### 1/5 — Inconsistent

*2025-06-29, version 1.6.1*

I’ve used this app for 2 years now. It seems to loose chunks of the bar graphs everyday and the LIVE information is often wildly inaccurate between the app and the battery. At time of writing, the inverter is at 3.6kW yet the app is saying it’s 1.6kW. 
It’s impossible to reliably know what the charge state of the battery is.

### 1/5 — Very poor app

*2024-11-20, version 1.6.1*

1. Sometimes get stuck and requires logout/login. 
2. Scheduled charging setting won’t change - stuck at last setting. Deleted app and data, logged in again, but still the same issue 
3. data display is rudimentary 
4. Should be able to change algo settings from the app Could be sooooooo much better!!! 

 update: 7Jul24 The app b often doesn’t update - logout and login again is required. Pressing the refresh button is to no avail. This unreliability means there’s no benefit to the Solis App.

Pure Drive support is extremely poor as is there complaints department, mainly due to being so unresponsive.

### 5/5 — The ideal app for the householder

*2024-11-07, version 1.6.1*

Provides the information the householder needs to monitor their system, something other reviewers do not understand and see the app as a statistical tool.

### 1/5 — Not sure this is actually good enough to be beta

*2024-05-03, version 1.6.1*

Where to start. 
In terms of data there is a nice visual graphic that tells you where the electricity is going and this matches the Solis app. That works. 

There is no way of finding out what it has been doing during the day that I can find. So you only get a snapshot of time. It looks pretty but of no use monitoring the system over time to work out payback etc. 

Programming the system is utterly useless. I have Puredrive battery and Solis inverter.  I used the Puredrive app to set charging and set a 10 minute charge window to test the app and function. When I went to the inverter to check what is set it has programmed two completely different times and it is not a 10 minute span but 17 hours!  The functionality to programme batteries is clearly incompatible and broken. 

Best thing to do with the app in its current state is delete it. If the developer wants clear feedback as to what is not working I am more than happy to share information if it improves the app.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2024-02-16, version 1.6.1*

My solar installer put the app on my iPad and showed it was “talking” to the system. Since then the display hasn’t changed once. Clearly it isn’t talking to the solar installation.

### 1/5 — Awful upgrade

*2024-02-10, version 1.6.1*

I used it to program my solis invertor 2230-0600 but it actually used 0000-2359 so charged 20kw batteries at my peak cost time 1700-1830.   It rhen constantly overwrote my new settings so I had to disable guest access and delete the app.  It’s not properly tested and obviously faulty.   Don’t use it.   I’ve emailed puredrive and I see other users are having similar problems

### 1/5 — What a mess

*2024-02-09, version 1.6.1*

So first you stop my batteries charging one night then the next night you randomly charge them in the evening. I’m going to need to remove Puredrive access to my inverter because clearly your app cannot be trusted.

### 2/5 — Works ok - seriously needs updating

*2024-01-09, version 1.5.9*

Good points:

Does what it needs to - but with caveats

Bad points

Reporting is inaccurate 
Doesn’t give users full control of the battery
Logs out after a few hours

Puredrive have said they would update this app for nearly a year now and it still hasn’t been. They have been one of the worst companies I’ve dealt with.

### 1/5 — No-one monitoring stability

*2023-04-09, version 1.5.6*

Midday on Maundy Thursday, and the app stopped working (for myself and a friend). It’ll be Tuesday after by the time this is resolved (at the earliest). Feels rather amateurish tbh
