Review summary

Users appreciate the app's ease of use, remote control capabilities, and helpful temperature displays. However, recurring issues include unstable Bluetooth connections, lack of security measures allowing unauthorized access, mandatory but seemingly unnecessary location permissions, limited timer functionality with only a single timer slot, and compatibility problems with certain Android devices.

Pros

User-friendly and simpler than the control panel.
Allows remote operation, such as turning on the heater without getting out of bed.
Displays useful data including burner and room temperatures.
Option to switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit.
Automatically syncs the heater clock with the phone.

Cons

Requires location permissions that seem unnecessary for app functionality.
Bluetooth connection is unstable and often requires multiple attempts to connect.
No security or password protection, allowing anyone with the app to control the heater nearby.
Only one timer can be set, limiting scheduling flexibility.
Compatibility issues with some Android devices and Bluetooth versions.

2025-01-30	St*****	The app is well-designed and much easier to use than the control panel. It’s convenient and works well, but a few improvements could make it even better. In a future update, it would be great to have the option to set multiple timers instead of just one for more flexibility. A resettable runtime feature would also be useful to help track fuel levels after refuelling. Overall, I’m very happy with the app and look forward to future updates.

2025-01-22	de*****	I would recommend these improvements for the app. 1. It would be nice to allow it to have multiple heaters connected at once. Which would be easier to monitor them, and control them. 2. have the ability to rename the heaters. 3. Allow advanced tuning for fan speed and fuel pump speed for better efficiency, and reliability.

2024-12-30	Ca*****	Great app, straight forward to use, been able to turn the device on without getting out of bed is great. it would be nice to be able to set more than one timer and if the app showed how many hours the device had been running.

2024-12-30	Pa*****	The app works great, I only had some issues in the past, where it was stuck at turning off the heater. Also, please fix the time when it's Daylight Savings Time. It would be amazing if we could make it, so the heater can start itself when the temperature goes below x°C and stop when it heats up to y°C. This way we could, for example, prevent the temperatures from getting below 0°C.

2024-12-24	St*****	Works but could be better. Firstly it's not secure as in anyone with the app can connect and control your heater. The app also requires reconnect after minimisation of screen or using another app. However it will stop and start the heater and control the temperature. It also displays body temperature and such.

2024-12-15	Je*****	Works properly, but flawed. It does the job, but with few features and limited controls. Requires location to always be on when in use-for no good reason.
