With this easy-to-use app you can register your Prowler 930 robot pool cleaner online, control it remotely and navigate manually.
Meh . . .
I’d say 3.5 out of 5 stars is proper. That rounds up to 4. I’ve had my robot for three years now. Makes keeping our 38,000 gal pool clean so much easier and less time consuming. Worth every penny. As for the app, yes, it does seem you have to be within 10 or so feet to the base to connect. But it’s Bluetooth, not Wi-Fi, so that’s expected. I’ve never had issue with connecting. Unfortunately, the only thing the app is good for is if your base is located in a hard to reach place (I have to bend to the ground to get to mine) and to be able to go over an especially dirty spot/area by using the “manual” function and drive the robot there. But it’s tedious. (First world problems?) There could be so much more functionality in the app, but obviously someone didn’t want to put the time or effort into doing the programming for it. E for an excellent toy! D- for functionality. F for effort.
United StatesDisappointed
Absolutely terrible and pointless app. An app for this type of device should provide basic functionality and reliable connectivity. The user should be able to define the cleaning schedule (days of week, time of day, cleaning mode). The manual drive is a waste of coding - it would be much more beneficial to know the cycle length and how much time is left.
United StatesHonestly would have given zero stars for this ap if able.
Never connects to the unit. I have had the pool robot for 2 years. The robot itself operates fantastic. The ap which was a nice selling point is Abysmal. It has never connected despite multiple attempts. Worthless and frustrating.
United StatesWhat an Awful App and Product
To start, the robot never connects to the phone. I’m always greeted with the lovely message “Oops the module can’t connect to the robot: be sure to plug the blue cable in.” This has to be one of the worst apps I’ve ever downloaded on my phone…it’s a dud—never works!!
United StatesPredatory Business Model
Pentair as a company takes advantage of the consumer by forcing contractor involvement to get full warranty. You should not have to jump through hoops to get maximum benefit of a product. If you can avoid them, I would.
United StatesDoesn’t work at all
This app doesn’t work at all. Stood right night to the power supply and power cycled several times and nothing.
United StatesWorthless buying Bluetooth model!!
Such crap! The app is HORRIBLE!! There is more functionality on the base than the app. I’m very disappointed that the app cannot do anything! Manual drive is a joke!
