  • Lacking in many areas especially for the cost

    By Frosty1588
    The app has a lot of potential but lacks in just about every area. No logging available which would be great to customize a schedule based on logged temperatures and run times for pumps. The notifications are basically useless because of the hours long delay between the fault and when the notification appears. Again, a lot of potential but could offer much more in way of utility. Simply adding a heater and pump status in a logging form could help customers dial in their efficiency and allow for a more controlled customer feel. The cost of the accessory coupled with the lack of programming, feels like bullfrog just did the bare minimum to be able to say they offer such a device without really investing much into it.
  • Decent. But missing key features

    By Jake K1234
    Overall it’s decent, but needs upgrades: 1) An ability to set Away with a return time (for example set that I’m away until Sunday at 7pm) so it can save energy while I’m gone and be ready when I return. Today, I have to set an alarm on my phone to remind me to bring it back up 4-hours before I’m home from vacation. If I miss the alarm, I return to a cold tub. 2) Missing ability to set a lighting schedule (on at 7pm, off at 11pm. This would be great! 3) Why no history of heat or energy usage?? Everyone wants this. It’s why cats have MPG on the dash. Easy program to write and would be nice for techy people and to confirm we are running optimal. 4) Needs notification/alarm to cell feature should the temp drop 10 degrees below set point or lose power.

  • Very buggy, still.

    This app is very buggy. It works, kind of. The temperature used to be available when you launched the app, now it’s not and you have to wait like 5 mins to see the temp and then if you want to change the temp you have to hit a hidden slider and raise or lower it and wait another few minutes for that to actually register before closing the app otherwise nothing happens and you’ll think you’re heating or cooling the spa although you won’t be and you’ll end up screwed one way or another. Also the lock feature doesn’t seem to work because the exterior light on the spa continues to come on 10 times per day even though the app says the spa is locked. Obviously it’s not. I wish they wound iron out those issues. They seem to me to be very basic issues that affect the primary purpose of having the app to begin with.

    My bullfrog is connected to the in touch wireless device but this app will not connect. Doesn’t ever seem to find anything on my network.
  • Give me heater and temp history!!!!!!

    Give me heater and temp history!!!!! Give me heater and temp history!!!!! Give me heater and temp history!!!!! The only plus is that after you buy the overpriced unit that plugs into the spa there is no monthly fee, but honestly I’d rather pay 20 bucks a year or more to have: 1 - Notifications (customizable) 2 - ANY history. But especially when heaters are on and off along with temperature history. This app won’t tell you how many degrees an hour your spa is capable of, or whether a new heating / eco setting is actually saving you money 3 - kWhr usage 4 - an open API so I could write my own webpage or app. 5 - see 2 6 - see 2 7 - see 2 8 - see 2 9 - see 2 10 - why the heck would ANYBODY make an app for a hot tub that doesn’t do 2?!?!?! It feels like the developer doesn’t even own one. Give me heater and temp history!!!!!
  • Okay, could use improvements.

    I enjoy using the app but there are something I would change. Adjusting the temperature is difficult. Arrows that you could push to adjust up and down would make it much easier. It’s also extremely slow to connect.

    I mirror the other reviews. The app is pretty good, but there are missing features. 1. Audio control. It would be nice to be able to control the stereo. 2. Connectivity. The app doesn’t always connect. 3. Temp Control. The temp control is confusing and not intuitive. Keep up the updates!
