Ratings and reviews

The user experience is hot garbage, whomever designed this, managed this, and signed off on this should ne taken to task. There is absolutely no reason for me to have to click on so many things to simply turn off the generator via Bluetooth. BT, GPS, make sure the GPS has a fix, open app, click the Off Button, Confirm, back, back, THEN get a notification that the bluetooth is disconnected AND have to swipe close the notification. What the actual F are you guys doing over there? Fix this mess.

I have a Samsung S-7 android. All the functions are covered by the grey bar at bottom. Only thing that shows is the big watts dial. They need to a lot of work on this app. It was extreamly hard to connect up to bluetooth took many tries. I expected better from Honda. Why not just have displays on the front like the rest of the generators. This stuff seems to always have problems. Hope they get it fixed. Update the software developer contacted me and fixed what ever the problem was. It works now.

The app works ok for what it is. Two very irritating things: it's called "My Generator" in the phone's app listing, which is hard to remember for the couple times a year I need it. I'd rather it start with the word "Honda". Secondly, the app puts a non-dismissable notification on your phone titled "Bluetooth service". That needs to go away.
