Namecheap app good for
This app is amazing! So is their Domain Prices too!! This makes my Domain Handling A breeze!
If youre a Namecheap customer, this is the app you need. The old version was a tad clunky, but version 2.0 is fantastic. Intuitive, easy to use and powerful. Great job!
It fully works now ( full list of domain portfolio, worked with > 300 domains ), seems smoother. great job.
The app is super easy to use and is great for on-the-go changes to the domains. The prices are competitive and they have a great support. Simply unbeatable.
Its really nice to be able to very quickly see the expiration/renew dates of all my domains at a glance. Sure, there are email reminders and the website, but this is much more convenient for me.
Orientation:
----------------------------
A landscape orientation is needed.
I always use my iPad in landscape, especially due to my keyboard case, and it is annoying to have to use the app in portrait mode.
More Information
----------------------------
The status/values of more parameters, which would only need be read-only display.
Most important is the ability to monitor/review additional settings, and simply using the website for modifications.
Examples of "more parameters":
Things such as (but *not* limited to) the multiple Whois entries (registrant, admin, technical, billing), renewal/auto-renewal of whoisguard as well as things like how often to change the whoisguard email address (can edit this by toggling whoisguard, but not see its *current* value), mail redirection, SSL, and so on.
Final Thoughts
----------------------------
I find this app helpful already, but would like to see more details.
I see the greatest potential of this app as being a monitoring (i.e. read-only) tool of all the settings/status of my domains/services. Being able to edit all those additional settings is not very important (to me), but the ability to monitor/review them is important. If something needs changing, I can visit the site.
Namecheap is where you go to get domains. This app lets you search and buy. Thats it. No bull.
Some bad moments
In my domains list, whatever the domain I want to check, it says an error occured therefore I cant manage my domains.
Also, when I pressed the + button to put a domain in my cart, nothing but a grayed screen happened. So I cant even buy a domain.
I cant do anything aside from checking domain availability.
Cant really do anything with the app and doesnt support Namecheap hosting accounts only your domains you have with them.
I enabled 2 step authentication on my Namecheap account, and their own app doesn’t support it. Doesn’t let me move beyond the first screen. Disappointed.
Im still unable to log into the app since I have two-factor authentication enabled on my account. This was not resolved by the latest version.
Would have been the best domain register on the app store if you could add credit via itunes not credit card.
(Why is this on the app store if you cannot register domains through the app store?)
This app looks pretty but always just crashes. And the prices are crazy. The site was $51 on the app. Went to the website to do the transaction and it was $83. Same everything.
Makes me worried about the quality of service afterwards...
