You can even see this is the screenshots the developer put on the App Store. ### 2/5 — Owner operator *2021-08-04, version 1.3* Works one year without any problems, lately can’t use mobile apps to turn on or turn off, that costs me lifting my bad every time.. because it is inside my bunk .. ### 2/5 — Doesnt work with apple vers. 13.6 *2021-02-16, version 1.3* Asks for pairing code but doesn't display on unit. ### 3/5 — First Time Using - Key Features Needed *2020-10-31, version 1.3* This is the first time I used the app & unit. The unit talks to the iPhone easily. The app graph unit battery usage, very nice, The app DOES NOT GRAPH output power! The lack of output power trend graph is terrible! Output power trends can help determine how much load can safely be put on the unit, battery, and alternator! Unit temperature DOES NOT GRAPH! Unit temperature graph is also helpful in determining how much unit load can be added or should be removed while watching thermals. Each one plug uses half the power output while 2 plugs allow for more output... a little table of plug number and whether it is in use or not would be helpful. Very bizarre that output & thermals are not trended. 10 minute max is held, but if the phone is in range, the phone should be able to record longer. Several hours of trending would be very helpful. ### 1/5 — Will not stay connected *2020-10-02, version 1.3* Recently purchased a brand new 3000 W inverter however the app keeps constantly wanting me to put in a password for the Bluetooth frustrating ### 1/5 — Won’t let you uninstall it *2020-09-24, version 1.3* Don’t install!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — No more Bluetooth connection. *2020-08-30, version 1.3* This app will not even recognize the inverters any more. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work for the 3000 *2020-06-04, version 1.3* This app unable to find the 3000 inverter modules, I’ve successfully connected to a 2000 inverter before but it never work for the 3000. ### 1/5 — Pathetic *2020-04-12, version 1.3* Brand new and I can’t even connect it to my phone, turned off all other Bluetooth devices and still nothing. The pairing code popped up once entered one number the it disappeared. ### 3/5 — No longer pair with IOS 13. *2020-03-28, version 1.3* After the latest apple upgrade fiasco of IOS 13.xx It not longer connects. I will rate it 3 because I really like the product when working properly. I hope it can be fix. Txs ### 1/5 — Bluetooth issues *2020-03-06, version 1.3* Will not pair with my phone ### 3/5 — App Update *2020-02-09, version 1.3* Come on folks time for a update new iPhones and all we’d like the app to work properly with our IPhone 11Pro Max. ### 1/5 — Disappointing!! *2020-02-04, version 1.3* App might download and it might not! IF it does down load, it might connect but in my experience, “Bluetooth “ never saw the unit. ***I called the NO Customer Service line at 866-622-7979. Won’t return calls and appearantly there is only 1, yes ONE person for the whole company that can help. AKA. Leaving you stranded!! Sending unit back for a refund in hopes of finding a real customer service company!! ### 3/5 — Needs update. *2019-12-29, version 1.3* This app needs updated. Too many things to keep track of. Positively need to be updated for iPad Pro. These apps aren’t hard to build and keep up. Good product, let’s do our jobs and make it great!! ### 1/5 — Can’t pair anymore *2019-06-12, version 1.3* Why you guys can’t even fix this issue, not even that, tons of people are complaining for the same problem,(Used to work Not any more) and can’t even have the audacity to explain why. Lots of people rely on this feature, because now you can hide the inverted in a nice place.. you guys are jokes ### 4/5 — Need help *2019-04-07, version 1.3* My app keeps trying to pair with my inverter but ask for a Code I don’t no the code or where to Find it. ??? ### 1/5 — Buggy *2019-03-15, version 1.3* App used to work now it doesn’t even connect to the inverter. ### 1/5 — Please update *2018-07-29, version 1.1* It used to work but now I have iPhone X and cannot even pair with inverter ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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! ### 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? ### 1/5 — Power inverter 3000 *2021-06-26, version 1.3* Bought this one. Will not connect to iPhone iPhone 11 Pro Max , wish you people would fix this problem. Put in passcode. Still will not connect. It would connect to my 2000 one. But not this one. Such a crock. I won't buy another one. ### 1/5 — Really?! *2021-05-19, version 1.3* I’ve tried updating the app uninstalling and reinstalling but it does not connect to my 2000 W power drive inverter?? The inverter works fantastic! But the app does not seem to wanna connect at all! I’ve tried everything I can think of in Bluetooth settings and more. Seems like it would be a cool app if it would work? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 5/5 — Power drive 1000w *2019-03-15, version 1.3* I installed mine today and gave it a test run works perfect. Password was no problem changing& tried out the tester everything passed. Very pleased with my inverter thanks guys ### 5/5 — Best inverter *2016-06-01, version 1.1* This app is awesome! I have to charge battery's off and on through out the day. It's nice to be able to turn the inverter off and on with the app. There's other cool features as well. Also the inverter it self is great quality. ### 5/5 — Best inverter EVER!! *2015-11-21, version 1.1* Thanks for the update!! This is a huge part of my comfort in the truck! Love the sleep timer!!! ### 5/5 — Thanks!!! *2015-11-17, version 1.1* Great update ### 5/5 — Thanks for the update!!! *2015-11-16, version 1.1* Better late than never. Corrections made have fixed all issues!! ### 5/5 — 1 inverter *2015-11-15, version 1.1* 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 ### 5/5 — Worked on iPhone 5s *2015-10-07, version 1.0.27* Crashing on my iPhone 6s Plus running iOS 9.0.1 please fix thanks ### 5/5 — Still works great brew coffee on the road *2015-10-03, version 1.0.27* The 1000W that I have is a great inverter and while I love the convenience of the app with it; I use it to brew pots of coffee driving down the road in my '98 Four Runner. Working and driving a lot plus drinking coffee by the farm load can get expensive so it works great for what I use it for.....so while everyone here knows the app needs a patch for iOS 9 I'm sure that y'all know it'll show up eventually. I guess We have to ask the question "what age do you have to be for this and everything else to not be the end of the world anymore?" ### 5/5 — Best inverter on the market *2015-09-29, version 1.0.27* How the heck can you expect a company to know what Apple has changed until it is implemented? The IOS 9 update came out on Sat and you started complaining on Sun (before Power drive even opened) then expected them to have it fixed the same day. You all need to stick to truck driving because computer programming is way out of your league. Give them time to figure out why it now fails and then fix it. In the mean time, your inverter came with a 6' cable to move the power switch to the inside of your cab for convenient power on/off solutions. This is an APPLE change and power drive needs time to fix their mistake. Thank you --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
