Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew
1 ★I have had the same issues as described in many other reviews. Connects for 1-3 days and then disconnects. Only resetting the system brings it back. I even went as far as purchasing a wifi extender to get the signal at the tub to be -50dBm as BWA keeps stating over and over. It still will not stay connected. Do not purchase this option. I am wishing I didn't.
1 ★This system is horrible.
1 ★Can't believe they have not updated this app since 2013. It has got to be the worst app I have ever experienced. It sometimes works, when I am near the spa. However, a few days later, when I am 360 miles away - it stops communicating. The only way to "re-sync" it is to go back to the spa and start over. I don't have this problem with any of my other remote devices. Why can't Balboa hire a programmer to fix this?? !!!
4 ★Upon install of the Maax Powerpool, and after reading the reviews, I decided to immediately move the wifi unit out from under the swim-spa to a post that is 2 ft above and about 4 ft beside the pool. (It had about 12 ft of wire.) I have had this for 3 months now. The app works exactly as described and I do not have any wifi connectivity issues. I give it 4 stars instead of 5 because i had to make the modification.
3 ★The app is good to use and does what you need, however it keeps dropping out of connection after a day or two. It works perfect wherever then a day or two later won't connect.
1 ★I have got to say this wifi module is horribly designed. It can't stay connected to the network for more than a day. The problem seems to be with the design of the software. Whatever causes it to lose the connection is software related, as the device will never attempt to re-connect to the network. I have a enterprise class WAP in my house and no other device has issues staying connected in my house even right at the hot tub or 300 feet further away. Looking at logs it is the module that drops the connection not the WAP. Analyzing air traffic you never see any communications coming from the module once it disconnects. I did a single analysis with a fluke meter (I am a Network Engineer) and it has perfectly clean signal at the hot tub. Considering the high/low ratings for this module the devices either has poor QA control, it is poor software coding or the hardware itself is just not all that great. Don't waste your time buying this until these issues are worked out and don't let them try to tell you it is your wifi that is the cause of the problem. It is all just poor design to blame. To add my module is not in the hot tub.
3 ★I might have to downgrade it to 1 star the app is no longer connecting to the hot tub. Even when I power the tub off and on it still doesn't connect
1 ★WiFi module connection is very poor and unreliable. Balboa told other users here to move module from under tub, but won't say if module is weather proof. 3 days now and no reply to my email asking for help.
4 ★Have been using mine for over a year and your phone needs to be nearby when you reboot or turn power on. I can contact from the other side of the planet to change from low (which saves power/money) so when we get home it will be ready. If it could be programmed to start to go up to heat at a certain hour, that would make this awesome.
4 ★We've only had our H2X swim spa for a few days, but so far so good. I also think the timer function would be very handy. Update (12/28/17): 6 months in and our controller still works very good. Both my wife and I check it routinely locally and from the cloud with no issues. I noticed the Apple version got an update, which is very pretty. Would be nice to see the same on Android.
1 ★Truly one of the worst apps I've used, both on Android and iOS. Awful product, unreliable hardware, poorly written and out of date software. Unfortunately, if you're installing this software, it means you're probably already locked into an expensive ($400 or more) wifi add-on to your spa. Tell your spa manufacturer to find another remote control solution.
3 ★The app is ok for it's use, but could been so much more! Add support for measuring use of heather (makes it possible for owner to get an idea about cost of heating, let's say in intervals of hours,daýs and week), add support for tag water change, when it took place, support for how many hours pumps and blowers being used with same intervals as heather). If those above mentioned features was enabled, owners could just set up a permanent device to keep track of those important details for an SPA owner.
