Basic functionality - no decent updates ever
A truly basic application that has not changed in the years I’ve owned this equipment. Turn on/off and set the regular timers. Thats it.
Tells you when salt is low but does not give a constant reading so you can see long before salt is too low to top up. Can’t set a dosage timer which every pool owner knows you need for shock treatments etc.
You can do this from the control panel, if you can read it as it’s pathetic in almost any light. ($547 to replace it just so you can read the panel)
Do Environ staff not use their equipment and this app and know it is pathetic. Or maybe they do and just don’t care.
It would not be complicated coding to add some basic and useful functionality.

Does the job👍
Would be even better if you could do manual acid dosing from the app.
Very Basic
I have this app in combination with an Oasis Smart pool system (with its own app). They don’t actually combine (exchange data etc) but then I don’t expect them to.
The Astral app is very basic. Minor thing however for example the dialog for ph and orp levels appears to be a slider however it isn’t. You must tap each to move in little increments. Come on guys this is not hard.
There is an option to halt ph adjustment for a period however not for chlorination (manually adjust to zero)
None of the maintenance functions on the menu of the physical device is available via app. Example pH and ORP probe calibration.

Lacks Data
The Clorinator Go app is OK being able to control the ChlorinatorGO, lights & pump remotely is great but every setting that can be changed & the data it measures like ORP should be available via the app. I have to walk out to the shed to see the current ORP level?? This app is good but could be great

Disappointing effort
I think it’s worthwhile, taking a step back, and remembering how much of a significant capital outlay a pool is let alone the ongoing operational costs and effort. It’s sad to see an Australian company being lazy. This app is nowhere near where it should be.
