Not getting any readings. ### 3/5 — Says update needed, no update available *2026-08-13, version 1.6.5* App is OK with some quirks, but it keeps demanding an update, while no update is available in the App Store. Please provide an update, or get rid of this repeat annoying message ### 3/5 — Fairly good at monitoring *2026-07-14, version 1.6.5* First the good. The APP is able to recognize multiple BMS vendors BT radios and provide a list of JUST batteries. User is able to “name” each battery with this APP. The not-so-good? This is a simple monitor only APP which I have not been able to change anything other than “name” on my battery’s. In the last 6 months the app reports “new version available” but tapping ether “ok” or “cancel” get the same nothing result. ### 4/5 — Maybe new version is JBD BMS? *2026-07-08, version 1.6.5* Is this the old version and the new version is JBD BMS? ### 3/5 — Horrible *2026-07-05, version 1.6.5* Not a lot of options, fake “update” warning you can’t get rid of. ### 4/5 — Message doesn’t go away *2026-06-09, version 1.6.5* I like it but I’m having the same problem - when I open the app, it says “update available”, but when I click on it, nothing happens, and now every time I open the app I get the same “update available” message. ### 4/5 — Update Available??? *2026-05-30, version 1.6.5* When I open the app, I receive a message that there is an app update available. When I click on update app, nothing happens. When I go to the Apple App store, there is not an update for the app. Also, on of my two LiFePO4 batteries that I have wired in parallel is no longer showing a status on this app. So I no longer have a lot of trust in this app after using it with no problems over the past 10 months. ### 3/5 — Why does it not update? *2026-05-26, version 1.6.5* The functionality is decent, meaning I get what I need which is status and some control of my battery. But the app says new update available and kicks me out to only need to log back in and there is no way of updating. Now the app connects and then disconnects within 5 seconds. ### 3/5 — Works(mostly) *2026-05-22, version 1.6.5* So far everything has worked as expected but now when I open app it says a new version is available but will not let me open/ download or anything? ### 3/5 — Update available spam *2026-05-18, version 1.6.5* Every-time i enter the app it shows update available, but there is nothing i can update in the app. Its annoying. Please fix it ### 2/5 — Super buggy *2026-05-03, version 1.6.5* You can look at your basic info but I am constantly being locked out so I am unable to control the battery. ### 2/5 — Why does it not update? *2026-04-21, version 1.6.5* The functionality is decent, meaning I get what I need which is status and some control of my battery. But the app says new update available and kicks me out to only need to log back in and there is no way of updating. ### 2/5 — Clunky ( when it works ) Disaster when it doesn’t! *2026-04-18, version 1.6.5* Took a long time to get started with the app, it’s about the most unintuitive thing I’ve ever used. Then you have to teach yourself how to use it because there’s no help. Then there’s the pointless waiting to be ‘authorised’ to set parameters. Just when you think you have it sorted you add your second battery ( bms ) and realise it just got a whole lot clunkier and difficult, and nothing works as it did before! In desperation you try logging out and logging back in ( DONT TRY IT! ) and you’re locked out even though you put the right password in. So you try to reset your password and it asks for a verification code, which you try to get but they don’t send one! Game Over! Now locked out of my two bms’s with no clue how to put it right. ### 1/5 — Decent app *2026-03-31, version 1.6.5* Really its a great app the only reason it gets 2 stars is that you have to "Apply for authorization" to set parameters on the battery you bought and own. Its been several weeks and I am still not authorized to manage my own battery and the message reads "There are already pending applications, please be patient". Tf is that? Patient is a couple hours or days, not weeks! ### 1/5 — Постоянно показывает потребление тока *2026-03-06, version 1.6.5* Постоянно показывает потребление тока. Даже когда аккумулятор отключаем показывает потребление 31в. При Натом напряжение батареи не падает. Как решить вопрос? ### 1/5 — HORRIBLE *2026-03-02, version 1.6.5* horrible. Even lies and says it’s updated and now has a notification every time I use it…but THERE IS NO UPDATE. Garbage ### 1/5 — Не устанавливается приложение , требует банковскую карту *2026-02-04, version 1.6.5* Почему требует данные карты банковской? Приобрели батарею а установить приложение невозможно! Внесите пожалуйста изменения в приложение ### 3/5 — Good BMS Friendly interface V1.6.5 *2026-02-03, version 