### 1/5 — Used to work

*2026-03-21, version 1.0.16*

Much like every other “update” they break what used to work.  Logged out constantly, won’t connect.  What it is good for then???

### 2/5 — Poor App Connectivity

*2026-03-11, version 1.0.16*

The surge protector does not stay connected to the App. The app is poor and they need to make it better. It should have graphing abilities instead of the cheapest designed app.

### 3/5 — App needs work

*2026-02-16, version 1.0.15*

1. App is very glitchy and does not work smoothly. I cannot even register my product for warranty because the app doesn’t have the selectors filled out for country and state, and continually crashes.
2. I shouldn’t have to log in every single time I open the app. Should stay logged in or atleast allow face recognition from the device. 
3. Really would like a log of historical data for power usage with time stamps! A numbered graph or something of the sort to show what my usage looks like over time would be great!

Great product, amazing idea, just need to smooth things out and add some features I’ve seen others request.

### 3/5 — Getting better all the time!

*2026-01-30, version 1.0.14*

I have 3 of these devices in service. Lots of improvements have been made recently, but one need remains . . . Please add an option for the devices to be re-ordered in the app. The first device of three is on bottom, but it’s most important, and needs to be on top. Thx.

### 2/5 — Needs additional work - facial recognition

*2026-01-07, version 1.0.14*

This is a good starting place, but the app needs more work.  Having to constantly log into the app is annoying.   Facial recognition capabilities would go a long ways to an improved review.

### 1/5 — Update won’t Recognize Watchdog

*2025-12-30, version 1.0.14*

App worked fine until the update required me to create “an account”. Now it tells me that my watchdog has already been associated with another account. Called support. Had to leave a message during normal business hours. Still nobody calls me back. Not impressed.

### 3/5 — Dumb app design

*2025-12-06, version 1.0.14*

I wish they would move the button to remotely power off the entire trailer AWAY FROM THE BOTTOM WHERE ONE SWIPES A CELL PHONE!  I’ve almost had a heart attack because of how they positioned that option. Very dumb design.

### 1/5 — Heartbreaking

*2025-11-24, version 1.0.14*

Looks like a Windows 95 app, VERY slow and won’t connect out of the box to the device. Fortunately, the device is quite good and I guess I’d rather have them perfect that than the app. Just too bad the app isn’t as good as the device.

### 1/5 — From bad to worse!

*2025-11-03*

Being only 30 feet away from the wifi signal, you would think they would stay connected, right? Nope, that’s too much to ask for; but at least I could walk up to them and connect by BT and then switch back to WIFI and they would reconnect.
With this new update it shows BOTH BT and WIFI and I can’t switch to BT then back to WIFI. 
PLEASE, put it back like it was ! ! !

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2025-10-27, version 1.0.13*

The app requires constant restart! Sometimes have to restart twice to use.
