Grand Design Compass Connect

App works but while driving on the tire monitor screen it constantly opens the in-motion lockout alert. You have to close the alert, WHILE DRIVING, (with blue text on a gray background makes it hard to do) to see your tire pressures again. That takes your eyes off the road and find the button. At times it literally comes back within 10 seconds. Only takes a second to cause an accident! Shouldn’t get the alert on an in-motion screen, only on a screen that is actually locked! My only gripe.

The app is OK (not good or great) most of the time. I routinely get a pop-up message saying my fifth wheel trailer is in motion and that some features are locked out until I press a physical button on the control panel in the trailer (and even then, pressing a button in the trailer doesn’t do anything). If I’m stopped and trying to connect to see my rear-view camera so I can then back into a camping spot, I don’t want to have to get out, unlock my trailer, and pull down the steps just to go in and press a button. Ditto when trying to see my tire pressures from the Tire Linc system - of course I’m in motion. When you need the app the most, it locks you out, which is very frustrating. The app should have the capability for the user (who may be a passenger) to confirm they are not driving or moving to override the motion lock out in the app.

I downloaded this app last weekend. No issues making a connection to my Travel Trailer and it provides updates on status of all systems, which is great. The issue I have is that it continually runs in the background depleting my iPhone battery. Once I figured out the depleting was occurring due to the app running in the background, I turned off background refresh for the Compass Connect app. It did not seem to have any effect. After more than 21 hours of being turned off, the battery is still being depleted in the course of a few hours after a full charge. I verified it was turned off so I need to delete the app. This is a big problem since I was hoping to use the app while traveling but will not reinstall until I see the background app refresh setting issue is resolved. One thing I cannot put up with is an app killing my battery. Especially, when I would need it most.