1.6.5* Did buy several model of JBD Brand BMS and manage with the Xiaoxiang App one show advance setting but some others model BMS from different Vendor is not showing advance control ( in Settings )and click in App to Device Management ( it say authorization pending ) be patient. But after several days still no authorization/ no advance setting . You have to create an account and ( Bind the BMS to the account ) to enable advance control and Graphics. But it does take Time / few days and sometimes look like their Authorization is broken , meaning the App . Do not let the manager used and see Graphic and advance in Settings. ### 2/5 — Работа приложения *2026-01-26, version 1.6.5* Перестало видеть аккумулятор , невозможно добавить по названию , qr тоже не работает , хотя у друга всё работает 😡 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Wont let me change controls on battery just says i dont have permission *2026-08-20, version 1.6.6* Sucks ### 1/5 — No data display *2026-08-18, version 1.6.6* Every thing zero out after the update. No control to the BMS ### 1/5 — Won’t update and no permission *2026-07-05, version 1.6.5* It’s nice to see how full my battery is and the life cycle of charges. But I got no operating permission to switch battery on or off ### 1/5 — App update *2026-06-28, version 1.6.5* Unfortunately I’m having the same issues with other users. Says there an app update but when I click on it, nothing happens. I can connect to my device but only for a few seconds before the app disconnects ### 1/5 — Very poor app! *2026-06-16, version 1.6.5* Keep telling me there is a new update. Twice a week. When l agree to get the latest version there hasn’t been one for a year! I have to login with my password again for no reason! Very frustrating faulty blue tooth software!!! ### 1/5 — It keeps saying update available *2026-05-19, version 1.6.5* The app keeps saying an update is available for the battery, but it never updates. Also I requested access to balance cells and see other settings over a year ago and it says “a request is pending” but it actually had access once when first installed which has since disappeared. The battery works - this app is junk ### 1/5 — Not sure which is worse *2026-05-13, version 1.6.5* App and battery - app won’t load info and battery won’t charge. Ogrphy and this app are both 1 star or less ### 1/5 — Needs work *2026-05-09, version 1.6.5* This app needs alot of work. Does not save your graphs. Does not explain how to use it. You have to apply for permission all the time which is stupid. What happens if the battery is off and you have no internet to turn it on. You are screwed. ### 1/5 — Needs work *2026-05-08, version 1.6.5* It doesn’t let you name or number the batteries and I have 2 separate inverters so it would be nice to monitor the battery levels and not have to guess what battery is hooked up to what. Also the batteries always disconnect and have trouble connecting. ### 1/5 — Very dated look *2026-04-05, version 1.6.5* Although the app works it’s so old looking. If I had seen how bad this app looks I would have gone with a different battery brand. Compared to other apps I’m surprised it’s not in black and white. Hopefully they will update it one day. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — perfect *2026-05-11, version 1.6.5* 2 years and no problem ### 5/5 — Work fine *2025-09-20, version 1.6.5* Great app no issues I love the discharge on and off setting makes it more safe ### 5/5 — 良き *2025-07-28, version 1.6.5* 良き ### 5/5 — Protect Param.. *2025-07-14, version 1.6.5* Nella App non vedo la finestra Protect Param.. il bms é in underVoltage e non si attiva.. Si può risolvere? ### 5/5 — Perfekt *2025-06-14, version 1.6.5* Ich habe mir gestern die App heruntergeladen nach Einbau der neuen 330ah Lifepo4. Gute Anzeige, Lade-und Entladeschalter können entgegen anderer Rezensionen auch deaktiviert werden. Daten der Anzeige identisch zu dem angeschlossenen Victron smartshunt. Also alles fein bisher. ### 5/5 — App *2025-04-11, version 1.6.5* Works great so far ### 5/5 — Password reset issues *2025-04-01, version 1.6.5* Unable to reset my password!!! Whenever you fill out the email information and request the reset code it doesn’t send the reset email. Please fix it so I can set the controls for my batteries!!! Other than that it’s a great app ### 5/5 — Add feature *2025-01-16, version 1.6.5* Seems to work good but a nice feature would be a push notification when the battery stops charging this is helpful when my panels are in shade or at sunset and battery power kicks on so I can cut back my appliance use ### 5/5 — All goods *2024-11-14, version 1.6.1* All goods. But please put reset protection counts. ### 5/5 — Control 無法使用 *2024-09-17, version 1.5.9* 電池無法開關 只能把插頭.. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
