Scrap this app

I wanted the dealer to install a MinnKota on board charger but he insisted on this system. It’s probably the worst decision I made to let them install this product. I’m changing it this week. Too many issues to deal with.

Garbage

Nothing works..and tech support is nonexistent

Junk

This is the single-most frustrating app that I’ve ever used. I finally returned the power pole Charge system as it too caused me nothing but problems and killed two batteries.

Problematic

App is super glitchy and costs more time than it’s worth.

Firmware

Cannot connect to server. YouTube versions state that there’s a setting that you can go in and put all your battery information in. No such settings to allow that. Seems like this has been ongoing for a year or more.
