Only connects via WiFi, but supposedly has Bluetooth. Requires location data. Why would you make a power station that needs WiFi? Most power stations are used in area that are off grid and don’t typically have WiFi. In addition, the app doesn’t update the unit settings like it is supposed to. For a name-brand product this app is horrible, useless, and a poor representation of the company name. Abysmal failure.

I have the F3000LFP and it's awesome. This app is nothing but useless spyware in my opinion. You HAVE to connect it to Wi-Fi and submit your location to use it. Why? If the unit has Bluetooth there's no reason for the Wi-Fi setup other than to spy on you. I use the power station in my van where there's no Wi-Fi. I set it up once at someone's house. It worked one time away from the Wi-Fi. The next time I tried to use it, it wants Wi-Fi again. So really it's useless for me. Makes no sense. The power station itself is great. To bad there's not a useful app to go with it.

I feel like the people complaining about not being able to connect to the device might not have read the instructions. I tried adding the device and it was not found initially so I looked at the instructions and you need to go into the settings and reset the WiFi to put it into pairing mode. As soon as I did that it showed up right away. I have not had the device long yet so I can’t speak to reliability but I am very happy with it so far. The price and features out do the competition. The app shows all I would think you would need to see. I honestly don’t expect I’ll use the app much but it is nice to be able to check the status. If it stays reliable I might end up getting another one for 240V.
