First it does not report on one of my 2 main panels. It can only monitor one. So it took months of diagnosing this with my electric company on why their usage number weren’t even close to Enlighten’s to the point of having to pay for a tech to come out and measure the meter only to find out it’s not the meter, it’s Enphase. Then at times it cannot access the Gateway. Recycling breakers etc does nothing. Usually within 24 hrs it comes back. Last but now the biggest issue is the Status screen shows I’m profile Self-Consumption, the batteries are 95% charged, then go to Live Status and now the Profile shows as Savings and it’s importing from the grid! Then click on Profile (which shows as Savings) and then the choice screen shows that it’s set to Self-Consumption! No not happy and definitely wrong to the point where I’m paying for electricity when I having plenty of battery power to use but can’t get to it. ### 3/5 — Need a update *2026-08-22, version 4.7.0* I added a secondary thermostat and now the app is having difficulty updating the system, controlling both of the thermostats and making any schedule changes. ### 2/5 — Now with AI that isn't accurate *2026-08-20, version 4.7.0* Enphase has recently added an AI that blatantly gets information incorrect, and when it admits it was wrong, makes the exact same mistake the next day. It says it cannot make images immediately after showing you images. It says it can't see system details right after showing you details. It's a very poor implementation of AI. It should be removed unless, and until, it's actually about to do what it says. ### 2/5 — Why won’t it accept special characters? *2026-08-19, version 4.7.0* The app won’t accept special characters in the WiFi password. I have to change my password, which means I have to reconnect every device I have already connected prior to this. Extremely frustrating. This is the only app that I have worked with that has this restriction. ### 3/5 — Glitch in opening app *2026-08-16, version 4.7.0* Even after deleting and reinstalling the app, I continue to have issues opening it. The screen will be black. I cannot use this app the way it was intended if I have to delete and reinstall it daily. I really think this has to do with the latest iOS update. ### 4/5 — App glitch *2026-08-10, version 4.6.1* I have had no issue with the apps function until the latest iOS updates and now the app when opened just shows a black screen. I even go through the App Store to try and open it from there and it’s still a black screen. ### 2/5 — Was great until it wasn’t *2026-08-04, version 4.6.1* Worked perfectly for 4 years. Until one day it no longer did. No warning, no update notification, no software requirement. Just stopped even in browser. I suggested Enphase notify you of updates and list software requirements. Not just saying it works with this device and doesn’t isn’t helpful. DEVELOPERS: You need to UPDATE the app and add the software version needed. It says it works with my devices. Is does not. ### 2/5 — Inaccurate Earnings!! *2026-08-04, version 4.6.1* I like this app and refer to it almost every day. I would give it five stars if one of the most important features were accurate: Net Earnings. We ended last year with around $295 “Net Earnings” according to the app. Since net is total earnings AFTER deductions, we thought we had a $295 credit. Wrong!!! We had to pay $350!! Net Earnigs is actually gross earnings. So now I have turned off the “discharge battery to the grid” setting. I may get an $8 credit for the few hours until it drains, but I have no idea how much MORE I’m paying for the hours I then have to buy power during peak hours because my battery has no juice. I know power rates vary, but it seems like the estimate shouldn’t be $650 off. ### 3/5 — Storm Guard *2026-08-02, version 4.6.1* Enphase keeps putting me on the grid despite my settings because a storm is coming through my area despite my battery’s being charged at 100%. This is also, despite my solar being turned off for an entire month because local electrician turned it off prior to us arriving in our newly purchased home. The purchase is home because of the system would not have to pay for electricity as the power has the ability to create enough power to run the household. ### 3/5 — Misinformation *2026-08-02, version 4.6.1* Often when they update the app, it messes it up. Our batteries constantly show the incorrect data. Getting them to fix it is often a temporary state and then reverts back. Super annoying when we are trying to best utilize our system with improper