VictronConnect 4+

Overall the app looks nice and works well. But it’s missing a critical feature. When the trends feature is running it deletes all of the loaded data the moment you check a text, check something on the Internet etc. It does not run in the background so you have to let it sit there for hours with that part of the app open and the setting on that keeps the page from going dim snd not touch it. If you don’t all of your data is lost immediately. This is extremely unhelpful as this would be among the most useful features of this app. Please, please, please make it run in the background as a choice so that I can watch what happens over hours or overnight. I would give this app five stars if this feature worked, but the most critical feature in the app basically doesn’t work. Please sort this basic function out.

From what I have seen Victron by far has the best remote monitoring out there. I have been using this app for several years and have added more and more devices to it over time. . .every one of them works flawlessly. . .several smart solar mppt’s, BMV-712, battery temperature sensor, all connected to the Cerbo s gx. I even have a Victron blue solar IP65 battery charger being used with this app. This app shows all information I possibly need including history and trends both real time and 30 days past. . .it does not need to be running to view past trends unlike other reviews state. All the important information at a glance upon opening the Home Screen. Depending on the device being used there is a plethora of information to be viewed and does take time to learn, discover and navigate all of it. Works great through local Bluetooth as well as when away from home through internet connection with the Cerbo. Overall great app!

Overall satisfaction with the app is decent but some improvements need to be made including: 1) background settings. App shouldn’t lose the history immediately upon exiting app. Give us an hour or even half hour of logging when logging mode is turned on. 2) horizontal mode! No reason the app can adapt to horizontal tiles when the phone is tilted. 3) Dark mode. No reason app can’t be responsive to the phones dark mode setting. 4) live widgets. 5) the app should be able to open the user manuals for each piece of hardware.
