### 1/5 — New app is awful

*2026-07-19*

It finds my devices, states my device ID is invalid and to reset by unplugging battery with ignition on. I do this, nothing changes. The old app read the SGI-100BT with no issue. The new app will not allow you to do anything from what I can see. And when it sometimes does decide to work, it will randomly disconnect from the device.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2026-05-25*

Bluetooth don’t pair cost is way to high for the weak/cheap app and controller

### 1/5 — Bluetooth won’t connect

*2026-03-28*

Won’t let me connect to Bluetooth to change my dash color. Please fix bug, customer pay to much money for your product not to function properly.

### 5/5 — Dakota Digital RTX

*2026-03-24*

App Review

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-11-05*

Apparently I’m not the only one, new App is not reading my controller. My settings are gone and old App is apparently non existent. Fans won’t turn on so in my mind your software, App and controller is absolutely useless! Any talks about fixing this? Pointless to own the controller when the selling point was to have the ease of the changes at my finger tips!

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-10-18*

Apparently I’m not the only one, new App is not reading my controller. My settings are gone and old App is apparently non existent. Fans won’t turn on so in my mind your software, App and controller is absolutely useless!

### 2/5 — Fan controller

*2025-08-11*

I used to have the older fan controller app and worked fine and now i cannot set up my dual fans with my fan controller through this app since the other one disappeared.

### 5/5 — Pretty much perfect

*2024-08-15, version 2.3.4*

I haven’t run into a single issue. Works flawlessly with my RTX.

### 2/5 — Unreliable

*2024-03-23*

Real time guages rarely work after update. If you like reinstalling the app constantly then you’ll love this. Pretty disappointing considering their guages are great. Maybe find a better app developer

**Developer response:** Sorry you're having this problem. It is likely that there is an issue with Bluetooth module in the Control Box and it needs to be reset. We would be happy to walk you through this process. Please contact Dakota Digital support.

### 1/5 — Missing real-time gauges

*2023-12-09*

Did something happen in version 2.2.0 that dropped real time gauges?  No longer showing up on two different iphones.
