It's much simpler and more intuitive than the Xiaoping BMS app recommended by jbd (the BMS manufacturer). Apps like these should be simple, effective, and not full of fancy colors and flashy but confusing uis.

Worked fantastic when I first installed. But after my phone did other app updates I can't connect to the bms on 4 batteries. I can see them in the home list. Possible limits on Bluetooth shares / connections?

Awesome app for DIY solar enthusiasts. Probably not for the casual user-you could probably mess up your battery if you weren't careful. For simple monitoring, I prefer Bat-BMS, and for in-depth analysis and changes, I use Overkill Solar. I really like the actual vs capacity on the main stats page - it's cool to see if a battery really can hold 101A lol

To be able to charge my batteries to their full charge I was unable to use this app. I would use this app to try to charge my batteries, and it would say that they were full and everything looked normal, but then when I switched to the other BMS that battery was only as maybe 75 or 80%, and when I switched back to the first battery that said it was at 100% charged it was not it had dropped to 80%. So I went back to the Chinese version and charge my batteries, and they took a full charge.

1- App shows version 1.3.2-V10 in upper left corner while Android Play Store description shows 1.1.1-V10. 2- No alarms appear even though I am getting Cell Overvoltage counts repeatedly. 3- Cell Overvoltage counts appear even though settings don't appear to be a problem. 4- Long and repeated "Waiting on BMS" message appears. This problem occurred before first Play Store version became available and first Play Store version fixed it. Waiting on BMS is so frequent it is difficult to interact with
