

I'm using the 10-button version to control the rpy controlling my model train locomotive. It would be nice if I could label the buttons.
