Ratings and reviews

Please allow stored favorites! I have four batteries that I switch between and it is rather annoying to have to find the Bluetooth broadcast signal every time I want to switch between the same four batteries. So if there was a way to save those batteries to favorites and quickly jump between them then you will get 5 stars. Please add feature!

Edit: The app can now see my two BMSs and the app shows the version mentioned by the developer. However, it cannot connect to the devices and read data from them. I tried uninstalling and re-installing with the same result. I get the message "no connected BMS". I, too, am having the problem that others are experiencing. The app continuously scans for Bluetooth devices but never finds anything. Due to company permissions on my new phone, I can only use apps from the Google Play Store.

Works well, needs a bit more refining, but its a new app so sure its coming. When i turned off charging the app froze and I had to restart. It did stop the charging though. At first I couldnt connect, but the BT was activated from the Xioxang app which i had opened first. I restarted my phone and it connected right away. The bluetooth works from much further away than my Victron hardware, which us neat. The bluetooth power must be cranked up.
