Ratings and reviews

They have completely changed the app format again, with no warning. A complete dog's breakfast, cannot find how to change the State Of Charge SOC function for the battery. It was easy to find in the prior version. Completely not user friendly. No help function to help navigate the new format and settings. Alpha ESS is absolutely useless. You almost need a degree to navigate the new version. Go back to the prior version. Easy to navigate. If I could give a zero star rating, I would. A big failure

Was impressed with the old app. Can't comment on the new app because it's just an ongoing error. No data, no connection, no nuthin! Very impressed with the real time monitoring of the app. It seems accurate when I compare it to my enphase monitor. Developers! This app would be a 5 if it had a historical report of how much solar energy the system generated and how much energy it used. The graphs are nice but not as good without the amount for the day.

the graph needs to be solid. the line graph doesnt show as clearly as the previous version. also the settings-> time based control has an issue as i set certain times and to charge to 100% and then a few days later if I check again, it shows Charge to 0% or 90%. it needs to save what i set it as. also the rates of buy and sell logic and peak and off peak period needs to show the times after they have been set. nice to see the old daily stats are kinda back. was horrendous the first few days.
