Nothing special

Backfire zealot user here-
1. Wish I could see the app in imperial rather than metric for my silly American brain.
2. Like seeing my battery% on my board and controller. Helpful to prepare for rides.
3. Connects pretty easily without any hiccups.
4. Thereโ€™s a kids mode so the boards sold after 2021 are โ€œsaferโ€.
5. The app seems like it had barely any thought put into it and as one review stated โ€œan unfinished product.

After getting the app I was expecting something horrible because of the 1.8 reviews. I guess my expectations were so low that I was pleasantly surprised by the app being mediocre.

No link with IOS 16.1

Very minimal app. Battery life and mileage is the only practical use. Now this is not accessible.
