### 3/5 — Nothing special

*2023-02-07, version 1.63*

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. There’s a kids mode so the boards sold after 2021 are “safer”. 
5. The app seems like it had barely any thought put into it and as one review stated “an 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.

### 1/5 — Fix pls

*2023-01-02, version 1.63*

The app doesn’t show anything when I connect to board :(

### 1/5 — Not compatible with g2 black

*2022-12-25, version 1.63*

There’s no G2 black option on the menu.

### 1/5 — No link with IOS 16.1

*2022-11-29, version 1.62*

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

### 1/5 — This app is not working atm was working fine for the past 400 miles

*2022-11-27, version 1.62*

This app is not working atm was working fine for the past 400 miles???

### 3/5 — Ehhhh

*2022-09-29, version 1.62*

So far it does what it says . But I can literally get this intel on the remote. I’ll check it out for awhile but kind of useless unless you want the flashy colorful stuff on the app.

### 1/5 — Nothing…

*2022-08-05, version 1.62*

The app doesn’t function

### 2/5 — Not a Finished Product

*2022-06-12, version 1.62*

I was surprised of the many spelling and formatting errors I found throughout the app. Although the app did connect to my Zealot S, it didn’t offer more information than the remote. Overall, the app doesn’t feel like a finished product, lots of development left.

### 3/5 — Worked ok for me.

*2022-05-19, version 1.62*

I had no issues signing in or registering, which was a pleasant surprise after seeing the reviews. The main reason I downloaded the app was so I could see more precise battery level on my board, and this app accomplishes this nicely. It displays the battery in 5% increments instead of 20%, which is my biggest gripe about the display that comes with the backfire remote. That said, I’m not a huge fan of the five second unskippable ads that play whenever you open the app and having to click through pairing instructions every time I want to connect to the board. Though it’s a bit inconvenient, I’ll probably keep using it for the points exchange. They’ve got some good stuff on there.

### 1/5 — A new problem every update

*2022-05-04, version 1.62*

This is probably one of the worst apps I’ve ever used. With every updated there’s a new issue. Do yourself a favor and avoid this app at all costs.
