Ratings and reviews

The app finds and connects to the fridge after a restart of my phone but often fails to reconnect later. The app finds the fridge when I tell it to connect but it never connects. Restart the phone and it works again. This is clearly an app issue and not the transmitter or fridge. It would also be good if the app indicated what voltage limits are used for the low, med, high battery protection modes.

Software is barely functional. I have it hooked up to my Series 2 60L and initially it connected fine but staying connected is nearly impossible. Anytime you close the app and have to reconnect to your fridge it fails 9 out of 10 times. Even repeating set up completely doesn't always guarantee it connecting. It takes anywhere from 1 minute to 10 minutes refreshing and reconnecting to the fridge before it takes. Definitely not worth it. Especially if your out in the middle of nowhere!

Absolute crud. Will never reconnect to your fridge once you exit the app and I've found that the only way to get a connection is to reinstall the app and restart your phone. Hope you didn't pay for the connect unit because this app is utter garbage and makes the sender unit worthless. Clearly ARB is doing nothing to sort the issues out because the same problems have been reported here for years now.
