A downgrade from vessel view mobile
I’ve been wanting to like this app since mercury said vessel view mobile is being deprecated. It’s frustrating that there are less features that VVM. For example nowhere can I find the nice chart of my fuel consumption by RPM. I can find the tabular data but no nice chart. Still have no idea where to do a hole shot test at. The chart idea is good except you can’t download it for offline use. And worst of all, it takes a significant amount of time to open the app every single time. Please improve this. I want to like it.

Eh……
Might be great but there’s no way of knowing since it won’t connect.
Edit: finally got it to connect. Don’t see any benefit over Vessel View. Maybe less useful.

Yeah not happy Jan
New app new look but you couldnt even reach feature parity with the old vesselview app. I cant customize my dashboard, i cant see engine temperature, it takes forever to load. You can keep it. But im sticking with vv until you take it away. Do better please.
Worse than its predecessor
I’ve been using the VesselView app for over 7 years. I switched to the Mercury app because they said VesselView was being depreciated. This app takes longer to connect and doesn’t have the ability to customize which sensors are on your main screen. I really hope they update it so it’s at least on par with its predecessor.

Useless add-on snuck in
Bass Pro sales guy had this added option on my rig and I didn’t see it. Thought, oh well, it will be nice to have.
Screw this app. It crashes constantly and is a distraction on the water.
Poor product Mercury.

Vesselview downgrade
Why does the app take almost a minute to load? This is on the latest iPhone pro model. Further why are there less features than the vesselview application?
Doesn’t work correctly
App is always giving problems and getting stuck
Needs improvement
This app could be a great companion to the Vessel View module. I tried it out upon receiving notification that the Vessel View app itself is being deprecated, and this Mercury app lacks a lot of the gauge customization features that the VV app offers. The ability to add multiple custom gauge pages is gone, and I tried multiple times to upload my VVM data and the app kept crashing so I gave up. Hopefully improvements are coming.

So much potential
I had VesselView for years, it would boot up an work way faster than mercury marine. When it does work, it’s nice to have. I wish there was a way to customize a gauge panel similar to apps we use on cars/obdii ports. Please put a little effort into the app and it will be great.
Reviews are misleading
Ignore all of the cry baby reviews. Once I downloaded this app, as it is the newer app than Vessel View(never worked), I was very happy because it does exactly what it is supposed to do.
Thanks Mercury!
Thanks Mercury!
Slow app
The other app loads faster and has more features. This app is severely lacking and slow and doesn’t show correct fuel level. It only shows by fuel consumed and won’t let you click on the level sensors. What’s the point of having a digital app to only monitor the RPM and MPH. So much potential this could be, but totally wasted.

Works fine
Idk what people are talking about it works fine and it’s cool you can read faults on your phone since it cost a lot of time and money to take it to get codes read
3.0 MPI expensive volt meter.
I’ve installed this onto a 2011 3.0 MPI and it does virtually nothing. Tells me hours on the engine, revs, engine temp and volts. That’s all. No code reading or alerts, just everything my dash already says except volts. Hopefully this can be updated because for a mercruiser 3.0 MPI it’s not worth it at all. The dealer saw it today and found the same result, it literally has a weather app no better than any other, charts that do what???? And a compass no better than an iPhone already has. Lots of mercury advertising. God for that, nothing else. Create an update please so this does everything as advertised. For my engine it’s a massive rip off.

Good idea, but VVM is better
I’ve been using VesselView Mobile (VVM) for a few years and love it. I’d like to use this new app, but it doesn’t rotate to landscape view and it will only display engine data for one engine at a time. I like the side-by-side display of VVM, but this app doesn’t have it. If these two things could be fixed, it would be a great app.

Lacking
Takes forever to load. Only 3 parameters viewable and one is fuel, so basically you get 2 of your choice. Vessel View was so much better. That’s progress. Meh.
This app is so trash
Can’t even connect to the Bluetooth on my device
Won’t even open, let alone work properly.
Seriously, what the heck?
How do I go about getting my money back. What’s the point if the app won’t even open? How long do I have to put up with this?This is literally a rip off.

Surprisingly bad
I haven’t had the boat on the water yet but the inability to configure the screen to show the parameters you want is ridiculous. Speedometer and tach take up a huge part of the screen and are the only two things I definitely don’t want to see as I have dedicated gauges for those. As other users have said it’s extremely slow and requires a separate configuration app to set up. Looking forward to future releases as it can only get better from here.

Response from developer
Sorry to see that you are having an issue using viewing additional engine data. While connected to the SmartCraft Connect module, on the Live Data page with the Speedometer, you can tap on the two lower data panels to view more data parameters. While on that more data screen, you can tap on the cog button in the upper right of the screen to choose from a list of additional data parameters that you would like to view. The separate configuration app is not necessary to use SmartCraft Connect with the Mercury Mobile app in most cases. We appreciate your feedback and will keep it in mind for future updates. Please reach out to us at support.vvm@mercmarine.com or from within the Mercury Marine app ("More" tab --> Help & Feedback --> Send Feedback) and we can assist you with any other questions you have.

This app is the worse one ever used.
