Just dropped $1000 on a V5 EPIRB and registered it. I’m confident in the device but ACRProductApp is useless. Did they ship the dev version? No embedded help, not even a link to the YT video that shows how to use NCR. ACRProductApp could be such a great tool if it worked properly.
App needs a lot of work. Font is in ACR yellow on a white background, hence very hard to read. Manuals button doesn’t do anything. Test either doesn’t work or not intuitive enough to do. No help built in.
ACRProductApp is absolutely worthless. It does not connect to the PLB via NFC. No user manual. What a disappointment. What does that say about the quality and reliability of their devices?
Worthless. How can anyone trust ACR Acrartex Ocean Signal with lifesaving devices if they publish an app this poorly designed. Take it down until tested and usable.
There’s no instructions. A connect button that does not connect w the Epirb.
Step by step instructions would help
It certainly is not finding my device (V5 with AIS and RLS). It seems to do nothing. The manuals tab does not even work.
I was told some nonsense about merging accounts, and to create a new account so the ACR app would work.
Sounded nonsensical to me
I agree with the other reviews. Not worth the effort.
The IPhone NFC won’t pick up the beacon’s data.
There is no tech support and ACRProductApp does nothing.
I’m having serious concerns about this MOB device. Can’t reach tech support, the device comes with no instructions, their website has issues, and ACRProductApp does NOT work. Would you trust the AIS Link MOB device with your life???
Doesn’t work at all. A total waste of my time! Hated it!
