Swift Command 2019

I was sceptical at first but using it whilst away have come to understand how useful it is. Because of the way Bluetooth works there is a small delay but… sitting up in my bed this morning I turned on the heating via the app. Yesterday, I checked the waste pipe was attached and over the drain and emptied the tank via the app. Sitting out under the awning as it got dark I turned on the awning light via the app. Until the van gets to talk IP it doesn’t get much better than this! Maybe tune the response time? Hey I am getting picky. Thanks guys.

The new version of the app is pointless and doesn’t work at all. If it does, then it’ll drop quickly. Has lost a lot of the old features too. Such a pity, was great to be able do things such as turn the pump on when stood next to it rather than the control panel. Would be better if they could revert back or properly test before they released a new version of the app.

Just returned from vacation, having endured this app. Aside from resetting the heating settings, including turning off the timer hot water when connecting the Bluetooth, lost all reference to the onboard tank on the main caravan display - twice - and had to go into the advanced settings of the head unit to be able to fill it. Earlier version of the app, whilst having less functionality, worked with no issues. If it worked as supposed to, potentially a very useful app.

If I could give this 0 stars I would. The app is less than useless. All but 4 of the icons have vanished, and in spite of being told how to go into the Command Panel menu to restore them on the panel they are still not showing on the app. Thinking of deleting, except that control panel is missing icons too, so we’re between a rock and a hard place. I’m so upset and frustrated at the amount of time I’m having to spend on this - still to no avail. And it’s supposed to be an updated app!! Forget renaming the dimmer switches - spend some time on fixing this potentially very useful app. N.B. I wrote this in a spirit of frustration but I must say that I have been contacted and given help on resetting the app. And I’ve seen an improvement. Not 100% there yet, but definitely much better, and so reassured that that there is a real person willing to help personally, not by sending an e mail with ‘helpful’ tips, but by phone contact. Thank you x.

What can I say? It sometimes works, sometimes doesn’t. Isn’t particularly logical.Great idea, but doesn’t really deliver

I have been using Swift Command App since 2016 and this new (Mar 24) 2019 version is much better than the previous one which I avoided as the original Command App was better. It is pleasing that older caravans/motor homes are still being supported as sometimes that is not the case. I am happy with all the functionality which works well on my 2016 Caravan. The only issue for me is the two screens (welcome and tips) which appear every time you open the app. I would have given 5 stars if they disappeared after being seen the first time as I would have expected. Hopefully the developers will pick this up with the next release. Update: Originally I gave the app 4 stars. After I posted the review above I received an update from the developer that they are going to get rid of the screen pop up (which was an error) in the next week or so. I am very pleased with the fast response and the action being taken

Prior to this new app I have had no problems connecting to the Swift Command panel via Bluetooth. Since the app has been updated I’ve been locked out. Can not connect to the app and my device is no longer picking up the command panel Bluetooth signal.

Much better interface than before. Works really well in the caravan via Bluetooth but there doesn’t appear to be an override or boost facility. There is one on remote access but I would like to see the override feature returned to the new app via Bluetooth as well. Ps. Having had a response to this feedback I realise that there is a manual override which you can use but the new app doesn’t allow you to set it for a specific amount of time like the old app. I used to like the fact that you could boost for an hour or so and after that the system goes back to timer. I found this particularly helpful.

Less good than the old version. Slow, huge lag on every command. First pick up heating schedule that has already been set on the command panel. Not impressed so far.

Disappointed to see there are now 3 versions of the app. There might be reasons for this and hope it’s so the 2019 can be supported more easily over the longer term. The UI is awfully unappealing. Blue on black. Yugh! No visually impact. Designed by coders not by UI specialists? An immediate turn off. The first version has colour in it which made it visually more appealing. For me, The most important function of this software, the one I use most, is to monitor the battery / solar charging. There is a battery voltage graph. It’s worse than the previous one, it smaller. It still shows the voltage from, 0 to 20v when you sew actually interested in a far smaller range, perhaps 11.5 to 13.8. Previously I had a van with a phantom tracker, the graph auto ranged to cover the voltage ranges measured, not a fixed range. Far better. Hardly used the new app. So a more considered view will follow.
