2 TopicsWARNING! GENIE APP MAY DAMAGE YOUR IPHONE! (and Mac ?)
Genie is a disaster! It has been updated now on iOS several times since I installed it on my iPhone and it seams it has gone from acceptable to unbelievable bad. The Genie app on my MacBook Pro is also the weirdest app that you can imaging! On my iPhone 6s with 64GB running 9.3.1 the app prevents my phone from going into standby and creating an extremely HOT phone! What kind of Guiding Light has written that app!!! It can seriously harm your phone! I am really angry about this kind of weird crapp! On my Macbook Pro it is most likely the same. The (cr) app has a huge impact on energy consumption and it sets your CPU in overdrive! I did not check how HOT my CPU got on my MacBook but Netgear should Get rid of this kind of complete obsolete apps! I think everybody that uses these 2 apps should be aware of the damage that it can cause simply by overheating your device! Delete it! Destroy it! Get Rid of it!4.3KViews0likes2CommentsR7500v2 Using the Netgear app on iMac
I am happy with my Netgear dual Freq router. I live in a community that built its own Internet access for residents. 1GB. I get about 970MB down and 980 UP. My qyuestion is about the Netgear app that I can use to monitor the router, change setting, i.e. manage it remotely. I am using it on a cable connected ethernet connection to my router, and the app comes up when I reboot. I really don't need it in the background and whenever I try to exit the app gracefully by clicking on the icon on the upper bar, and selecting exit. It brings up a screen that asks if I really want to exit. I click YES. It never goes away. I finally have to "FORCE QUIT" to remove it. Anyone else know a better way? iMac running OS X El Capitan 10.11.6.Solved3.9KViews0likes2Comments
