LOCK SCREEN WIDGETS
View your Pi-hole statistics right from your Lock Screen or just add a small Lock Screen widget as a shortcut to quickly open the app. Requires iOS 16.
REDESIGNED STATISTICS
The Statistics-tab got a makeover with a new stacked bar chart, improved system info, quicker access to top-entries, and more. The other charts also got a new lick of paint and are now more 'Apple-like'. Requires iOS 16.
CPU/RAM/TEMP METRICS
The latest Pi-hole update changes how the web interface login works, which broke the metrics display inside the app. Luckily I've found a workaround, but it requires your Web Interface *password*.

BLOCKED SERVICES
One new service 'Bilibili' and some services have improved lists.

I've improved many UI elements throughout the app for iOS 16. You'll find new pickers and icons, as well as improved keyboard-dismiss behaviour and more.

v2.11 is here and it's huge! The update brings a major new feature 'Hide Domains', localisation into eight languages, two new widgets, two new pride app icons, and design improvements! I dare you to read this entire changelog ;-)
*New Languages*
Pi-hole Remote now speaks 8 languages! Alongside English, you can now use the app in Dutch, French, Greek, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish, and Ukrainian. If you rather use the app in English, you can change the language in Settings > Other.
A massive thanks to everyone who translated the app, I love you! Do you also want to help translating the app in a new language? Hit me up on Twitter :-)
*Hide Domains*
You can now specify (parts of) domains that should be excluded in the 'Top' statistics. This is especially useful for all those 'lb._dns-sd._udp' queries that many (Apple) devices generate. You can add a domain by right clicking a domain in a top list, or by going to Settings > Statistics.
*Two New Widgets*
I've added two new widgets with even more buttons to disable blocking, with customisable presets. Ideal for less tech savvy friends/family who just want four big buttons to tap when they really want to see ads. The large widget also shows unique clients & unique domains! Supporting multiple instances in a single widget is next on my wishlist.
*Pride App Icons*
You can find two new Pride-themed app icons in Settings > Design. Alongside this, the design settings screen is slightly more condensed and the app icon selection was moved to a separate view.
*UI Improvements*
The 'status' label of queries has moved up and some text has been made slightly smaller, to make the Query Log slightly more roomy. This means you can see more queries at once and more glanceable. Furthermore, alerts and sheets inside the app will now use your app tint and some settings screens have a slightly improved UI.
And there we go! Just in time for WWDC, lets see what cool new features the app can support later this year ;-)
Thanks again for your overwhelming support. Your nice reviews and kind words make my day, every day.
