Ratings and reviews

Freezes a lot. To a point where a re-install of the app needs to happen all the time. Parental controls are unusable. (So not sure what additional charges would bring to the table if app is unresponsive). Also, while on a network, it will take a very long time to display devises. And in most cases Shows wrong device names and wrong pictures of them. a lot of times even though I'm connected to wifi it's telling me I'm not. when clearly I'm online. I've been trying to do this for past 2 hrs

Very poor app as loads of information is wrong, or unreliable. To name a few: Network admin tells me Velop4 is offline, but device list shows 5 things connected to it with good signals. It's definitely online. My wife's OnePlus 6T is displayed as a Samsung Galaxy! Fing displays it correctly, why can't Linksys. My OnePlus 9Pro shows as connected via WiFi 5G AND via LAN! I name some devices once identified, but later those names disappear. Very poor 😥

The Linksys home mesh WiFi system is fantastic, but unfortunately this app is very flakey and usually won't connect. I'm using a local password only (no cloud account), I can often get the app to connect to my router once, but then I need to force stop and clear all app data for a chance the app will connect to the router again. I can reliably access the web portal directly, but some features are available in the app only.
