Functional - Android Version Better
This app works, basically as it is supposed to. But it’s not nearly as responsive as the android version and not as responsive as I would like.
The energizer that this app controls is absolutely amazing! But it becomes more of a frustrating tool using this version of this app.
Even comparing the android version on a ancient economy phone with a very low end phone plan, this version, in a new phone with a premium phone plan is quite a bit less responsive.
That said, it’s still better than not having the ability to control and monitor the fence. The notifications are the slowest part of the iOS version, maybe I get one notification on the iPhone where I get 10-20 on an Android phone.

Great Energizer - Disappointing App
This energizer is a game changer, but the IOS version of the app is lacking and not very responsive. I have the same app on Android devices and even with significantly older hardware and low-cost MVNO carriers, they still beat the IOS version every time.
Only about one action out of five seems to be recognized in the IOS version of the app and when you just want to turn the fence off quickly, step over the electric net fencing and into the pasture to quickly turn it back on it is very frustrating when it lags so dramatically.
The whole reason why is this energizer and app has the potential to change everything is that young animals need to never come across the netting (or fence) non-energized and therefore are trained quicker and better than a traditional energizer that can take a long time to walk to and turn off and on. With the lag, the whole effectiveness is frustrated.
UPDATE: The most recent version improves responsiveness quite a bit. Still not as quick as Android version, but improving. I still get no notifications (low voltage on fence, or fence turned on or off) with the iOS version, but works consistently with the Android app. If you have a choice, only use the Android app for the WiFi energizers.

Works half the time
Is great when the app actually turns off the fence charger. Works probably 50% of the time. Seems like a lack of response or development for the app. Hope it gets better. Might just go with my old school fence charger...
