App didn’t work on iPhone 11 pro
Could not get the app to move past initial start screen. Tried redownloading app, shutting phone off and turning on.
An update that has a bug
The first issue of the programmer work flawlessly. Now if you have the app open and shut the nav lights off you can not reconnect unless you clear the app cache by double clicking the home button and swiping it away. I have cycled this multiple times and always the same. I have also experienced slow wireless logins after the update. The old app was lightning fast. I am on IOS 13.2 however I did an install on the original app on 13.2 before the update with no issue. From a listed installer.

Easy....but
Easy to use app, but it wouldn’t work on the first two iPhones I tried—both running iOS 13. Grabbed an iPad running previous iOS with cellular—worked fine. Interface could use a tiny bit of work to be more intuitive.
SkyBeacon App
Easy setup, just follow the instructions. The Reason I give it 4 stars and not 5 is because of the wifi connection to the device disconnects after takeoff. If you are using the strobe light (and you don’t have it connected to a wired switch) turning it on and off with the app, then there is no way to turn it off. Consider this if you may fly IMC at night or in low visibility where the strobe could reflect back to the cockpit giving you spatial disorientation. I don’t think the installation instructions or operating instructions list that as a warning, but they should.

Just works
The only thing I wish the app had is a screen showing the settings from the last WiFi connection for review.
WiFi failed
Just stuck on connect to WiFi even while connected! FAA report failed too
Easy
It worked flawlessly. Couldn’t be easier.
App didn’t work on my iPhone X
After installing my skyBeacon I began the WiFi configuration. I followed the app instruction and nothing would happen. The app would just stay on the initial startup screen with instructions for connection. I restarted my phone, deleted and downloaded the app again, and cycle power on the skyBeacon several times. A friend offered to download the app on his iPhone and it worked flawless. So good news is my skyBeacon is configured. Bad news is I may not have a friend’s phone to borrow if I need to configure it again.
