### 4/5 — Hi this app does not work anymore. I would like to know why And John getting help on it thank you.

*2026-07-29, version 3.6.0*

I’ve got there is a new virgin box and it’s a fibre optics and my app does not work anymore. Can you help thank you

### 3/5 — Latest update

*2026-07-26, version 3.6.0*

The last update remove the refresh button on the IPad which is very unhelpful as it sometimes doesn’t update the information from previous use so have to close the app totally to get the data to update

### 2/5 — Quick charge function??

*2026-07-25, version 3.6.0*

As with the other reviews, the older version of the app was fine as it was. There was a simple click to activate the quick charge if and when you needed it. Now I can’t find it at all on the new look– can someone get back to me as to how I charge it quickly when I want to please?

### 2/5 — Still has lots to fix

*2026-07-14, version 3.6.0*

The refresh button is only just showing (1/3) on an iPhone.  It’s missing for an iPad. 
AC charge can’t be set. 
Solar generation chart not working. 
Can’t set what % you want the battery to charge too on an over night charge.

### 2/5 — White screen after 2.0 update

*2026-07-06, version 3.5.6*

About 10 updates after 2.0 release but I still see a white empty screen with the new interface. Thanks the old one is still working and not removed.

### 2/5 — New UI worse to use

*2026-07-02, version 3.5.2*

The old UI was an easy to understand 2d with arrows showing the power flow directions. Simples. The new one may look flashier but the writing is tiny and the flowing arrows have disappeared.  Not progress.

### 3/5 — Going Back to the Old

*2026-05-23, version 3.2.8*

At the top left of the new screen which shows just the station there’s a circle with two opposing arrows, press that and it’s goodbye graphics but hello a useable app again.

### 3/5 — Login

*2026-05-07, version 3.2.8*

Unable to complete login , keyboard not hide or show password field after enter user id.

### 2/5 — New design

*2026-04-01, version 3.1.8*

I was quite happy with the old app but then comes along this new design. Hard to see as the writing is so small, especially the battery content. Hard to see how much power has been imported from the grid. Looks pretty but the old design displays information in a more easily accessed way. For a while I could access both formats but now the old format has gone and this new version seems to crash more easily. Please go back to the old version.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time

*2026-03-31, version 3.1.8*

Had a new router fitted and it will not connect to the dongle it is an absolute waste of time

### 1/5 — Dongle connection after router change

*2026-03-29, version 3.1.8*

What an absolute disgrace. How hard should it be to reconnect the dongle to the new router? Two hours of watching YouTube videos and trying time and again to carry out what should be a simple task!!!!

### 1/5 — Terrible update

*2026-03-14, version 3.1.8*

The last version of this was fine. This is clunky and unintuitive. I can’t work out how to set grid battery charge times. I don’t understand the need to change it.

### 1/5 — Messed it up

*2026-03-13, version 3.1.8*

Lost virtually all the functionality that I used. Was monitoring mains voltage and tracking total export to grid - gone!!!! Why????

### 1/5 — App như cac

*2026-03-10, version 3.1.8*

App chạy như cak họ

### 1/5 — lỗi không hiện bảng điều khiển

*2026-03-07, version 3.1.8*

version mới nhất lỗi không xài được, app tự tắt, các hệ không hiện gì luôn

### 3/5 — Functional but needs refining

*2026-03-03, version 3.1.8*

The recent 2026 refresh took an entirely functional, if not hugely intuitive design and added just terrible visual/UI led fluff. A classic case of UI leading UX. 

OK, surface level it’s an impressive looking dashboard but really it’s not very usable. The graphs are fiddly and the various graphics just represent the same info in different formats. While at a glance info like export for the day has gone. The old interface was much better. They reinstated choice to use that interface, but now that doesn’t pick up my station. A slick design might look nice in screenshots and marketing but really all they needed to do was refresh the programmable side of the old app. I’ll likely move my tariff to Octopus Intelligent soon so perhaps for many now programming charge/discharge slots isn’t an issue

### 1/5 — Can’t make any sense of new view

*2026-03-02, version 3.1.8*

The app said do I want to try the new view, I have but it’s impossible to understand what it is showing anymore, but I can’t now see a way to return to the classic mode either

