RV Whisper - Thoughts?

I am thinking of purchasing the RV Whisper system to monitor things like temp, refrig, freezer, etc. It will be connected to my Starlink via wifi or perhaps a wifi hotspot I purchased from Straight Talk. Either way, I want to be able to monitor things remotely on my phone.
If anyone has used one of these how do you like it. Are there other systems that work better?

I use Ruuvi sensors connected to my Victron Cerbo GX which is either connected to Starlink or TMobile whichever I am using at the time.

Instead of a solution that locks you into their ecosystem, perhaps consider installing Home Assistant which will offer you infinite possibilities . Do a Google search "Home Assistant RV" to get some ideas. I am in the process of building out Home Assistant this now. Last trip I configured a Sonoff water shutoff valve designed for outdoor hose / sprinkler scenarios. Now we can remotely and quickly turn on / off the water whenever we leave, return to the camper. Right now we control the valve through our phones, soon it will be a voice command. Temp sensors, door compartment open/closed sensors coming soon.

Follow on... Check out Jim Beletti's post here and we started a new sub forum on automation here. I've not been active much this season due to other demands, more to follow there soon I hope.

I used RV Whisper in my class A and will be moving to our new 385FL. Had a sensor for the freezer, fridge, living area and it monitored my PowerWatchDog. Bought two more sensors to watch the temp in the kitchen and bedroom once installed in the 385FL.

I had notifications set for the fridge and freezer which has worked well. The app logs into the RVWhisper website and you can see all sensors at once and change any settings.

It does require annual subscription which costs $42. Overall it has worked well and they offer more types of sensors as well.
