Ratings and reviews

I love my Firewalla for house wide control! The app is pretty good, but I wish it had separate control for YouTube shorts and not just YouTube, which would be critical for protecting the minds of our kids! Also, I don't understand the limitation for adding (3) shortcuts to the main screen. Events associated with a Group/User/Device should be available from the their views, I wish I could easily see when the specific device joined or was online last.

An exceptional application for some very exceptional hardware. Firewalla has given me my sanity back. I have the Gold Pro and cannot say enough good things about it. It is very easy to set up and control through the app. You can get as technical as you want or just let it do it's thing. It does a great job without many additional features enabled This is an excellent, well thought out app. 10 stars! Firewalla-Could you add a widget for the app?? Just a brief overview of alarms, speed, etc?

No longer supports firewalla boxes I own. Spent a lot of money getting these, even backing them on Kickstarter/indigogo. Now their solution is to replace them with units that cost $400+
