Please update the web experience to a responsive one. The current web view is unbearable.

Plus one for all those request.

 

Not being able to access unraid from mobile/tablet in 2023 is a bit of shame for limetech

I use an iPad Pro daily without issues.

 

 

The request was for a mobile-friendly UI.

The confirmation of ability to use the current UI on a single device does not answer the request in any way.

It partially was!   The GUI seems to run fine on most tablets - it is only when one gets to the phone type form factors that there are issues.

 

To be honest I am not sure that phone form factors will ever be supported as I feel the amount of work to redo the GUI to be fully responsive is likely to be extremely daunting and likely to demand more resources than Limetech have available.

I hear you, and I kind of agree to be honest; I don't see a phone as a common interface for the unRAID UI.

 

I was more making a point that the "It works fine for me" type responses from a prominent community member/unRAID developer don't generally sit well with people (as I'm sure you guessed)

Even on my iPad and Android tablet I have to tap menu items 5-6 times for it to register. Same holds true on my iPhone. It really can’t be that much work for a real web developer.

Going to have to disagree on this point. 7" and 8" tablets with <= 1080p resolutions are painful to navigate the gui on.

any chance of a mobile friendly ui being implemented? Current experience on mobile is terrible

I am a huge fan of this idea.

 

Also an official app would be very very nice, so i can check the status of my server easily from everywhere on my mobilephone.

Please provide an API to allow me to do this app that would request it ;-)

I signed up for a forum account specifically to vote on this idea.

I maintain my home server most of the time on my cell phone, via a web browser + an SSH client app.

I know, this thread is really old. I'm currently working with an Xiaomi Android Tablet Pad5. It's nearly impossible to work with the new Notification icon on the right. These three steps to get to the individual notifications always ends in deleting all notifications here. It's to small, to fast flickering and to many steps. On a desktop this is no problem. But on my tablet it's a pain. Perhaps I'm to old but IMHO this is no good user experience. I can't reach the individual notifications on my tablet any longer.

 

So I stopped using the tablet for the Unraid GUI during vacations because it's useless. I wait til I'm back home 14 days later and use the desktop then.

 

Just my 0.02 Cent.

+1 from me!

+1

+1 - that would be great!

Sounds like something you'd be able to expect on a paid OS accessed mainly through Web UI in 2024.

 

Of course, I prefer to work on my unRAID instance on my tablet with a high-res screen, but it's my phone that I have on me at all times and I OFTEN need to work on unRAID from it.

 

Maybe a neat thing to add for unRAID 7 or one of its dot releases?

+1 for responsive UI. Just tried adjusting display font size on my phone to "Huge", makes no difference. I use the web ui on my phone all the time but just need to scroll in lots. It works okay, but having a responsive web UI would be really sweet. 

Hello
 

It’s still a shame that in 2024 it will still not be possible to have a correct display on a smartphone.

 

While FREE competitors, Truenas or openmediavault, do it natively.

+1 for modern design the current desktop UI is dated in look and not efficiently organized but also needs to be responsive

Also testing now, it's certainly an improvement!

Yep, that is awesome! Works fantastic on the dashboard page. Does it work on other pages as well (main, shares, etc)? Just wondering if I am missing something? I love it though, makes viewing the dashboard a whole new experience!
