### 2/5 — English

*2026-03-06, version 2.0.4*

An English version would be nice

### 1/5 — Requires tracking your location

*2026-02-27, version 2.0.4*

There is no reason this app should need your location besides selling data

### 1/5 — Basic but works

*2026-01-31, version 2.0.4*

Replaced a previous app for diesel heater - it works but the writing is far too small and functions very limited

### 1/5 — Cannot connect

*2026-01-25, version 2.0.4*

Cannot connect, waste of time with this app

### 1/5 — Crazy phone access

*2026-01-23, version 2.0.4*

A heater app wants access to your photo library, voice recording, location and camera access. 
Why would a heater app need access on your phone for any of that? Delete this garbage

### 1/5 — Svp revenir à l’ancienne version

*2026-01-06, version 2.0.4*

Je viens de télécharger la nouvelle version et plus rien ne fonctionne,

### 4/5 — App works as described

*2025-12-29*

I think a good addition to the app would be to allow for multiple scheduled times to turn on the heater and turn it off after a set time. Right now there is only one option.

### 5/5 — Add more on/off timers

*2025-12-14*

It would be very helpful if you could add more on/off timers. Maybe 8 total. That way you could cycle the heater on and off throughout the day and night. You wouldn’t have to run it continuously. Thank you.

### 5/5 — This is fantastic

*2025-12-12*

You can do a lot of control through this app and track. It functionality a very clean layout easy to navigating use

### 1/5 — App steals pictures and tracks you

*2025-12-07*

If anyone at Apple sees this the app claims it doesn’t collect data but the app requires location services to be on along with access to camera/microphone and access to your photo library. I have found 2 pictures from my photo library on a Chinese website.
