Efest 6bay charger for Android
Seems to work fine on my s7 edge running marshmallow. Would be nice to add a few more features like other reviews ask for. Id like to see more technical graphs. And the app to be black background would be easier on the eyes. I hope it gets an update. I assume they will give us it when v2 comes out and we will use that app but be stuck with the more basic features. If my bluetooth goes out of range i have to close the app down and restart it when im back in range. So notifications probly wouldnt be reliable.
This app aparently is for the old blu6 charger. If you have a serial number on the bottom of your charger, then go to their website and download the apk. Why that app is not also on the play store is very daft indeed, however after using this app, a d seeing nothing but empty battery information, the apk from their website works fine. Still needs sorting out though hence the 1 star review.
Initially I loved this product, however recently the Bluetooth button won't light up and I am unable to connect to the charger unit. The scanning process work fine. I've tried everything I can think of, including reinstalling the app. Do you have any idea what's wrong? BTW the charger itself is working fine.
I have an s7 edge and this stopped connection to my Bluetooth. Not sure if was an update or what happened. I know it is the app in relation to my phone as it works fine with my tablet still. I am not happy though that it doesn't connect to the device I always used. I hope this problem gets fixed but as for now this app is useless to me now.
I spent good money on this charger so that I can remotely view my batteries charge and be able to remotely adjust the charging current, everything was fine at first but now the app won't connect to my charger via Bluetooth I have the s7 edge and it used to work but no longer.. DEVELOPMENT TEAM PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE!!
While in the app it says connected to blu6 but the app does not work. i cant see any info on the batteries.. all slots say 0%? Note 5
This review is for the app, not the charger, charger works fine. The app use to work up until the update. I can no longer see data from the charger on my device. The app is much needed to change the charge type. It is now lock on 0.5a per bay and that SUCKS! Super slow charging! PLEASE FIX THE UPDATE.
I bought the four Bay charger. Looked could not find the app for it. Down loaded this app. It would not work. Said connected but would not show any other information. Messed around with the qr code on the box(it's stupid to make people use a qr code to download app have it linked on your web page at least) worked and connected. Three stars for now for the hassle.
Works fine! Does everything it was supposed to do. People that complain about this are stupid or work for other companies and are just trying to talk bad. Faults with android compatibility are android problems not charger problems. Maybe don't use an out of date android product idiot!
Seems like we could get some more features eventually. I never use this app at all currently but love the Blu6. I would hope we could get more amp charge in a update someday without having to by a v2.
I can't believe that they can sell this and the app doesn't even work. Installed on my Galaxy 27th and it connects but then does nothing at all. What a waste of money. Will be returning this charger for refund.
Used to work for a little while, now it doesn't connect. Don't know if it's the app or the charger. Charger still charges and it shows up in the app, so maybe the bluetooth on the charger.
Says it's connected- no info showing up. Multiple devices failed to work, apple and Android had same results
Ok first off I bought the device because it's what I needed.... I didn't really care about the Bluetooth connection.... That being said, the idea of the app was lagniappe.. I literally got the device 5 mins ago... It's charging fine (yes I know this is an app rating but it's really for both imo) however, I downloaded the app and I have it connected to the device but I cannot see the percentages on the app on my Samsung Galaxy Note5. I don't need the app but if it advertises the app... Then it should work...
Neither my phone or tablet will find the Bluetooth for the charger. No problem with either as they connect to other things.
Garbage app! You need to use the link in the included manual and download the apk from their site. The publisher needs to update this! Even with the proper app connectivity is spotty.
Total waste of time. The app connects to the charger then does nothing. Does not even show bay status. If you bought the Blu6 charger because of the bluetooth monitor you just been ripped off.
I can only think of one thing to make this app better and that would be a widget that shows only used bays and their charge level. That would be a 5 star rating
Wont connect to my charger, thought I'd give efest ago after knowing they are dreadful and I am now proved right, don't even buy the charger, what a waste
It's about time you guys do a update for the app. Some days it works without a problem but most days it doesn't work at all!!! Same thing happens on multiple android devices. If your product doesn't work it should be advertised that way. #greatideasthatdontwork #feelingrippedoff #bluetoothfail
Just arrived today so excited. Downloaded the app. FAIl won't connect no matter what i do. Long pressed the button to get the bluetooth ID and it is Blank no id. The app was why most of us bought this charger. False advertising and it doesn't charge my batteries fully? My ten dollar one does but this 80 dollar one doesn't? Put that on the box, will nearly charge your batteries and an app that doesn't work. Bravo efest your brand has lost all credibility with me. Do yourself a favor buy a cheaper charger.