information. ### 1/5 — The app is not working *2026-07-30, version 4.6.1* My electricity bill was higher than normal so I am trying to see my solar input and the app isn’t working which is making me think the solar isn’t work which is why I bill is so high. Needing assistants. ### 1/5 — No working *2026-07-29, version 4.6.1* My app is not working currently. All I get it the spinning wheel then it closes app. I can’t even get to login or anything. Is there something wrong with the current version. ### 1/5 — Not loading *2026-07-28, version 4.6.1* App not loading on iPad nor android phone despite attempting usual resolutions. ### 2/5 — Nice, but . . . *2026-07-28, version 4.6.1* Nice app, but who is the moron who put the + & - box right in the middle of the screen I am trying to see??? . . Stupid! ### 1/5 — Opp not opening *2026-07-27, version 4.6.1* Any reason why App not opening? Is it being killed ### 2/5 — Constant unblockable internal ads *2026-07-27, version 4.6.1* I don’t wish to be sold other products from this company. Every time I open the app there’s an ad. ### 2/5 — Is the app broken *2026-07-26, version 4.6.1* The last two days I’ve been trying to open the app up to check my system and it will not open ### 4/5 — Feature request: Add widgets *2026-07-26, version 4.6.1* Great app. Widgets would help monitor system vitals and provide easy means of approving EV charging authentication requests. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Service *2026-08-25, version 4.7.0* I have called Ion Solar several times and have been placed on hold and call back list and I haven’t received any response. I have been placed on hold and never get an associate to speak with. My panels have been reading low for months and my bill is very high. ### 1/5 — Unhappy *2026-08-23, version 4.7.0* Most often can not attain current view. It does not connect to Server ### 1/5 — 4.7.0 update crashed the App *2026-08-19, version 4.7.0* Updated to 4.7.0. App no longer works. Uninstalled app. Reinstalled app. Doesn’t work. Circle spins forever as if loading. ### 1/5 — Super slow opening *2026-08-15, version 4.7.0* Latest update returned the app to taking 60 or more seconds to load the screen. It sits forever. You really need to optimize the app launch times. It faster for me to use browser than the app. ### 1/5 — Terrible customer support when issues arrise. *2026-08-15, version 4.7.0* Terrible customer support ### 1/5 — Cannot turn off Assistant *2026-08-15, version 4.7.0* They add annoying app features even without an update. Added a yellow Assistant you can't remove and icons are smaller, the bottom menu is smaller. ### 1/5 — Not good *2026-08-05, version 4.6.1* We have had our solar system for quite a few years now and we still have an outrageous electric bill and we’ve had them come out and look at it and now we’re having to have more solar panels put on costing us more money! Ugh!! ### 1/5 — App needs a refresh and an update *2026-08-05, version 4.6.1* The app does not work well. Graph does not seem to update and often lags behind up to three hours and sometime days. Even after update (4.6.1), it still hangs up and does not always refresh to the right time. Usually several hrs behind. ### 1/5 — Enphase app doesn’t match with power company meter. *2026-08-04, version 4.6.1* I have issues. My app reports that my system is producing way more energy than what the power company meter says. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2026-07-30, version 4.6.1* App doesn’t work ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great system *2026-08-26, version 4.7.0* Iv had the system for two years , well worth it . Even tech support is amazing . Also the field service engineer also great. System has a small error the came out and fixed it . Over highly satisfied. ### 5/5 — Happy *2026-08-21, version 4.7.0* Everything works great & my utility bill keeps going down! ### 5/5 — Works fine. *2026-07-14, version 4.6.1* Reports data you need. ### 5/5 — Robust software *2026-06-09, version 4.6.1* Excellent model for how HMI software interface should perform. Robust, intuitive and reliable. ### 5/5 — A lot of information is available *2026-05-27, version 4.6.1* We have had our Enphase solar array for a month now and really enjoy the app for keeping tabs on what the system is producing. Being able to go back in time to track daily weekly etc. is enjoyable for me . They say knowledge is power and this app is just that. ### 5/5 — Pastor T *2026-05-10, version 4.6.1* Great, precise and accurate app that is quite assuring!
