## Review summary

Users praise ViCare for remote, real-time boiler stats, but repeatedly report key issues: signup failures due to CAPTCHA or missing QR code, connectivity/pairing problems, and general app instability. They also lament limited remote control (no reboot/reset, no fault clearance, rigid heating curve) and note that updates often regress usability. Weather/temperature readouts and other data displays are sometimes inaccurate. Overall, the app is useful but reliability and control limitations are the dominant, recurring complaints.

### Pros

- Real-time boiler stats and fuel usage accessible remotely.
- Live views of boiler status and performance data in the app.
- Overall app is useful with features that keep improving.

### Cons

- Registration/setup issues due to CAPTCHA and missing QR code activation (sign-up failures).
- Unreliable connectivity and pairing with Wi-Fi/network (cannot connect to ViCare/Viessmann network).
- App instability and slow responsiveness (lag, spinning wheel, crashes, especially after updates).
- Limited remote control capabilities (no remote reboot/reset, no fault clearance, restrictive heating curve, no constant setpoint, no DHW temperature control).
- Updates/regressions harming usability (new versions break connectivity or hide critical controls).
