★★★★★Hazrul Nizam Sidek· Apr 17, 2023
This is the best in UI/UX lightning node management app I have tried. I am glad the developer decided to continue development by taking it out of the Zap brand.

Works very well with the Lightning app on Umbrel
★★★★★Reichard Könige· Apr 26, 2026
I was struggling with Zeus working consistently and displaying my core lightning node info accurately. This app however just works. Displayed all node info accurately as well. Also, no struggles with routing failures caused by fee limits. It makes core lightning node use easy.

Maybe coders and software engineers can set this up for themselves, but I tried and too complicated for most people. A lot of commands for what software that GitHub lists in all files instead of the program itself with more subsections to top that. Tried binaries but that makes no sense, more commands to run on what program????? You see, without prior experience with setting up nodes or a computer science degree, people won't make sense of this mess. Not worth the headache.
