Worst app I’ve ever used for anything
As a prior review, said the app does not show individual cell voltage when originally when I bought my Battery a couple years ago it did and then they wiped it. My guess is they probably did not want people to see how poor the balancing is. So I updated this new version thinking oh OK. Maybe it’s better. NOPE! It replaced my old app that at least showed some info but now this new app update won’t even populate any data! From day 1, Worst app EVER!
I also downloaded the Overkill Solar app The BMS would show up there but no such luck. Not a great experience at all with this Battery which is a shame as I was planning to buy a few more. I know they make other products, but I will never buy anything from Vestwoods again.

Doesn’t Work
…ar ALL!
It used to have cell voltage but update removed it.
1/6/2025 UPDATE - Use the Pow Bank app by the same developer to get the telemetry for the 100AH battery.
8/8/2024 UPDATE - I keep awaiting updates that make the telemetry work again but every update does not work like it used to. Very disappointed.

Garbage
Doesn’t work at all I have 8 packs and none connect since new update . Now I have zero info on my packs. Terrible. Terrible. Terrible. When will you fix it ?
App not working anymore
The app was never very good to begin with, but at least you could connect to each battery and make sure of its charge state. Now it doesn’t populate any data on the app. Due to this when I bought four additional batteries, I did not buy the same brand of battery. I changed brands
New version doesn’t work
Old version had issues connecting from time to time, but I have not been able to get the redesigned app to work. The individual cell voltages missing is a real disappointment. Overall one big fail. I will not be recommending this battery anymore.
Completely Useless
Giving this app one Star is being overly generous. Although the app was written in congee, at least the numbers could be derived and interpreted on the website. That was before an update in early 2024. Since then, I’ve been unable to log into the app at all, even when I enter in my email address for the app to send me a verification code to allow me to change my password. It’s probably just as well. The information in it had become so useless.

Latest app stops working! DO NOT UPDATE!
I had the older version it was working fine but the latest ones stops communicating with the battery anymore.

8/8/2024 UPDATE - I keep awaiting updates that make the telemetry work again but every update does not work like it used to. Very disappointed.
Latest Version Bluetooth not working
The App is not displaying any values when connecting via Bluetooth to the VESTWOODS 12V 240Ah LiFePO4 batteries.
Old version used to work
The current version no longer works. The old version from 2023 worked but after they updated it it no longer reads my battery.
Please fix app
This app used to work for my 300ah 12v lithium iron phosphate battery, but suddenly with an update it stopped working, and there doesn’t seem to be any other app that will connect to the vestwoods battery.
App just stopped working
I paid a premium to for two large 200AH batteries for my electric pontoon boat with Bluetooth app capabilities as I want to know my state of charge. With the latest update I can connect but get zero telemetry from the battery. It’s basically a dumb battery now and I feel like I was cheated. That’s what you get for trusting unknown brands.

Broken for batteries
Bought Li batteries just 1 yr ago - app now manually connects with bluetooth but all data is zeros. Worst programmers ever. Batteries seem to actually work okay, but omissions seem likely on purpose to avoid confusion and warranty claims…
Horrible app
Bought batteries June of 23 and downloaded this App. It worked but poorly like everyone says. Then the app auto updated in early April of 24 and now is completely non functional. Unable to see any data from my batteries even though I was able to get it to connect to each one. I bought the batteries because they had built in communication, but now I have none. Hopefully they will fix this app. But currently stay away from VESTWOODS batteries if your planning on this app for any type of monitoring.

Doesn’t work it’s complete garbage
App never worked then it updated and worked even less and now it updated again and I went from at least seeing the capacity and voltage to seeing absolutely no information at all, I bought this battery for its Bluetooth feature and that feature is not even available, i would never buy or recommend this battery to anyone

Just keeps getting worse
Latest update now shows the app name in Chinese. I have like 10 of their batteries and bought them in large part because of the app showing cell voltages and cycles. Now that stuff is gone making the app pretty useless.
Bring back the old version
Your new update cannot find your batteries. How do we check batteries and not power station?
Done
The app that was updated on my other phone NO LONGER WORKS!!! It’s in Chinese and now asks you to login AND location info?!? SHADY. Updating my Amazon review to reflect. Just terrible way to run a business.
New version doesn’t read battery data
Says. Standby