It's nice not to have to keep getting up to check on the status of the batteries, which makes this app quite convenient. However, I would give it five stars if you could connect more than one device at a time. That's my only recommendation. My husband and I both have the app, but only one of us can be connected at any given time. When we both have batteries in the charger, it gets a little annoying.
Well if thats what this app does or if thats why you dont think the efest 6 bay is worth it you are wrong!! I wish you could charge multiple slots at a 2Amp charge but the app makes charging batteries so much better..truly the first real SMART CHARGER. From your phone you can control as well as monitor each slot/or battery. You can switch between .5 1 and 2 amp charges all from the app..there is a chart that monitors voltage showing if your battery only hold 4.0 volts at a 'full charge' instead of 4.2 sold
I love i bought something that won't work. Story of my life. It charges yes. But Unable to connect. .unable to communicate. So no blue tooth and of course, no refund! Better off buying 2 of the 4 bank chargers. Cheaper.
The charger works decent enough but to pay the extra for a feature that doesn't work. Waste of money if you ask me.
Seems like we could get some more features eventually. I never use this app at all currently but love the Blu6. I would hope we could get more amp charge in a update someday without having to by a v2.
The charger is great. We've used them in our vape shop for some time now. Performance is perfect and the app is accurate with very little delay on info if any. App interface is good. Desperately needs notifications and a widget would be nice.
My Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 will not pair with the efest 6bay charger. The app does not see the charger. My Bluetooth Settings sees it but requires a PIN which is not provided to pair the device. Developer has replied to comments since August 2015 saying there's an update pending however the app hasn't been updated since July 2015.
Neither my phone or tablet will find the Bluetooth for the charger. No problem with either as they connect to other things.
It doesn't even open. Maybe I'll figure it out. EDIT: Just figured it out. My phone only has Bluetooth 3.0, not Bluetooth 4.0, which the app requires. Maybe support can be written in for 3.0 in a future update?
The app works fine but the entire concept of an app for a battery charger is ridiculous. Excuse me, I have to go update my Kardashian app.
Would b 5 stars if (and maybe already a thought) an update with alarm when batteries are 100% but definitely an ingenious app and charger
It's a shame this company sells a charger and wont update their damn app to work. False advertising is not how you keep customers. I for one will never buy another efest product!
I'm running 3 Efest 3500mah 20A batteries in the Reuleaux DNA200. I kept the batteries on this charger for 2 hours after it said fully charged. Put them in my mod and it read 97%. Will try putting the batteries in a different charger to see what I get for percentage. The charger itself is pretty cool in that I don't have to keep looking at the bay to see if the batteries are charged or not while the app tells me exactly where the battery charge level is. 3 stars because of the charge level. If it was 100%, 5 stars.
It doesn't work for most of the time, had no issues with charger. Just never can see what my batteries are at.
Good chance the app will not work with any Marshmallow phone. It needs an update badly!
The people resopnsible for coding this used a limp fish. Its not appealing at all asthetically, very buggy, choppy animations.
For a quality charger a lot of people recommended to you in shops every where your lucky it at least charges my batterys because it says it's connected to my blue tooth but reads nothing, no notifications nothing, technology can only progress with those who know how to use it, thanks for screwing me, I'll make sure to tell my homies to get something else. Bouakasha!
I use the android app for my phone, and it works perfectly. I love the charger, and bluetooth and 6 bays were the selling points for me. I would like to see a windows pc version of the app developed as well. It would be nice to pull up my battery progress from the convenience of my desktop as well. Great charger and excellent app otherwise. There has been some interest for a desktop feature expressed by others as well.

Love the Bluetooth capability! Being able to control it with my phone feon anywhere in my home! VERY COOL! The only thing that's funny about it (and no big deal really) is two of the slots have 3 charging options and the other four slots have only 2 options. Why not make them all have 3 charging options. But I'm sure there's a technically reason why. But all in all. Liking it. But it is only the first day. But I'd definitely recommend for the money. (Since I only paid $19)
