Bluetooth connection is random – MyDolphin Review

I have had my S300i for two seasons now and while the robot works flawlessly (aside from occasionally getting stuck on the drain cover), the App leaves a lot to be desired. Aside from the design of the interface (which could use a engineer with good user experience and UI skills to upgrade), the Bluetooth connection is flakey. By flakey I mean some days it will connect as soon as I launch the App and then other days I have to literally unplug the robot from the power supply and unplug the power supply from the wall, DELETE the MyDolphin App (iPhone 7+ running iOS12), reinstall the app, plug everything back together and then hope the little Bluetooth light comes on when I launch the App. Come on Maytronics, it shouldn’t be like this! You guys need to do better as the App is seen widely by many folks as useless. I write extensively over at the Trouble Free Pools web forum and, while the Dolphin robots are well regarded, the App is routinely panned as a “useless feature”. You guys need to invest much more time and resources into making the app both functional and user friendly. You’re really dropping the ball here and other robot makers are going to capitalize on this failure.
