WYBOT +4

The M1 Ultra I have is a fantastic little robot. However, the app is severely lacking functionality and features.
1. Can’t read some text as it’s dark blue on light blue.
2. After manual starting, the button changes from “Start” to “Stop”. After a reload of the app, “Start” appears again and hope robot is running. Not sure how to stop.
3. Schedule can only accommodate one start/stop per day, should be able to have multiple. Trying to set a time on the schedule is frustrating as the clock set goes away after each input.
4. Water temperature does not display and outside temperature is not remotely accurate.
5. No way to see battery life or solar charging status.
6. Send unit to top button does not work.
7. Overall cleaning status is now where to be found. When did it start, when will it finish, how much time left, how much of the pool has been cleaned?

I hope Wybot is working on a complete full stack rebuild and does not plan to keep making “bug fixes”.

What’s sad is this is the new and improved app. It’s apparent they will not hire at least an engineer to manage building a working app.

Yes they have fixed a couple minor things in the update but the major problems still exist.

When the bot goes to sleep you cannot turn it on with the app. There is no reason the low power Bluetooth can stay running.
You have to always grab a pole to bring the solar panel or bit closer to the edge of the pool as most of the it decides to shut down in the middle.

Manual control got a little better but after using it for a couple minutes it gets confused and you have to shut it down.

Why can’t the app tell you how much charge it’s getting from the panel? That would be helpful.

The scheduler is still completely useless. How in the world was this released the way it is, for months. Even someone that works in your office would easily know it cannot be programmed.

I’m not going to go into all the hardware problems as this review is only about the app.

If you are looking at WYBOT for your pool cleaning needs you need to wait until they get the right people or just go to a more reputable manufacturer.

You shouldn’t have to constantly spam a Company by email to get some kind of response. I am on my third solar robot from them now and this one has just failed after a few weeks. Awful products and awful company.
