Ratings and reviews

I've been using this app for several years now since its MFG recommend. it was fairly easy to setup although a couple of bugs but ok. in the beginning it was fair, was able to login pretty quickly & live & history was slow & typically timed out once in a while. Graphics & layout easy to read not too much info, straight forward. Fast forward, it's turned into a worthless app. It times out 50 times out of 51 tries to long in. & times out once login. Sad.

If this reliably connected I would absolutely give it 5 stars, but it does not. The only reason I went with this charge controller over others was for the ability to remotely monitor my battery voltage and charge rate. More than 50% of the time it will not connect. Try again 1 minute or 20 minutes later and it might. Seems they need to devote more effort to their cloud server functionality. This could be great, but it is too buggy to recommend or even show to a friend. Good luck fixing it!

Three years later: Stopped connecting to see real time status. Now it only updates when I hit the refresh button. No more real time as before and won't even connect half the time. Disappointed.. Don't get the GCSOAR controller for the wifi connectivity. 2 years ago: Working good, times out every once in a while, but not enough to be a problem. Happy so far. Nice being able to monitor my system from anywhere. 2 months later, still times out on occasion.
