## Review summary

Most reviews cite unreliable Bluetooth pairing and inaccurate/empty data in the app. Recurrent issues include connectivity failures, zero data displays, and compatibility problems across models/firmware. Feature gaps (energy usage history, event timestamps) and weak support amplify frustration. A minority report occasional successful data display (voltage/watts) when it connects. Overall, the app is seen as unreliable and not worth it for many users.

### Pros

- When the app connects, it can display voltage and wattage data from the Surge Guard.
- It shows the Surge Guard status inside the RV once connected.
- Occasionally, users report that Bluetooth pairing and data display do work on certain models/firmware configurations.

### Cons

- Widespread Bluetooth connectivity failures: cannot pair, keeps trying to connect, or reports not found (e.g., No BLE PEERS).
- When connected, the app often shows zero or incorrect data, with limited information (sometimes only L1 data).
- Significant firmware/model compatibility problems across Surge Guard versions (e.g., 34931, 34951, 40301) and specific firmware (9b, 13), requiring device returns or firmware updates out of band.
- Lack of energy usage history, date/time stamps for events, and robust troubleshooting data in the app.
- Reports of poor support and misadvertising about Bluetooth/app capabilities, with some users forced to replace devices.
