## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Simple Interface, Zero Function

*2025-05-14*

Hooked up, downloaded update. Really clean & simple, but NOTHING is functional from the app. Tells you what your cooler is producing, but can’t control or change anything from the app. It’s pretty much useless.

### 1/5 — Can’t change louver mode

*2025-03-13*

What’s the point of an app you can’t even change how the fan is operating looper mode is just a static icon and you can’t change it to swing or direction or anything lame.

### 1/5 — Not good.

*2024-07-26*

How can something that should be so easy be so &$:/-ed up.

### 1/5 — App crashes, how do I control an Apex 4000?

*2024-07-18*

I want to buy an Apex 4000, so I downloaded the app that instantly crashes.     This is your new series of App controlled coolers…better fix this problem fast or have upset clients

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2024-07-03*

All crashes and won’t open. iPhone iOS 17.5.1

### 1/5 — App Crashes

*2024-06-26*

Your app crashes and won’t open at all. iPhone 15 pro - latest OS. I tried to report a problem with the app, but it won’t allow me to.

### 2/5 — Not the greatest

*2024-07-19*

Worked for a week, had to to connect cooler show cooler connected but no data on screen and can’t control cooler but shows connected very frustrating

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2025-04-22*

Love it - fits my needs and is easy to use.

### 5/5 — Very useful app

*2025-01-24*

Works as expected and very easy to connect and control!

### 5/5 — Allows me to control multiple units

*2025-01-24*

This app is great in the field for managing units

## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Performs as expected

*2025-01-13*

Latest version is working great. It’s been nice having the remote control on the new Portacool models.

### 5/5 — Clean design

*2025-01-13*

It was easy to add my coolers and set schedules 👍

### 5/5 — Works as Advertised

*2024-08-27*

Allows me to monitor and control my Portacool unit remotely.  Would like to see support for integrating with other systems controlling temperature/humidity, e.g. AC Infinity, in addition to basic scheduling functionality.

### 5/5 — Great support

*2024-07-25*

Had issue with wifi connectivity, support was great help resolve the issue

If you have a mesh network you may have issues

I dont but I had shared ssids between access points. Was able to work around that

Its not the end of the world if you cant use the app. Product is solid though
