### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-05-31, version 1.6*

While it finds and connects to inverter, all functions in app don’t work (icons gray). When pressing on/off button app just close with no affect to inverter.

### 1/5 — What a joke.

*2025-12-05, version 1.6*

Inverter works fine. Apps a joke

### 1/5 — Waste

*2025-02-05, version 1.6*

This app doesnt work at all dont buy there products.

### 5/5 — Please, I need it.

*2024-12-23, version 1.6*

I really, really ask you to make the limit on low voltage protection, not 11. And before 12. I really need it. Very much. Thank you.

### 1/5 — The app is not working

*2024-03-17, version 1.6*

The app is not working properly,it only connects to the converter,the functions on the app don’t work

### 1/5 — What’s the point of making this app?

*2023-05-04, version 1.6*

I have a iPhone 13 and this is my 2nd of the same 3000w inverter from my understanding the best 1 this company makes yet it didn’t work on the last one so why did I feel getting a new one would fix the problem?? SMDH I’m gonna try the plus wish me luck but more then likely it will turn off when I try to press power button and not do anything else… time to uninstall this app💯💯

### 1/5 — Worthless app now

*2022-12-29, version 1.6*

Hate when updates kill an app it was working fine now nothing

### 1/5 — Worked on my phone until it didnt

*2022-12-22, version 1.6*

I recently bought the power drive inverter and the app worked fine.  That was until Apple had an update.  I now can not get it to recognize my Bluetooth at all.  It does work on my Apple IPad Pro but without power I won’t have a modem hooked up.  My I pad does not have data so that will not work for me since I really will be needing during an outage .  Nice job!

### 2/5 — Can’t read the text

*2022-04-18, version 1.6*

The text is the same color as the background so you can’t read the text. You can even see this is the screenshots the developer put on the App Store.

### 1/5 — Took away feature

*2021-11-12, version 1.4*

Cmon guys. Don’t take away features that barely work in the first place. Now when you turn in the timer that turns your inverter off , you can’t see how many hours you choose until it turns off because the slider no longer shows hours. Please put that feature back in again. It’s like setting an alarm clock without knowing the time it’s gonna turn the alarm on. Also can you put in a simple scheduler so it you can set the alarm to trim the inverter off on a daily schedule?