### 1/5 — T

### 1/5 — Neil

*2026-08-07, version 3.6.4*

Can’t log in

### 1/5 — Update 3/7/2026

*2026-07-04, version 3.5.6*

Lost communications with dongle after update. Cannot now control my Lux device :(

### 1/5 — Update nightmare

*2026-05-02, version 3.2.8*

Since the app updated I get no power from the battery and yes the battery is 100% charged. The solar panel energy does supply the house but most goes to the grid. When there is no sun the power is drawn from the grid and not my batteries. 
The update has cost me money as it has disabled my batteries. I need this sorted can anyone help

### 1/5 — Disappointing update

*2026-04-29, version 3.2.8*

This update is very disappointing. On the previous incarnation all necessary instead available to view and all worked very well. There’s an old saying “ if it ain’t broke… don’t fix it”. Plea see bring back the old system that worked

### 1/5 — Update is regression

*2026-04-28, version 3.2.8*

The new update is nice looking but I much prefer the previous versions clarity and functionality- it says you can switch back to the old version but I just get a blank screen ….. Help !!!

### 1/5 — lux app dead

*2026-04-27, version 3.2.8*

the lux app upgraded itself now all my electricity is coming from the grid with no power from the solar panels going to my 42kw batteries or the house. Help.

### 1/5 — V3.2.8 not working

*2026-04-24, version 3.2.8*

Since V3.2.8 was released 23/04/2026 the LuxCloud app has stopped working on my iPhone 8 running on iOS 16.7.15

### 1/5 — Bring back the old view!

*2026-04-13, version 3.1.8*

I’ve been using the app for a year, but recently it’s changed and it’s much harder to understand what’s going on.  The setting to switch back to the old app interface isn’t working so I’m left with trying to figure it out each time.  Sometimes “progress” doesn’t make it better….

### 1/5 — Regular issues

*2026-04-04, version 3.1.8*

Terrible app. Regular issues, eg batteries not appearing in the new page design, not able to switch to the old style.

Out of all the apps installed, this is one of the worst ones.

### 1/5 — Terrible update

*2026-04-03, version 3.1.8*

Absolute rubbish! I’ve no idea what the app is showing and we don’t know how to make changes to battery charging to get the best use of our solar panels. 👎🏻👎🏻

### 5/5 — Buggy but generally works

*2026-08-04, version 3.6.4*

Please fix the ‘set max battery charge’ setting. Our battery is stuck charging to 90% now as updating the setting in the app doesn’t actually change the device. Thanks team.

### 5/5 — Good to see the prev app

*2026-05-13, version 3.2.8*

Good to use the old app. Still can’t seem to get the batteries to charge anymore than 10% even with force charge or changing the %

### 5/5 — Settings Page

*2026-02-11, version 3.1.8*

Excellent upgrade why so many negative comments.
Bit of a shock at first but brilliant graphics
The time graduations on graph are logical rather than random times.
Separate graphics for each component or combination.
Feed in tariff is easier to read on the filter.
Settings on the device page are easy to use.

### 5/5 — Like the new app

*2026-02-08, version 3.1.5*

I really like the new app! Really like the look and feel a lot. Would like to see new features added like a notification if the grid has been lost. Thanks for the excellent app!

### 5/5 — Getting better

*2026-02-04, version 3.1.5*

App looks really nice and professional now. Getting to settings is a bit of a hassle but to be honest I don’t need to do that as my system is completely automated via Home Assistant. Great hardware btw when matched with Pylontech batteries. Had it for many years with no issues.

### 5/5 — Discharge load views

*2026-02-01, version 3.1.5*

Great app, good new features. Please increase the font size of the battery discharge %. 

Also difficult to read in that colour. Please make it bold for quick reference

### 5/5 — Wow, what an Improvement :-)

*2026-01-29, version 3.1.2*

The old app was usable, but the refresh looks slick. Thank you

### 5/5 — Great App

*2025-12-11, version 3.0.3*

One of the better Apps for a solar system. Only issue lately is the event tab showing blank after many power outages.

### 5/5 — Good

*2025-09-12, version 2.9.3*

Good

### 5/5 — Data tab change

*2025-09-10, version 2.9.2*

Since last update the battery charge column has turned white. Therefore not visible on a white background.
