User Reviews

HOBOconnect app has received mixed user feedback. While some users appreciate recent improvements like multi-file export and easier operation, many report significant issues including instability, bugs causing freezes, poor connectivity on some Android devices, lack of key features from its predecessor HOBOmobile, and problems handling data files such as parsing errors and inability to delete files. The interface changes have also caused frustration due to reduced clarity and usability. Overall, reliability and user experience need improvement to regain user confidence.

Pros

Ability to export multiple files at once was recently added, improving usability.
The app is easier to use compared to previous versions once familiar with it.
Provides integration with light readings as well as temperature and other parameters.
Connectivity with certain devices like Apple iPhone works well.

Cons

App is buggy and unstable, often freezing on startup or disconnecting.
Lacks features present in previous versions, such as configurable settings before launching and a status details page showing battery life and memory space.
Issues with data file handling: frequent errors parsing data files and inability to delete downloaded files within the app.
Loss of precision in downloaded data after updates, especially for water level measurements.
Poor Bluetooth connectivity on some Android devices, including failure to recognize specific logger models.
App loses user login frequently and does not upload data reliably to the server.
Interface changes make the app less intuitive, with smaller fonts, icon-only indicators, and cluttered layout.

Recent reviews

Does not work on enterprise networks so in 90% of commercial buildings this is useless.

Worse than hobo mobile. Doesn't easily allow you to configure settings before launching, and changes your previous settings when it's launched. Also doesn't have the status details page that shows the battery life, memory space, and an easy readout of the live parameters. Overall so much worse than hobo mobile
