Pros and cons of NETGEAR Mobile app for iPhone and iPad

NETGEAR Mobile app good for

Absolutely effective and well thought. Could use a more friendly graphic design, even though it does not prevent intuitive use just the way it is.
Loved being able to see the battery meter on my hotspot from the app. Quick to load up too.
Since my monthly bill is based on a flex plan, of which the first 100 MB is where I strive to stay, I find the Monthly Usage and Session Usage numbers are a little hard to read (since they are in GB). Maybe add an option in next release if user wants to be shown MB or GB.
Just for this from Rogers so far only played with it 10 mins and am impressed. GPS doesnt seem to work but will play with it more.
Works well, although slow. Lets me see a numeric signal strength to see how much the external antenna helps.
The device AND the app should show on the first page, with bold and big letters, how much is your MONTHLY USAGE. That is the most important info before anything! Actually the device should not show the password on the first page. Also there is nothing to disable the WPS key. It is easy to press it while it is in your pocket or purse... The device is not able to work computers shared on a hub. Each computer has to connect to the aircard strait thru wifi. That makes it hard to use in home. (Need MAC clonning). If your device is connected to a different wifi, the app will tell you the device is not compatible with this app. The problem is that you are on the wrong wifi, but you will think that the app doesnt work. That is a problem on IOS devices: you never know where you are connected. IOS can change your wifi source on the fly and you wont know it! IOS should show on the top screen which network you are using... This app should show you on which network (name of the gateway) you are. This way you can fix it right way. It should add to that message that "maybe you are on the wrong wifi" and OFFER you a shortcut to wifi settings. Maybe many users that told that the app doesnt work are having this problem. Developers should check if the crashes reported are happening if the IOS change wifi while the app is connected to the aircard...

Some bad moments

I have tried to download this app twice and it just doesnt work!
Takes forever to load...but eventuaaaaaaly gives info. I have the newest iPad with the A6 processor so it should be lightening fast...my Internet connection speed is 20.1Mbpsfrom Speedtest.net.
Works fine on my iPhone but simply does not work on new ipad. Ive installed three times and its still not working, so I give up!
Worked fine when it was Sierra Wireless. Updated to the latest "NetGear" version, now it crashes 80% of the time.
It started working fine but then decided that my hotspot is no longer compatible???
Alas, what was a pretty good app no longer works. Separate from this, even the web app (*.hotspot) is now broken. Thanks Netgear.
