Ever since the redesign of the VictronConnect app (v4.0) it has many small issues. (So since January 2018) I just want to report them so that Victron is aware and can try to fix them. This all applies to the Android version of the app.
- The most obvious issue is that many times switching screens ("Status", "History" and the recently added "Trends") sometimes doesn't work very well. It either doesn't work at all or it only works with swiping to the next screen or it only works with clicking on the screen title at the top. See this YouTube movie:

In text: Click on 'History' and nothing happens. Only when you swipe left, you go to "History", When you swipe right in "History", sometimes nothing happens, Click on "Status and nothing happens, Then when you swipe right you now go to "Status", etc.
Futhermore over time I have noted down these issues:
- 20190324 Sometimes when pushing a bar of a day in the "History" overview, you don't get the break down into "Bulk, absorption and float". Sometimes it works, sometimes not. I didn't find a pattern.
- 20190324 Sometimes nothing happens when you push on the "Battery" in the Settings menu.
- 20190324 Victron Connect report had wrong name: "Victron Connet report", so without the "C".
- 20190324 It is possible to get the status screen of VC back from the previous used apps or from the lock screen, while the Bluetooth is off. The status screen then shows old info, but doesn't tell you that you are disconnected. This can cause confusion.
- 20190324 In this state the screen also messes up sometimes. The yield screen stays on top of the numbers when you scroll the screen up.
- 20190324 And the status screen stays frozen when you reconnect the Bluetooth and return to the Status screen. Have to exit the Status screen to refresh the Status screen.
- 20190325 No break down of 'Bulk, absorption, float' in the first 'graph' (of today). The other days do break down. The break down of the graph of this day did work earlier in the day.
This all makes me actually wonder if Victron has a person that tests all the software before it is released, (this used to be my job at another company, that's why I am asking) because these issues are very easy to catch and some of these issues have been present for almost 2 years now.
