  • App works great

    Easy to connect. Alerts are very helpful since I have a rental property and can’t always be there. Highly recommend getting this product for monitoring their sump pump.

    Hi KC, thanks for the five star! Smart usage staying on top of the pump data for your renters. We are grateful that you took the time to tell us about it!
  • Highly unstable - I hope the pumps are better than the app!!

    The idea of this app is fantastic. It would provide a lot of peace of mind to the many homeowners who have entrusted their basement to this company. However, they do not spend enough time and effort in making sure the app actually functions properly. It routinely has problems, maintaining connections with its equipment, freezes, requires resetting, loses connection to it equipment, etc. I can’t imagine that would be very hard to update the app and make it do what it was supposed to do.

    Updated developer response: We were hopeful we would hear from you direct when we replied to this message last year, but we definitely wanted to check in. Have you spoken with our support team at 269 743 2260? We've made a considerable number of updates though we are on the same version still. Curious how your experience is, all of our users can see their devices in the app currently, so if you can't, we can probably get you set with a ten minute call.
  • Device ID

    What device? The grill or the wifi device?
    Unclear how to connect my smoker to the app??
  • Crappy monitoring

    Stops working, hard time entering info and saving. Seems like an easy fix, unsure why they can’t do it correctly.

    updated developer response: Call us. 269 743 2260. Your review noted that it seems like an easy fix, and it likely is, though we aren't sure if we have been able to talk with you. If you did get fixed up, we would love to hear how the app is working for you now.
  • Not great

    This app needs work. It’s lost my device twice now, then on a factory reset succeeds in connecting to WiFi but fails to add the device. I found another app from the same company called PumpSpy, looks identical and seems to be more stable.

    Hi again! PitBoss+ is an app developed by PumpSpy Technology. You note that PumpSpy works better, but they are the same app save for a few specifics. We'd love to hear if you ever got a better experience with this app or not. Call us at 269 743 2260 if you want to talk about it, we'd love to see if things are going better or not for you.
  • Great Customer Support Lindy!

    I purchased a Pitboss+ sump pump alarm and had problems getting the device setup. I must admit I was getting quite frustrated with directions to delete and re-download the app which was to have upgrades. This had no success and I was ready to return the unit to my supplier for a refund until I had the good fortune to speak with Lindy. On our first call he walked me through a number of options in an effort to get my device setup with no success. He promised to send me a new device and true to his word it arrived quickly. I tried to set it up and again following the directions provided and had the same issues. I left a message and again Lindy reached out willing to do whatever whenever necessary to get the device working to my satisfaction. I called again and due to a 2 hour time difference he was more than willing to assist even though it was well past work hours and late into his evening. He got it working, apologized and offered to assist anytime I may have questions or issues in the future.
    It is great to know there are still some companies with people that truely believe in customer service.
    Many thanks to Lindy for his dedication and quality service putting a customer’s needs as top priority.
    Thanks Lindy, very much appreciated. The app works great and it provides me the comfort and security I was looking for and expected.

  • New app

    Down loaded the new app and discusted with it so far. No Wi-Fi compatibility and can’t get it to sink to Pitboss. Very unhappy

    Developer Response

    Hi there! We just wanted to check in and see if your experience has improved, if you've been able to get your device synced, etc? We are grateful for your feedback, but more importantly we want to make sure you're getting what you need out of our app and products. Please do update and let us know when you have a chance!
  • Never Works

    Usually can’t log in. The app constantly just spins when you click on anything. Useless if you rely on the app for the status of your sump pump.

    Developer Response

    It's been almost two years since you left this review. I'd be interested to see if you ever got yourself into a better spot? We have made a few revisions to the app since you left this feedback and significantly improved our support team. If you're not up and running on your own, we can definitely get you there.

  • Difficulty signing in

    Once signed in, the app works great.

    However when entering credentials, the app does not like credentials that are pasted in making it very difficult to sign in when you use passwords that are generated by password management apps like 1Password.

    Since the last upgrade I can no longer sign in whether I type or paste in my credentials.

    Hi Charlie, thanks for leaving this review for us. It's not great, but it was a sign that we needed to do a lot of work! We are wondering how it's been going for you as we have been hard at work for nearly a year since you left this. We'd be so happy if you could update, good bad or inbetween!
  • Unsecure

    Sends unencrypted identity information over net. Nighthawk by net gear and other security programs block it resulting in unknown error message when you try to log in.
