### 1/5 — Spend thousands on the blue kit

*2026-08-24, version 6.40*

Absolute joke, thousands of pounds spent, for what? The app is shocking software terrible. It’s like they have given the app design and system integration to a 5 year old to design. Truly terrible.

### 5/5 — Works well

*2026-08-13, version 6.40*

Great app, but it geared towards more technology advanced users. That’s the reason for the bad reviews.

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2026-08-09, version 6.40*

The Bluetooth connection was fine for years but an update has stopped it working and the default doesn’t connect.

### 1/5 — To hell with victron

*2026-07-31, version 6.40*

Way too complicated

### 4/5 — Good App but text way too small

*2026-07-28, version 6.40*

Good app. Good functionality. Missing export feature when reading history. 

Also text is way too small to read voltages, current, date, time, etc

### 1/5 — Update

*2026-07-21, version 6.40*

List complete contact with my system.

### 5/5 — Bring in Apple Carplay function please !!!

*2026-07-21, version 6.40*

Awesome app amd products but why Apple carplay is not there ? Cmone guys!

### 1/5 — New update broke my setup

*2026-07-10, version 6.34*

Every update gets more flakey
Cannot connect to my Orion tr anymore over Bluetooth.

This company and products have gone down hill.

### 1/5 — App shows incorrect yield

*2026-07-08, version 6.34*

I’m testing my victron smart mppt 100/50. I’ve had it running for just under one hour. My solar panels are 350w and putting out 275w for the last hour. The app is showing yield as 630wh which is impossible given I have only been running my panels for slightly less than an hour. All other figures seem correct but yield is way off.

### 1/5 — Used to work heat

*2026-07-04, version 6.34*

Used to work great. Now it won’t pair.
