Ratings and Reviews
Great Idea 4/10 for execution
I was an early adopter of this app and system.
The idea is fabulous but ....
I tried to limit this to an IPad Air for connectivity. For a few weeks it worked holding details of Journey and displaying engine info. I also synced to my IPhone to check fuel in the boat before coming to the boat.
Then everything crashed for no reason I had to reset up everything and lost all my history. Sync basically doesn’t work properly.
Engine readout is always accurate but since this has now crashed and wiped its self 5 times I can’t trust it to hold my Journey info and must immediately resort to a paper record after the trip.
Sync is the slowest I have ever seen and seems to lock up constantly.
So if Volvo can sort out Sync across devices and make it reliable - this is a fabulous App. As a spare and remote set of Gauges and engine diags real-time it is excellent and has never failed.
Volvo Penta Connect
Connects seamlessly with my EVC D4 engines . Allows me to monitor all my important gauges on the fly bridge. As an added bonus logs all my journeys through my navigation app including hours run on each engine and plotted journeys. Highly recommended.
Volvo ‘Impossible to connect’
The most useless app ever - it is completely impossible to connect to. The app gives a nano second to input the Bluetooth passkey and then defaults to ‘unable to connect - passkey incorrect’. Happens on iPhone and iPad - utterly useless and a waste of £300. Don’t waste your money.
