Ratings and Reviews
Don’t Waste your Time
Without a doubt the most poorly written app. Can’t link to Bluetooth and support is useless and has no clue.

Class action
This app is pure garbage. Constantly crashes, won’t connect. Completely buggy. Just doesn’t work. It’s a total scam. I’ve spent countless hours trying to get the modules to connect. Sometimes it looks like it is working, but doesn’t. When it does, the app doesn’t stay on more than a few seconds. I want to sue Volvo for fraud. Anyone else?
Bluetooth connection tip, great one it works
I installed the BTGW to my twin D6-370 EVC-C installation yesterday and faced the same issues as others to try to connect. I scoured all my old phones for a device that could pair and load the software for the update to no avail.
I decided to try to connect my Windows 10 laptop to the BTGW and lo and behold it showed up in my list of discoverable devices. As soon as I started the app on my iPad it showed up, I entered the Bluetooth PIN and everything started working. My guess is that somehow the Windows discovery step changed the device internal state to allow the IOS12 pairing to proceed. BTW, one the app made the connection it did a update the firmware on the device and I’ve had no problem connecting since.
I ended up re-wiring my NMEA2000 bus while I had the helm open and now all my devices are talking. The new BTGW fully replaced the original NMEA2000 Gateway with the same form factor and cabling, so it was really a drop in upgrade. I now have data for the engines and all the NMEA devices appearing in the app, very nice!
Sea trials next to get a real feel for how to use these capabilities, but I like the promise this brings and the opportunity for more innovation with the wireless connectivity to the boa data.
