Another bad app
03/08/2022

Their other app always had tons of bugs glitches and issues, now they have this app which apparently is the only way to from now on view what devices are currently connected. They took away that feature from their other app and put it in this one. It makes no sense, why do I need two apps now? This one is even worse with glitches and bugs than their other one. Why take away a feature from one app and put it in another? So frustrating, but that is the feeling that sums up their internet service itself so i shouldn’t of expected much more from their apps.

Major omission

Nice idea, but only shows a limited 7 day snapshot of percentages of total usage. It does not show actual amount or any finer granularity. The unforgivable flaw is that it seems to miss some major device usage. I had a apparent runaway device which a Viasat support person was able to provide minimal info about - and it doesn’t show at all in this app. Useless if you are looking for broken or unauthorized access.

If you leave the house with your phone and return you obtain a new IP address. Which therefore shows up as an unknown device. So if the point of the app is to help understand which device is using what amount of data. You can not get true facts. If I had a choice to get off Vista internet service. I would do so so fast the door should hit them in the face.

Don’t bother.

This app is surprisingly bad. It will list the devices connected to your router, but it wants you to subscribe and pay a monthly fee in order to control those devices. My router has been off for over an hour, but according to the app, there are two devices currently using it. And yes, I have refreshed the app multiple times. Just say no.
