Après plusieurs tentatives il accepte en liaison directe avec un iPhone.... utilisation médiocre en eau douce. Je regrette cet achat !! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on Ipad *2020-12-16, version 1.4.6* The control screen buttons are now missing on the IPAD. You can NOT adjust any pumps settings now on IPAD devices. They screwed up the screen size and the “preset” and “advanced” buttons are hidden. Typical developer breaks apps with poorly tested updates. ### 1/5 — Un passo indietro *2020-12-09* Dall’ultimo aggiornamento non funziona più correttamente! I pulsanti sono fuori dallo schermo Non si riesce più a modificare manualmente le tipologie di flusso Non c’è più il pulsante trasmetti Ogni volta che si modifica un valore l’app non risponde più e si è costretti ad uscire e poi a riaprirla Ci sono solo impostazioni automatiche Insomma è veramente un disastro rispetto a quello che faceva prima....chiaramente tutto questo mio commento cadrà nel vuoto ...😩 ### 1/5 — Neue Version funktioniert nicht mehr zur Steuerung der Etheral *2020-11-29* Die Entwickler zwingen einem eine neue Version mit „Fehlerbehebungen „ auf und machen die App zum Teil unbenutzbar. Vielen Dank ### 1/5 — 😡Non funziona correttamente *2020-11-25* Da rifare subito un altro aggiornamento.... non si vedono più le ore impostate e le percentuali..... 😡 ### 2/5 — Update broke the app *2020-11-23, version 1.4.6* My light is unusable since the newest app update. Tablet or phone it will now show the whole screen. It also does not show the times for the schedule any longer. I cannot change the scheduler in manual mode any more either. ### 2/5 — Naja *2020-11-22* War vorher schon nicht der wirklich gut. Nach dem neuen Update geht nix mehr. Toll für 1500€ Lampen und Pumpen und nix geht. 👍 ### 1/5 — Absolute Rubbish *2020-11-22, version 1.4.6* I've never seen a poorer thought out app absolutely confusing slow and buggy if I want to reconnect to another device I have close the app and then connect otherwise it doesn't connect. I would of thought maxspect would of made this app better and more stable come on guys you have excellent hardware however your lacking on the app side compared to competitors. ### 1/5 — Syna G *2020-11-21, version 1.4.6* Do not download the new app!! It doesn’t work. The button for feed is off the page. The percentage for lights has disappeared and you the timers for setting the lights don’t work anymore. Worst update ever! I literally can’t use my phone to do anything anymore ### 1/5 — 😤 *2020-11-21* Da risistemare, dall’ultimo aggiornamento non risponde bene. ### 1/5 — Seit dem letzten Update unbrauchbar *2020-11-21* Seit dem letzten Update ist es nicht mehr möglich die Schaltzeiten anzupassen. Wenn man auf eine vorhandene Uhrzeit drückt, erscheint zwar wie immer das PopUp, jedoch ist das PopUp, wo normalerweise die Uhrzeit eingestellt werden kann, leer. ### 1/5 — Garbage device, garbage app. *2020-11-15, version 1.4.5* Doesn’t connect to the network properly, and when it does, controls are so limited that it’s hardly worth bothering with. App hasn’t been updated in over a year either. Obviously abandoned. Thanks MaxSpect! ### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne pas *2020-11-04* Malgré la dernière version, la réinitialisation des DEL, un bon réseau wifi et 4G, impossible d’utilsier l’application. ### 1/5 — IOS 14 *2020-09-19* Wifi-Setup stürzt nach Eingabe des WLAN-Passwortes ab. ### 1/5 — Inutilisable *2020-04-09* Connection impossible en passant par un routeur. Nom du réseau wifi faux. Impossible à changer ### 1/5 — Connexion problem *2020-02-23, version 1.4.5* Connexion fail most of the time ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App is awful *2026-01-19, version 1.4.9* The hardware is fine- does the job, but the app is terrible. Constantly freezing, unable to access the controller even when right next to it in the room so not an interference issue. The interface and flexibility of programme are also lacking - expect more from a £400 investment… sort it out Maxspect! ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2024-08-29, version 1.4.9* Bought the WiFi controller set up on the app won’t connect to the app won’t connect to the router. When connecting to the phone says connected but won’t connect to the unit. Returning for a refund. Not impressed Maxspect ### 1/5 — Don’t buy a gyre cloud *2024-03-31, version 1.4.8* This app is awful. For such a high end and expensive pump, this app is a massive disappointment. The app keeps crashing and I can’t setup a schedule. The controller constantly disconnects from the WiFi. I will never buy a gyre product again- and I hope people are luckier than me and read these reviews before dropping the $300+ ### 1/5 — Zero connection! *2023-03-17, version 1.4.8* This is the most frustrating app ever! For the cost of the products associated with this app, there should be 80% less headaches. Trying to connect the ICV6 controller is a nightmare. When and if the controller stays connected before timing out, you then need to fight to get the products to recognize the app and connect to it, if you get them to connect you then get the fun of trying to get them to open (without timing out of course). After 5 years of this app being available, you’d think the bugs would have been figured out by now. It’s absolutely useless. ### 1/5 — App needs to be updated *2021-12-19, version 1.4.8* I can’t scroll and select all the presets for my gyre. ### 1/5 — Application non testée *2021-11-17* Cette application est non seulement peu intuitive mais surtout bourré de bugs qui en expliquent les nombreux disfonctionnements Joyeux bordel et amateurisme traduisent un mépris étonnant du client alors sie le contrôleur manuel et les pompes Maxspect sont excellents sans discussion ### 1/5 — Impossible à connecter *2021-02-23* 2h passé à suivre minutieusement le mode d’installation mais rien y fais impossible à connecter vraiment dessus , surtout au prix de la rampe et du boîtier . ### 1/5 — Dommage *2021-01-03* Pas optimisé pour les iPhone 11 les commandes sont en dehors de l’écran dommage au prix du matériel ### 1/5 — Aggiornamento scandaloso *2021-01-01* Ma chi vi fa da programmatore? Paperino?! ### 1/5 — Crap app *2020-12-30, version 1.4.6* Have 15 xf350’s to control. This app is worthless. Locks up constantly, can’t do much with it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very Good App. *2021-11-12, version 1.4.8* . ### 5/5 — No problems *2018-12-05, version 1.3.9* Updated the firmware of the ICV6 and RSX lighting and having no problems at all. ### 5/5 — Excelent! *2018-05-22* Very nice app, works like a charm with my 2 Maxspect Recurve lights! Can I suggest just one thing? Since I enjoy to mimic moonlight at night time, I put 1% of F channel. But I think 1% it’s too much light for a night period. I guess it must be a nice and easy new function to add in future releases! Maybe with less number of leds staying on in 1% (judging you could not bring leds to 0,5% of power). Thank you! ### 5/5 — Maxspect ethereal *2016-11-01, version 1.1.2* Was a little tricky to figure out at first but a few YouTube videos later and I'm very happy with the product and the app. Thanks guys! ### 5/5 — Love this app. *2016-04-27, version 1.0.3* Some teething problems with firmware and so on but once it was up and running it was fantastic. Love it! ### 4/5 — Reglage en mode deconnecté *2021-10-30* Bonjour est il envisagé de pouvoir programmer sans avoir a se connecter Par exemple quand deux telephone different ne sont pas sur place ### 4/5 — In Verbindung mit RSX 200 und gyre fx 330 *2020-11-18* Top zufrieden, man kann alles einstellen genau so wie man es braucht, Bewertungen von anderen die älter als ein Jahr sind braucht man nicht beachten! Würde mir jederzeit wieder den icv 6 Controller holen und mein nächstes Aquarium wird auch wieder damit ausgestattet wenn es den endlich kommt . ### 4/5 — Bien *2017-07-19* Après la dernière mise jour c est nettement plus aisé à régler. Points négatifs :tout est en anglais, et impossible de grouper les deux lampes, donc réglage séparé. En revanche c est très facile maintenant de régler la luminosité 😀 ### 3/5 — Spanish *2018-06-28* Creo que la aplicación ya debería estar en español también. Me parece un atraso por parte de esta marca de no incluir este idioma en la aplicación y en la página oficial. ### 2/5 — Tom *2021-02-16, version 1.4.7* The App mostly works but is at best clunky. Take a look at Möbius or the AI control app for some design tips 😢 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
