Ratings and reviews

Creating an account was almost impossible. After the app crashed more than several times, I was able to finally create an account. The app crashed if you tried to edit the auto fill information if it was incorrect. It also crashed after selecting the country. Validation also did not work for email, only for mobile. As far as the inherent functionality of the app, it seems to be fine and accomplishes basic monitoring.

No issues getting app setup and shows water heater status. However, when changing modes or overriding the schedule, the system often gets stuck and won't transition. I have woken to cold showers when the schedule didn't transition to the next period. Sometimes it holds the previous period and heats water when I don't need it, which is frustrating since my electric provider is Time of Use based. I am unsure vacation mode actually does anything. It has potential but needs too much care and feeding

After using this app for a number of years, and going through all the updates where every update breaks something else and none of them ever worked 100% correctly, I needed to change my password on my router.....BUT!! guess what... it is now impossible to use this app "Rheem EcoNet"or the other "EcoNet" app to reconnect with any of my routers. The only way to reconnect was keep same password on the router and same SSID. ... it is now impossible to make any router changes in this water heater
