This App could be good, but isn’t yet ready for Prime Time.
Firstly, it asks for the router password, which is understandable, but it isn’t clear whether it’s phoning home with that password (as it apparently offers a cloud service for syncing passwords). So i have a trust issue with this App.
[Note: Apple offers free iCloud syncing for app developers, so at the very least, they should be using (or at least offer) iCloud rather than “GoodCloud.”]
Secondly, while it’ll run on an iPad, it’s not designed with iPads in mind. Granted, it doesn’t purport to be an iPad app (only an iPhone app), but it would be so much more useful if it played nicely with iPads… and operated in landscape orientation!
Perhaps they figure that using the web interface on a larger screen eliminates the need for this app on an iPad? Might be. But i think this app could be very nice to have on an iPad, if for no other reason than to monitor router status, etc.
And wouldn’t it be nice if it had a Widget for the Home Screen, showing Network Connection and VPN status?
It would be useful if the app — and the Widget — had a red dot indicator, if a firmware update was available.
I can understand them not offering a Luci interface in the app, but at the very least, they should offer a web link to the Luci interface, so it’s a one-click operation to open in Safari.
Finally, how about a few more screenshots on the app’s page in the App Store?

When the app is set to Chinese, the VPN menu does not appear.
This app claims that it does not collect user data, but based on my experience, it definitely collects user data and reports it to China’s Great Firewall system. If you configure a VPN through the app while in China, it usually won’t last more than 72 hours before the Great Firewall blocks the corresponding port.

In the old app if you were connected to a device with no internet access the app gave an option to manage a local device so you could configure the internet. This app does not give that option making it pretty useless for a travelling router.
