\"aSolar monitoring apps are supposed to make life easier for home energy management. But when the user experience is dominated by constant crashes, confusing interfaces and inaccurate information, some apps only make things harder. Here’s a rundown of the worst reviewed solar monitoring apps available in Australia.<\/p>\n

Which Solar Monitoring Apps Are Poorly Rated?<\/h2>\n

Following on from our story last week on the best solar monitoring apps in Australia<\/a>, we’re now taking a look at the options with the lowest review scores for phones on Google Play and the Apple App store at the time of writing.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, some of the worst-rated apps are associated with highly reputable inverter brands like Fronius – just going to show that good solar manufacturers aren’t necessarily good app developers.<\/p>\n

If you want to buy a particular inverter brand but don’t want to use the associated monitoring platform, a third party solution like Catch Control<\/a> is an option, but this involves an additional expense.<\/p>\n

Growatt ShinePhone<\/h2>\n

\"Negative<\/p>\n

Google Play Store: 2.1 out of 5 average rating<\/strong><\/p>\n

Apple App Store: 1.8 out of 5 average rating<\/strong><\/p>\n

What Users Liked:<\/strong> Some customers say it is adequate for basic solar monitoring.<\/p>\n

What Users Complained About:<\/strong> Very buggy and annoying to set up, frequent dongle resets, app freezes, slow data updates that can take more than 5 minutes at a time, lacks advanced functions to customise key settings,\u00a0 graph colors are too similar, inaccurate weather forecasts.<\/p>\n

Fronius Solar.web<\/h2>\n

\"Fronius<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Google Play Store: 2 out of 5 average rating<\/strong><\/p>\n

Apple App Store: 1.9 out of 5 average rating<\/strong><\/p>\n

What Users Liked:<\/strong> Some customers have welcomed the lifting of a paywall for some features and an improved interface.<\/p>\n

What Users Complained About:<\/strong> App freezes, inconsistent data display, difficulties with logging in and two-factor authentication, a history of paywalling key features, missing error codes, poor support.<\/p>\n

Goodwe SEMS Portal<\/h2>\n

\"Negative<\/p>\n

Google Play Store: 2.5 out of 5 average rating<\/strong><\/p>\n

Apple App Store: 1.8 out of 5 average rating<\/strong><\/p>\n

What Users Liked:<\/strong> Good presentation.<\/p>\n

What Users Complained About:<\/strong> App crashes after updates, missing consumption data, connectivity issues with new routers, broken landscape mode, long-standing complaints unaddressed.<\/p>\n

SolisCloud<\/h2>\n

\"Negative<\/p>\n

Google Play Store: 2.5 out of 5 average rating<\/strong><\/p>\n

Apple App Store: 2.4 out of 5 average rating<\/strong><\/p>\n

What Users Liked:<\/strong> Timely device failure notifications, good historical data.<\/p>\n

What Users Complained About:<\/strong> Difficult to set up, difficult\/impossible to log in, difficult to contact support, complex menus, “real-time” data updates lag by several minutes.<\/p>\n
