Ratings and reviews

Went from a good, professional looking user interface to cheap and ugly looking. The spaboy page looks like it was copied from a kids game. This app is not showing the status of the tub (heating, filtering, etc.) At times I hear the tub running for no apparent reason, but if I go out and check the panel on the tub, it says it's heating. The app is not showing that. On the positive side, the app is no longer crashing.

When I set my router to channel 6, and connected the spa to it, it seemed to have a better connection but still wouldn't work sometimes. When I tried to connect the tub to my wifi router it never seemed to stay connected. I then saw that you need to set your wifi router to channel 6. I decided on hard ethernet wire to my router instead bc the"globalspa" password is not configurable. Anyone that sees and arctic WAP, can connect to it, and if it's connected to your home wifi, they now have free access to your internet (very insecure). With hard wire the app connects reliably. For app improvements, I would suggest to add a save button on the power management (main and peak hours) page and a popup that the settings were saved. It seems that a lot of times my changes wouldn't save when I backed out and came back to the window to look at the settings again. It never saves if you use "< Power Management" button on the top left. I had to use my phone's back arrow to get it to save. Arctic should trash the wifi router option and just add a quality powerline ethernet adapters to the spas, this would be more secure and reliable and shouldn't have as much problems as wifi.

It works - sometimes. Given the price point of our "Custom" series tub I expected more. The design is really bad and sometimes it just doesn't work even though I can access the tub from the web site. We really deserve better both in the app and on the web site. Update 10-31-2021 They made a fix and now it's working on Android 14. Thanks for the quick action. It's still lacking in functionality.
