User Reviews

Users generally like being able to monitor and control their Ryobi GenControl via Bluetooth from their phone, including remote start/stop and simple pairing. However, persistent reliability issues dominate the feedback: the shutdown command often fails or the engine restarts, Bluetooth disconnects frequently or won’t reconnect, and false warnings (low fuel, CO, overload) plus missing runtime estimates and logs degrade usefulness. App stability problems (crashes/freezes) and a lack of frequent updates add frustration. Overall appeal remains for convenience and Bluetooth features, but reliability and feature gaps are the main concerns.

Pros

Remote start/stop control of the generator from the iPhone app via Bluetooth
Easy Bluetooth pairing and setup
Convenient monitoring of generator status (fuel level, operating state) from the app
Helpful usability features (backlight control, idle mode on/off)
Overall simple, user-friendly app experience for control and monitoring

Cons

App shutdown command often fails or causes the generator to restart instead of turning off
Bluetooth disconnects frequently or won’t reconnect after use
Erroneous warnings and readings (false low fuel/CO/overload) and missing runtime estimates
App stability issues such as crashes or freezes during use
Lack of essential data and history (no run-time estimates, no logs/history, limited battery information) and infrequent updates

I’d give this app five stars, but it no longer turns off my generator via the app. It gets it to start shutting down, then it starts right back up again. Which is a big deal. It’s a great generator at a costly price. One of the big selling points for me was the Bluetooth technology. Where I use my generator at, is at my cabin. It rains a lot and it’s nice to shut it off from inside. Come on fix this. Be proud of your tools Ryobi. Take ownership. Maintain your app.

Engine shutdown from the App doesn’t work in 99%

Using this app with a brand new Ryobi 2300 Inverter Generator. Tank is full, generator is outdoors and vented into the yard, nothing is plugged into it. Generator working fine on its own. The app pops up “low fuel,” “CO,” and “system overload” warnings every few minutes. I’m 20’ from the generator as this is happening, so Bluetooth connectivity should be strong. App needs to be debugged and give better features. It’s silly at this point.
