myVolta

The app crashes. Instead of displaying when charging will be finished, it just displays the current time regardless of what the SOC is. Endless notifications about faults in the system. I received a notification that the system was too cold to operate in 90 degree weather. This needs to be fixed.

This is a very handy app that allows you to monitor your Volta system. I can check on the status from my phone within Bluetooth range of my camper van. Where it really shines though is its remote connectivity ability. By taking a phone I no longer use and setting up the Volta app on it, it can then send data to the Cloud and that allows me to use the Volta app on my primary phone to check the status from anywhere I have Internet access. It requires an Internet connection in your RV so the local phone can relay the Volta data to the cloud.

As others have said, application crashes or loses connection. There is no reliable way to use this to monitor the health / stability of the Volta system. For a technology that costs the price of a basic car, it is unacceptable that in 2024 reliable application functionality is not present. If someone at Volta wishes to improve this, I would be happy to connect and allow diagnostic information to help them get to the root causes.

Unfortunately, It’s still crashing pretty regularly. And the time to complete charge generally shows the actual current time. Any chance we could get these issues resolved? Thank you!

As other reviewers have noted, the latest version (2.0.3) of the app crashes (or just stops displaying updated data, requiring a force-quit and relaunch) often. Interestingly: when the app crashes while on the “Live View” version of the Power Flow graph it appears to be just the UI thread that dies; the app seems to continue accumulating data for some time after the UI goes away, which you can see after relaunching. Even more oddly is that the data displayed doesn’t seem to exactly match what’s shown on the Volta’s physical display (I have a Flex); the Power Flow figures never match (which you might be able to explain away with “different update intervals”) and the Pack Temp (which changes much more slowly) can differ by up to 2 degrees F. It’s been a year since the last buggy/unstable version was released. Volta really needs to release a fixed stable version!

Doesn’t retain any history. Apps that are set to view the cloud data only aren’t notified when the app set to upload data has gone offline for whatever reason. Therefore, the history has frequent gaps because the uploading app crashed (another issue) or failed to maintain a connection to the Bluetooth module (yet another issue). Zero error message indication or explanation. Just a super low effort by Volta on this.

My rv is parked next to my house. I can stand in my bathroom - the rv is right outside, and the app doesn’t connect. Then my power surge protector tells me the rv is disconnected when it’s not. It’s still charging. Please fix. Thank you. Volta is awesome.

Love the cloud service feature so I can monitor power levels when we’re away from our rig (this is how it should work in theory). We leave an iPad plugged in with the app running and connected to Volta via Bluetooth. Cloud service recognizes the device for a few minutes. One the iPad, screen goes to “sleep”, causing Volta to no longer monitor via cloud. My suspicion is that this app is not running in the background as it should. Have checked the settings on iPad to make sure “allow background apps” is allowed. I see a recent developer response says it is fixed in 2.0.1, but unfortunately, it doesn’t appear to be the case. Would love a reliable way to monitor our power levels when away from our rig.

All of a sudden the app insists on transferring data without telling me from where to where or why. Cannot use the app while it is transferring data. Yet the app crashes before it can finish transferring and then starts over again. DO NOT USE THIS APP UNTIL IT IS FIXED AS IT JAMS ANS FREEZES YOUR PHONE.

Has been doing everything it’s designed to do so far, but really would appreciate the alert feature when it’s running low. I’m a little surprised the Volta system itself doesn’t have some kind of audible alert capability before it cuts off.
