The Balboa Worldwide App (bwa™), is an app for your Android® device that allows you to access your hot tub via a direct connection anywhere in the local proximity of your tub, anywhere in your house that you can connect to your local WiFi network, or anywhere in the World you have an internet connection to your smart device via 3G, 4G, or WiFi hot spots.
With the bwa™ app, you can ensure that your hot tub will be ready whenever you want to take a dip. Instead of going outside and pressing buttons on the topside panel, the app lets you start the tub and change settings from your smartphone or tablet.
The App provides full interface control so you can set the temperature, turn pumps on and off and even set filtration cycles.

How to install Balboa Worldwide - Spa Control APK on Android phone or tablet?
Download Balboa Worldwide - Spa Control APK file from ApkClean, then follow these steps:
Update Phone Settings
Go to your phone Settings page
Tap Security or Applications (varies with device)
Check the Unknown Sources box
Confirm with OK
Go to Downloads
Open Downloads on your device by going to My Files or Files
Tap the APK file you downloaded (com.balboawatergroup.balboaspa-v4.6.7-ApkClean.apk)
Tap Install when prompted, the APK file you downloaded will be installed on your device.
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.

1 ★Had new spa installed yesterday and this app is simply not fit for purpose. We have very good and fast wifi, everything is in close proximity and the app is intermittent often not connecting. 1 star is too generous for this disaster of an app.
3 ★The older version of this app was more stable. This app requires logging in every time and is slow. It does work once you spend a few hours trial and error setting it up.
1 ★Won't connect to the spa 95% of the time. Was working great then one day just stopped communicating with the tub. Good luck getting it to work consistently.
1 ★Never can connect always an issue. Control and app both worthless and waste of money.
1 ★Connection issues constantly. Cycle power then it works for maybe a few hours.
1 ★Just terrible app. Rarely works. Randomly switches on the blower sometimes when I open app.
3 ★Really not a good app. Constant disconnects, half the time icons don't show accurate status, and why in the world would it not show the temp you set it to, only current temp? Please hire someone better to fix up this app. 10/25: updating rating. App is more stable, and while it does often disconnect it does work. One thing I'd love to see built in is scheduling to be able to have temp go up for example at 6pm and back to a lower temp at 10pm.
1 ★DON'T buy Balboa if you want remote access, buy Gecko! After a year of waiting finnaly the 'all new improved' app was available! But nope, it's no better at all, the menus don't flow, next steps don't happen, it can't connect via cloud, basically NOTHING works! Not even on a new phone with latest updates. There really needs to be a zero star option as 1 is too good. Found the old app on Google and installed that one, it's bad but at least it occasionally works!
1 ★Not intuitive at all. Good thing a have another phone with 2.7 on it. At least it worked over Internet and mobile data. Balboa needs to put 2.7 back on the Play Store. Just talked with my spa guy today. He could not get his customers WiFi going either. And he is the tech guy. Jeez! MARCH 12TH UPDATE. In conjunction with the techs at BWA my spa Wi-Fi is up and running! The module that had been replaced was defective. After another module was installed my spa works as advertised. Thank You BWA
1 ★The "menu" pops up constantly and blocks the UI, when hitting local connect it shows a spinner and then fails, showing the menu again, even though it updated the UI in the background. In the rare case it connects properly it does not update the set temperature. Special feature: the cloud account does not allow special characters in the password, that's a new one 🤣
1 ★Terrible worse than the last app Cannot connect on iCloud App says it does not support the hot tub signal and only bought the hot tub last year. Truly awful and have wasted far too much time trying to get it to work Managed to get a local connection in the end but no use to me for my business. And the local connection is unclear in any event. Last app was better. Very annoying.
3 ★Really basic app. Had the connection issues others have complained about, but lately don't see it very often. Two big feature misses for this app: 1) why can't I change Ready/Rest mode from the app?? Really dumb that I have to go the spa to change something that you need to change when you want the spa to continously ramp up to a higher temp. 2) why can't I set a schedule when I want the spa to be at a certain temperature?
