Underwhelming

Difficult to read dials, but always used to connect. Now doesn’t! Battery is visible and starts flashing as soon as open app, but nothing shows in app

Does what it should do.

If you want to know the general state of the battery, it works fine, providing all the information needed. It connects to the battery instantly, lets me know if the battery is charging, the level of charge remaining etc. etc.
I don't need a work of art, just info on my leisure battery, this app provides it. Excellent.

Poor

The scale of the dials is ridiculous and why not show digital number read outs instead?

LIFOs App

Shows state of charge ok. Really can’t understand why gauges have such high numbers for voltage, wattage and amps. Battery charges at 14.4, so why are we seeing 64 with max charge rate being near the red zone. Who needs to know up to 6000 watts? Can’t imaging using 200amps, without seriously discharging. Surely amending these gages would make the app more user friendly!

Ok

The app connects to the battery no problem every time and the dials do what they should.

The only thing that doesn’t work, which resulted in a four star review, is the battery runtime calculator. It never shows anything other than zero

Rubbish App

App works....then doesn’t work....then works...then doesn’t work. Finds my battery but doesn’t give any info on it...LiFOS gave me advice to run the battery flat and then it will connect to the app...I did...it didn’t.
Utter crap

Ok, but needs improvements.

Sub zero readings are not correct. I contacted LiFOS and they said they had multiple complaints about this and would contact the app developer. I think there should be an option for digital readings as opposed to the dial gauges, the text is way too small.

Good in parts

Works OK, but very poor interface. The numbers are in very small font and not easy to read. This is made worse by the scales used on the analogue dials. Scales up to 6000 watts and 200 amps mean that the needle hardly moves for 3A or 40W and is useless as a guide. Up to 64V is not much better when I have a 12V battery. These sort of tweaks cannot be difficult to incorporate, either by changing the scales used or (better still) by allowing the user to set the scales. So get your app developer working on it, to match the quality of your product!!

This new version as of 11 Nov 2020 seems OK

This appears to correct the previous problems with the app. I’ll now try the 105Ah on load to fully discharge and observe what happens.

Doesn’t work

Everytime I connect to the app it tells me the battery is empty even when it’s fully charged. It skips all over the place. A real shame as I bought this battery over others available because of this feature. I hope an update sorts out out
