New VRM iOS Widget is a step backwards

Your new large widget for iOS is a big step backwards. It no longer shows solar product nor battery level. Please offer the pervious version as an optional widget.

Hi all,
repeating what @nickdb mentioned; due to the widget getting quite full with data, we decided to split the status widget into 2 with the new release.

I understand that when you aren't interested in the forecasts, needing 2 widgets feels like a step back. We will bring back the old widget as an additional choice. I will update you when this is available again. Thank you for raising your concerns!

I agree. After updating the VRM app on iOS the large widget was changed and now the current solar production in watt is missing as well as the battery SOC as easy to read number.

Can we please have the old widget as an option?

New design


The original provided better data then the new one does.

Ah ok. that top section is in a status widget of its own, that can be added separately. The main widget was improved to provide clearer views of the data and today, tomorrow and next week options.

I also feel the new large widget design is a step backwards, and would much prefer to have the old design back as an option. I don’t personally have a need to view the following day’s/week’s forecast, whereas seeing the current battery SoC is very useful to me.
