Missing export feature when reading history. Also text is way too small to read voltages, current, date, time, etc ### 3/5 — Good hardware, software's functional, but the Bluetooth connection UI feels clunky and slow. *2026-06-20* No major gripes, Victron is well and truly on the right track and has a well proven record. The Bluetooth connection popup is kind of frustrating, it probably doesn't need to be a seperate modal dialogue. I'm finding it has to reconnect way too frequently even when the device is still within Bluetooth range. Just a suggestion, why not put the circle connection animation where the main Watt display goes and a hideable connecting message somewhere that doesn't clobber the UI? Doing that will help reduce the impact of the delay reestablishing Bluetooth connection. If your not doing it already, might also be a good idea to use another thread for reestablishing the connection in the background so the interface is seamless. As a user, I don't mind outdated data timestamped a minute ago if it means not seeing the ugly popup, as long as something indicates it's reconnecting. ### 2/5 — Latest update definitely broke something *2026-05-29, version 6.33* Was working great. But ever since 6.31 I can’t even connect to any of my victron stuff. It shows everything in the app but when I try to connect to any one thing it gets stuck in an endless loading loop. Goes to 90 percent then back to 0 ### 3/5 — Please make a iPhone widget for this app *2026-05-29, version 6.33* Lacking widget . It’s 2026 ### 4/5 — Fonctionnel *2026-05-21* Fonctionne bien mais par pitié ajoutez des widgets 😭 ### 4/5 — Fondamentale ma *2026-04-06, version 6.32* Metto 4 stelle per attirare la vostra attenzione. Funziona tutto benissimo ma manca la produzione annua sui regolatori solari e le entrate e uscite dell’anno sugli smartshunt. Secondo me sono dati importanti da avere per monitorare i consumi ### 4/5 — Needs dark mode *2026-03-31, version 6.32* Great app! Screen is very bright in dimly lit rooms. Other Victron apps have dark mode settings. This one needs it too. Thanks for making great products! ### 3/5 — Fehler beim connecten mit Solarreglern *2026-03-25, version 6.31* Version 6.31 hat Probleme beim Verbinden mit Solarreglern bzw. Updaten. ### 2/5 — Perdita dati *2026-03-25, version 6.31* Dopo l’ultimo aggiornamento non si riesce più a visualizzare la cronologia dei dati! Riceva sempre in continuo i dati senza risultato! ### 3/5 — Latest update broke it *2026-03-25, version 6.31* The latest update (6.31) broke the trends and history graphs features just continuously says loading trends or fetching data . And only displays trends from when app is opened. ### 3/5 — Not as solid as the hardware *2026-03-17* So I expected the software to be as good as the hardware but alas this is not the case. There appears to be no way to manage easily the Orion settings, such as to rename or delete. And if you name a setting more than a few characters you can’t see the whole name when you go to load. It. Also bluetooth sometimes will not connect as if the device is busy. And as it’s so hard to manage the settings files why not save them as something portable like csv. Oh, and sometimes you go to save settings you have imported and it gives you the name of the file, other times randomly it does not, e.g when you want to overwrite the file with an update ### 1/5 — Absolutely Useless *2026-03-12, version 6.30* Some magical password was apparently created and locked the settings for a device. Guess what? YOU CAN’T FREAKING RESET THE PASSWORD. Directs you to its useless website that STILL doesn’t offer any assistance. ### 3/5 — It WAS Great *2026-03-11, version 6.30* Before the update, I could see each individual device in my system. Now, I gotta watch their stupid little animation drawing. Not impressed at all. Bring back the screen that I can see all of my devices at once. Those give me more information. ### 1/5 — Latest update terrible *2026-03-10, version 6.30* Will not let you connect remotely via VRM. Keeps cycling and you are stuck. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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 ### 1/5 — Update *2026-07-21, version 6.40* List complete contact with my system. ### 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. ### 1/5 — Not very good! *2026-06-25, version 6.34* This app is a disaster…it frequently disconnects and fails. When it does connect it usually drops after a few moments! ### 1/5 — Last update broke history and trends *2026-03-28, version 6.31* History and trends no longer work as of 6.31. Need a fix … ### 1/5 — Dernière mise à jour *2026-03-26, version 6.31* Bug…..dans l’onglet tendance. Aucune donnée apparaît merci de revoir ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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! ### 5/5 — 6 years going strong *2026-06-14, version 6.34* All going well can’t complain. ### 5/5 — It’s gotten to the point where this is as good being there *2026-03-31, version 6.32* This app is now able to give you acres to just about everything you could do via website or onsite. Can be used to connect locally and to installations over the VRM portal. ### 5/5 — Easy to read *2026-03-21* Came preinstallled on my NuCamp Tab 360. Extremely easy to understand and read. Very helpful in knowing what your system is using and how much it is charging. Not at all solar or electrically capable beyond replacing a few outlets but this apps helps me feel like I know what’s going on and helps me keep an eye on my electrical usage and needs. Love it. ### 5/5 — Not perfect but the best *2026-03-03* When you’ve had experience with quality alternative power systems like I have you’ll soon find that Victron is by far the best. It’s not perfect and has some minor glitches but the team at blue is forever working hard to bring you the best experience anyone has to offer. ### 5/5 — Et quand Carplay? *2026-02-28, version 6.30* Déjà intégré dans Android Auto ### 5/5 — Firmware update *2026-02-19, version 6.24* Seems the iOS firmware update works properly, unlike the Android app one. ### 5/5 — Thanks *2025-12-05, version 6.24* for your quick response and fixing the BMV-600S issue. ### 5/5 — Çok Kullanışlı *2025-11-23, version 6.23* Bütün Smart Victron Ürünlerini tek app üzerinden kullanmak ve bütün Özelliklerini kontrol edebilmek + Kullandğınız ürünleri app üzerinden Update yapabilmek çok güzel, Herkeze tafsiye ederim 👍 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
