Ratings and Reviews
See AllIndispensable Utility for Pi-hole. Get it now!
I’ve been tinkering around with a Pi-hole setup, and I kept running into issues with using the web interface on mobile (sporadic Bad Request errors I couldn’t crush) so I decided to check the App Store and came across this infinitely useful Pi-hole Remote App. I didn’t even hesitate purchasing it, it’s well worth the asking price. The UI itself is hands down one of the cleanest I have ever experienced for a technical utility app. It’s easy to navigate and all the critical metrics and statistics information is cleanly and clearly presented and organized. It’s a lot more reliable than using the web interface on mobile and tons of customization and configuration options to tweak to your liking. It’s a highly intuitive layout. I have no problems whatsoever supporting indie devs that make quality apps such as this. Keep up the good work, and I look forward to future updates!

Thank you so much! 🤩
Amazing app, could be excellent
This app is a great way to view and manage your pi-hole. The design choices make everything you need up at the front of the app and it blends in well with iOS. You can view the tail of a particular IP address really easily and the details on each dns request are really helpful, allowing you to easily create blacklists. The widgets are a nice touch. So far, everything I need. There is room for improvement though; this app could be a game-changer. Group management seems to be ignored completely, including adlists. A built in whois lookup or information database about particular domains would be helpful, something similar to Little Snitch. If those changes were made, and a few small app bugs, it would be an excellent app. This is still an amazing app though, and I'm happy I found it; it will be used a lot! Thanks!
Developer Response ,
Thank you for your review! Management of groups and adlists is currently not possible due to limitations of the Pi-hole API I use. They’re working on a new API, I’m hoping that brings support for these things, then I can support it! A whois lookup is a nice suggestion, I’ll look into it. Thanks! Joost
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Must-Have for Pi-hole Users!
This app is an absolute game-changer for anyone running Pi-hole. It makes managing and monitoring my network’s ad-blocking effortless, even when I’m away from home. The interface is clean and intuitive, showing me all the vital stats at a glance.
I love being able to toggle Pi-hole on and off with a single tap—perfect for those moments when you need to temporarily disable blocking. The real-time query logs and detailed insights are super useful for tracking down pesky ads or troubleshooting network issues.
If you’re serious about maintaining control over your network, Pi-hole Remote is a must-have companion app. Worth every penny! Highly recommend!
