NETGEAR Insight Reviews

Not impressed & it’ll cost ya

Realisttheoriginal

OK Netgear, people actually use their iPad horizontally not vertically. And some actually type either on the screen or with a keyboard and the keyboard is horizontal. OMG if its designed for iPad, at least test it on an actual iPad. Or even an iPhone for that matter. Think horizontal. My second issue is: REALLY? You are going to charge per device? OMG just another way to extract money from your loyal base. The third issue is the extreme labor intensive way to add each device. Seriously there is no option to have it search an existing, functioning network and you simply supply the password for all or each device? Unbelievable. And create another account/password and alternately use Facebook credentials as an alternative? Please think about IT security. On the positive side, the interface is very pretty. The layout from what I saw before I gave up was clear and appeared easy to work with. But I suspect very few will have the time/patience to set this up and then find themselves with another yearly/monthly $ draw from their assets. Netgear makes great products and this app, if fixed, should be FREE as it would encourage more purchases of their products.

Great upgrade

Great upgrade from the last version. Provides much better functionality and more features. Works well

Good luck w/ subscription model

I’m a long time loyal user of Netgear devices. The app found most of my devices and was simple to configure. I will delete this app once the paid subscription goes into place. It’s great to know that Netgear punishes their users if they purchase more than than 2 devices. Time to move on...

Need more work

Basics like device discovery don’t work. Your registered devices are associated with your account, but you can’t select them or copy the SN to add them to your network analysis. More updates please Netgear.

Awesome

Doesn’t work well

Vulgar demos

Here’s what the onboarding experience is like. You try to sign in through Facebook and the Netgear app kicks back an error. So you try to paste in your long password but it won’t even pull up the “paste” menu on double tap. Thus encouraging you to reset password and create a weak one you can memorize and easily type in. So you hit reset password. You get an email that takes you to a reset page. You put in new password and page loads an expired error even though the email is 10 seconds old. Horrible experience.

Has horizontal gone out the window?

I have been finding more apps recently that wont switch to landscape mode. Super annoying!

Pswd mgr UNfriendly

TheSinisterDuck

For some asinine reason, pasting into the password field on login screen is disallowed. This makes using a password manager extremely inconvenient - who wants to type a securely generated password? I find this ‘feature’ incongruent with the point of the app - conveniently and securely managing my network.

Mysterious

Doesn’t seem to be compatible with Netgear products. Just keeps telling me my hardware is already registered to another account. When it’s this account. *update* Netgear said to contact them with my information. They confirmed that my Netgear switch and Netgear Nighthawk router are not compatible with this Netgear app. Thanks?
