Features :
- Player listing and command (Send message, Kick, Ban)

- Full gamelog integration with syntax highlighting
- Custom chat notifications. Enable it in the application settings.
Notes :
- You must have started your server with the "-servergamelog" parameter
- The game log may not work if there is others rcon programms connected to the server.
- To see the player connection time you must edit your server connection and add the query port (27015 by default). This feature doesn't work for players with specials characters in their name.

Doesn't work reliably. I can connect sometimes but most of the time it just hangs there with the connecting to server dialogue. I have all the ports correct and the IP is correct. It tells me how many players there are like it can find the server, but it just won't connect.
Works well over lan but have not been able to make it work from outside the lan. I have port forwarding and the subsequent rules opened in our sonicwall box to allow for rcon ports. I can only assume that it's something to do with NAT translation from the wan IP to the IP of the server on the lan and the app doesn't recognize any traffic not of the host address entered. So, current solution is to SSL tunnel in to the lan and use it that way. Works well after that.
I've been using this app for a bit over a year, give or take. Great for allowing our staff members to moderate our server even if they don't have the game. The only issue I have with this app is that it does not automatically retrieve logs from the server in the Chat/Log window, it only logs chat and events while you have a session going. Otherwise you have to enter the GetGameLog command in the commands tab several times. ARKON on the PC is able to retrieve our server logs, to include activity between sessions.
I can get the first server to show and login fine. Load up second server. RKON sees it fine in server screens, population shows. But refuses to login into rcon and just times out.
Works perfectly for hosted servers! I use host havoc and I can't even express how convenient it is to be able to access the server when I am away from PC. Thank you so much for making this 😄 you are a lifesaver.
Really want this to work but keeps saying server unreachable make sure ip/port is correct which it is. it even shows that 1/10 players are online which is correct because it's me. Don't know what to do to fix this :(
Not ideal, spend 90% of the time unable to connect and 10% actually connected and useful
This is really the only available ark rcon app. it's pretty meh and works most the time.
Can U Make it Compatible With Ps4 Servers It Would Be Super Cool Pls & Thank U
great app been using it for years
Stuck on connecting. It reads the correct player base on all my servers, but it just can't seem to connect to any of them. Keep spinning the "connecting to server" After a while it returns with server ip/ host is unreachable. Please check ip/port These are correct, as I am using rcon on desktop and laptop, where they work fine
So far no issues here, connected to my server instantly, responds to the keywords typed in game, my only issue is I wish it would continue to run in the background or have a notification in the notification bar to let me know it's still running. Other then that great app.
Great tool to keep up with the servers you maintain. Easy for me to keep up with chat, and fire off command's on the go. Like the easy to use interface, but I could use a 'dark' theme if that matters. And that keep screen on, a check box on the chat screen would be handy.
Doesn't Work. Will not connect and gives me an IP error on here like it has others. It can ping my server and retrieve the number of connected players, but not actually connect. I do not have reusable installed on my server, information is properly entered, and the server has been correctly configured to accept RCON. Looks like it's just a shoddy program.
Tells me it's incorrect. Funny thing is, it only lists ports it doesn't even list ip. How is this supposed to work if there's no line to add ip.
Ports and password are correct (and open otherwise players wouldn't get in). Dyndns hostname is correct. Won't find the server I run from home. A shame.
Does a great job to help maintin my At server and run simple commands on the go. Ability to chat with players even when not at home.
This app is hot garbage. It won't connect to anything. It even leaves error toasts on screen after the app is closed. Use something else.
It work great for Ark, having connecting with my Arms 3 server. Maybe not supported
(changed my review according to your reply) Thank you for a great app that is truly a gem. Easy to setup and use, i appreciate your work.
Been using this for months and it's extremely helpful when I need to run a command or check log/chat while I'm on the go.
It will not connect to my server. I have the appropriate IP address and ports configured. I am using utilities plus mod, which has reusable items, but that should not "break" this application from accessing the server. If this gets fixed and I am able to try it out I will re-evaluate.
This app works fine, but you need to be comfortable with networking. I used the private ip for my server and over wifi it worked fine. If you are connecting to a hosted service you must use a valid dns entry and hope all the required ports are open
Cant seem to connect to server. Shows players that are online. but doesnt connect. says inable to find ip adress or connect. Id love to use this app
The idiots below asking for IP, its the host name field. Works perfectly, and the chat notification feature is amazing!
All the sudden I can't connect to the island map. Rag is fine.
It doesnt like my server Hanging on connecting. RCon is enabled server side.
Found my server but then tries to connect then suddenly just stops trying.
Works perfectly with my server, just had to make sure the RCON port was forwarded and it runs very smooth. Rarely will it desync and stop updating the chat, its only happened twice so far, but reconnecting to the server fixes it. Also looking through the other reviews it looks like a lot of people dont have their RCON port forwarded, if you dont forward the port (Default: 32330) it will not let you connect but will still let you see the number of players online.
