App is ok, wifi hub+module is unreliable - GET A SMART SWITCH!
At first the connection to my wifi module was mostly reliable, but that quickly turned to being unresponsive 100% of the time. A modern genius recommended a fix that I want to make sure I share with you all: connect your balboa hub to a smart switch, like a simple kasa $5 smart switch. When you can’t connect to your hot tub, go toggle the power on and off on the smart switch and you’ll be able to connect again. Without this genius work around my WiFi module would be useless. I’m so grateful to the person that shared this advice. So, I want to continue to share it. Balboa could easily release a firmware upgrade where if their hub detects a lack of connection for some period of time then it just self-reboots. Or, you know, fix the root cause. But until then, this work around is amazing and you should use it if you’re experiencing the same issues.

Poor. Temp set doesn't hold, jets don't come on on one side, app disconnects. Ugh

Not enjoying it!
Keeps going off line and the app doesn’t easily sync to the hot tub, I get different readings. I need to check manually which kind of defeats the purpose of the app!

Doesn’t Work
Disconnects after a few hours. Have to unplug the control unit to reconnect. Ugh. Such an expensive spa to not even have reliable connectivity to it.
