3 ★ Generally happy with the app, although I've found a very specific bug that I would like to raise. Currently I have my On-Grid DOD set to 5% and my Off-Grid DOD set to 80%. I wanted to make a change to the On-Grid DOD, to set it to 0%. I did this, I was prompted to restart the inverter and everything appeared correct. The battery did not drop below 100%, as expected. A day later, when the power went out, my system switched to battery, but when the battery reached 90%, it cut out. After investigation, it appeared the Off-Grid DOD had been changed to 10%. I've replicated the issue consistently: 1) Ensure On-Grid DOD is set to 5% and Off-Grid DID is set to 80% 2) Update On-Grid DOD to 0%, press the Set button next to it, click back, agree to the inverter being restarted 3) After the restart go back into the settings - On-Grid DOD is now 0% and Off-Grid DOD is now 10% (incorrect) Workaround - when changing On-Grid DOD to 0%, if I press the Set button next to Off-Grid DOD, to ensure both On-Grid and Off-Grid DOD are set, then the system holds both values. If I only set the On-Grid DOD, then I loose my Off-Grid DOD setting (or have it overwritten to 10%). Please fix this bug.

1 ★ Don't use this broken app with your inverter. Could not even set up over the phone with Goodwe with all the errors it gives. Download Sems Portal instead, much easier to use and monitor panels and set up was easy!

1 ★ The App is not the problem -it works ok. The problem is all the permissions it had access to. Why does the app need access to control the flashlight, volume and audio, camera, disable screen lock, pair with other bluetooth devices retrieve other running apps, download files without notification and so on. Looks to me like it is quite a detailed spyware package! !

3 ★ App does what it needs to but doesn't make it easy, If there was a way to let it connect to the IP address assigned to it in the network it's on, it would allow much more usability, and ease of access. The WiFi modules on the inverters aren't the best, and drop connection often especially while devices connected to its own hotspot, for setting updates.

1 ★ Useless beyond belief. The developer has absolutely no clue about good UI and UX. It's horrendously difficult to set up, gives absolutely NO insight or assistance, and has no business being in the app store. Ultimately it does not work, despite trying everything I could for several hours.

4 ★ 4 Aug 2020, first picture needs updating. The math is incorrect. The "house" should be a total of backup and load. Not a subtraction. 1 May 2020, seems better. Why can this app not show the internal temp like the portal app? It is directly connected after all. New update is worse. I could access GW through house WiFi, now I have to connect direct. Not as convenient.

1 ★ This app is a joke. It keeps on tested the meter for no reason. It should test it once and thats it. It shows meter connected correctly but keeps on tested which lets the overview and data screens freeze. What is going on. It the software developer a child learning how to program?

1 ★ May 2020 update. No.improvement. can see inverter on wifi list but app will not connect. Feb 2020 update: No improvement - still not able to connect. Using a Nokia 8 smartphone on Android 9. Tried using Samsung J8 and could connect but still have to change to inverter network to see details. Nov 2019: Unable to connect. Have followed instructions. Inverter network found on phone but app simply not working or recognising network name when manually entered.

1 ★ This app is really rubbish. The economical mode doesn't work, ans just allowe the battery to be flattened very quickly.The old version worked fine until the 4 sones were added, whicjh brok it. I have tried two different Hybrid Invertes, ans have the same problem. Perhaps it is a firmware issue as iOS is affected too. Update at your peril.

1 ★ Doesn't work Build version: 4.2.3 Current date: 2020-09-03 22:36:11 Device: OnePlus ONEPLUS A3003 Stack trace: java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "" at java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Integer.java:627) at java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Integer.java:650) at com.goodwe.help.AdvancedSettingActivity.onClick(AdvancedSettingActivity.java:2701) at android.view.View.performClick(View.java:6669) at android.view.View.performClickInternal(View.java:6638) at android.view.View.access$310

1 ★ It used to work but I had not been able to reconnect my GoodWe inverter to wi-fi for some months. Finally got that sorted, wend to the app and not even an option to login. Any changes require an installer password. Going to remove and rely on the web page.

3 ★ Since the update the alarm info function doesn't work. Always says 'failed to get data' . Even when the fault light is lit on the Inverter. I'm directly connected via WiFi...

3 ★ It works, little clunky but it works. No option for the Pylon US3000 unfortunately. Not sure why it was removed. Still can't believe they cannot afford better debelopers.

1 ★ Build version: 3.5.0 Current date: 2019-02-11 23:52:22 Device: Samsung SM-J106F Stack trace: java.lang.IllegalThreadStateException: Thread already started at java.lang.Thread.checkNotStarted(Thread.java:849) at java.lang.Thread.start(Thread.java:1059) at com.goodwe.common.UdpBroadcast$ReceiveData.start(UdpBroadcast.java:182) at com.goodwe.common.UdpBroadcast$1.run(UdpBroadcast.java:123) Why can i not simply open the app, use it, close it!? Why does it remain running in the background?

1 ★ After update goodwe solar system became useless to control. Now can't use battery power on offgrid mode even as it is set to 50% battery use inverter shutsdown just after I updated app. Now updated again 28 sep 2020 have exact same problem as before.
