### 5/5 — Problem Solved

*2024-12-30, version 1.4.0*

I've been using this app for a few years, and while it was frustrating due to frequent logouts, I kept putting up with it. 

However, it looks like that issue has been resolved, as I haven't had to log in for at least 1 to 2 weeks now. This improvement has made the app much easier to use, and I'm very happy with it now

### 1/5 — App no longer works

*2024-12-29, version 1.4.0*

App no longer works???   Have been using for the last 12 months, but now the app won’t stay open, shuts down within a couple of seconds.

### 3/5 — Functional

*2024-09-22, version 1.3.8*

The app does the job but could be improved for a better user experience . For those that were asking, the Parameter Settings password is 066. Don’t change any value that you don’t fully understand.

### 1/5 — Password required to access Parameter Settings

*2024-03-28, version 1.3.4*

The app constantly crashes / logs me out and a password is required to access the parameter settings. However, the password appears to be pre-set and there's no way to find out what it is. Therefore I cannot access the parameter settings, which is a major issue

### 1/5 — Still poor

*2024-02-11, version 1.3.3*

As per previous review, yet to be fixed. 

When it works, App is ok and does what is designed HOWEVER, it frequently logs you out for no reason and will not log in until the app has been forced closed. 

It also randomly disconnects itself from the unit and requires you to reconnect it to the wifi controller. This doesn’t sound like a big deal, but you have to be physically next to the unit to reset it and then re-bind it. This is a pain if the wifi unit is not easily accessible. 

Would not recommend either, however there aren’t many alternatives as a Pentair customer.

### 1/5 — Frustrating AF

*2023-12-23, version 1.3.3*

Need to constantly re-login to the app. 
If power goes out you need to resync the heater to the app (which takes fricken ages). 
Only using it because it’s the only app that works with the Henden Heat Pump. 

Useless.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work most of the time

*2023-12-04, version 1.3.3*

Logs out and goes offline continuously. Great idea if it actually worked.

### 1/5 — Unreliable

*2023-10-21, version 1.3.3*

Logs out and goes offline continually. Also text is too pale. Needs to be bold. Difficult to read without glasses. Look at InverGo app and follow suit. It’s much better.

### 1/5 — App needs a lot of work

*2023-10-17, version 1.3.3*

The idea is ok, but…. I have needed to continually log back into the app as it times out for no valid reason. Keep the user logged in. 

It periodically takes it self offline and is unusable. These should be simple things to fix and the manufacturer needs to resolve these issues before the app is if any use.

Do not recommend until these fixes are in place.

### 1/5 — Device bonding failed

*2023-03-27, version 1.3.2*

Device bonding failure no good
