Too expensive to purchase
Surely you understand that we are all trying to save money. Charging a premium for the app is counterintuitive
Expensive!
What is it with the annual charge? I don’t have a contract with the weather. A modest one off fee and people would pay it.
Not accurate
Wasted money, miles off the reality of the output and weather forecasts. Nice interface, but defo not worth £4.00 GBP. Let alone £40.
Geometrie stimmt leider nicht
Die App soll den Gesamtertrag von bis zu 4 Teilanlagen mit unterschiedlichen Ausrichtungen berechnen, das ist zunächst vielversprechend. Aber wie kann es sein, dass an einem wolkenlosen Tag mit Sonnenuntergang um 20:40 die Prognose um 15:00 einbricht und um 16:00 auf null ist, trotz Ausrichtung eines Teils der Anlage nach Südwesten? Das kann nicht sein, andere Apps weisen Ertrag bis nach 20:00 aus. Das kann nur auf ein fehlerhaftes geometrisches Modell schließen. Schade.

Only gives current day forecast
Only gives current day forecast unless you pay and loaded with ads. Worthless
Freie Version ist sehr begrenzt
Nur 1 Tag. Nur 1 Feld.
Naja….
Die Prognosen und die Realität sind sehr weit entfernt.
Puzzling
This App isn’t as intuitive as I’d hoped. Dealing with two arrays on different orientated roof pitches wasn’t simple to configure - only one can be viewed at a time.
I’d like to be able to display the combined generation forecast and see that on a single screen as both strings are connected through a common inverter. The displayed data is not clear to me yet; how i can utilise it in the best way in terms of making decisions about whether to force charge/discharge batteries or not. Early days, but not the easiest to understand by a reasonably informed householder to enable useful decision-making.

Nicht genau
Ich weiß nicht, von welchen Servern sich die App die lokalen Wetterdaten zieht, aber sie decken sich nicht mit den einschlägigen Wetter-Apps, so dass die Vorhersagen oft nur gewürfelt erscheinen. Die Ertragsprognosen sind, trotz korrekter Eintragung der PV Daten leider.grnauso gewürfelt.
Can’t use as it crashed after location permission
Tried the app over a seven day period. Can’t get passed the location permissions before it crashed. Tried deleting and reinstalling but still the same.
Great app but too big for RV
App seems very useful for setup and testing of an rv system. However it’s monthly derive fee is high for my application. I see they made an RV lite version for android but nothing for iOS. I’d be willing to pay a one time fee but not subscription. I just wouldn’t use it enough.
A smaller version to allow 50-800watt systems would be nice

Bit glitchy
Crashes a good few times when using it.
Says $39 for a year about £30 but if you try and buy it it really costs £41 bit of a rip of.

Poor at best
Data inaccurate and way to expensive. it looks like it’s been created by an amateur.
Broken
Instantly crashes and closes useless
Totally useless waste of $40
Change “ forecast “ during a day , can remember your setting, is there anything good about it? I don’t see it after 2 months of using.
Crashes on startup
Have to give this one star, I’d love it to work but it crashes immediately on startup as soon as you install it.
Terrible app
Firstly you can’t even setup the app without being interrupted with pop up adds
Secondly the settings are ambiguous is it Solar capacity is it your battery capacity, be clearer in your settings
