## Review summary

Many users report that the EcoWater Systems Wi-Fi Manager app initially worked well for basic monitoring and alerts but now frequently fails to initialize configuration, rendering it unusable. Several mention that recent updates removed SMS alerts and rely on email, which users often miss. The app also crashes or freezes, has incomplete features like water usage graphs, and users experience poor technical support and lack of timely responses. However, when working, the app provides helpful real-time monitoring and leak detection benefits for water softener systems.
