Networking is black magic and someways, so this is a very difficult task for the developer. In all fairness, I am not a network professional, which appears to be the demographic ubiquiti is catering to, but there is an expectation when you put some thing out on the Apple store, that it will be easy for your typical consumer to use. I also feel like the screenshots for the app tend to appear very useful, for example monitoring specific traffic to social media sites, but in truth there is very limited access to this type of information through the app. Much of the functionality is hidden under layers and layers of options, which is a undesirable thing when you have a mobile device as your user interface. Likewise, something simple like adding your DNS servers (say openDNS) is not easy or intuitive. I had to go back to the desktop PC and web interface to made the new hardware adding process work. Things that should be easy like searching for new access points or switches worked zero percent of the time. However, the appeal has exceeded the actual usefulness for me. Generally this app has a large degree of functionally regarding setup and control of your UniFi hardware. It sees ALL devices, ip addresses, traffic, and all from my phone.

Perfect addition to my AmpliFi Alien Router, Ubiquity Pro Access Point, and Ubiquity PoE 24 Pro managed switch. Once all devices adopted and completed, went back into Windows Network App and then you can "forget" the devices. Waited until restore was completely finished running. Made sure it restored the settings correctly using the backup. Then Migrate Wizard on the Network App on laptop. Saved a backup of settings only, using my laptop UniFi Network App. Then made sure I had the latest versions of firmwares and softwares installed on laptop, access point, switch, everything. Installed UniFi Network App on my iPhone.

Took just a couple minutes to update the cloud key, apps, firmware.

Installed the Cloud key accessory rackmount. Migrated from Windows 11 laptop hosting the Network App, to using Cloud Key Gen2 Plus.
