The app is nice, but needs many improvements. I would expect its UI to be in line with router webUI. I would except it to display information in real time, while now you have to force it to refresh it and in a non intuitive way. I would expect it to have dark mode. Last, but not least it’s good they don’t force account upon you to be able to use the app, but I would expect to not have it even as an option.

Can’t login with PIA VPN. The whole point was to use the app to login but it keeps on saying connection error please fix.

I cannot sign into North vpn that says there is a 24 maximum character limit and will not connect to the VPN. Even though I go to my browser and sign and it’s all correct but not apparently on this router. Bricked

2023-07-27 update: They’ve finally added dark mode! While this fixes things for me, the app’s UI remains non-standard (for example, the toggle switches don’t obey the “On/Off Labels” preference), so users with different accessibility needs may still encounter problems. [Previous review: This is the first app I’ve encountered where its bright white UI color scheme couldn’t be fixed by using the Smart Invert per-app accessibility override. Please provide a UI which respects your users’ accessibility needs.]

I have 2 Slate 1800ATX routers and have no issues managing them locally with this app. Never had the need to use the Goodcloud option.

The old app allowed you to manage a local device. The new one is completely useless for a traveling router. Why change something that works for something that does nothing!?

I own many GL products as I think they are fantastic devices (creta, beryl, brume 2) but this app can never connect to them or find them. The old app they have before this one used to work perfectly but this one is no go. I have to do everything through the admin panel which always works.

Rubbish

For all but the simplest use cases this app does not help you connect the router. If there’s a paywall, it never works. However the router’s admin web page always works. It scans the available networks, finds them all, and connects to the one I choose without any drama. The app does none of those things.
