Bug fix

User reviews

Error with connection

I tried this app and the helium app to connect my phone to the device and I’m unable to do so, this is issue has been going for a year now and I’m not really making anything from this crypto miner. I contacted the support team but no luck, they sent the basic troubleshooting solutions like, make sure that your app is up to date and you have Bluetooth connections, etc…things we already know.

No longer connects to my bobcat 300

Use the hotspot app instead

Awful garbage of an app

Web dashboard in app says my miner is offline, but it’s green and still actively earning IOT. Clicking other items in their app results in 404 errors. Like who is developing this app and do they even care anymore? Absolutely worthless at this point.

Response from developer

We apologize for these issues. Helium's recent migration to Solana has introduced some issues which are being worked on currently. We're hoping to have these addressed soon.

Can’t change account email

This app is good for the most part, but there’s no option to change my account’s email, which should be a basic feature in 2023. I asked support about this and they said I should create a new account instead. This is not possible, since my miners are located hours away from me, and I would have to delete and repair them with my new account. Please just let me change my account’s email in app!
