### 1/5 — To many ads

*2026-03-21*

Worst ble app ever mover use trying to send signals and half way you get an add

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2025-07-01*

Nice app works great!  I use it all the time.

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2025-05-29*

Nice app works great!

### 1/5 — 花錢買付費軟體還有廣告

*2025-04-17, version 2.2*

把我當冤種宰，花了錢購買還要看廣告，很缺錢嗎。

### 4/5 — Everything works but ads?

*2025-04-15*

I paid for this app lol why are there ads

### 2/5 — Not bad sad

*2024-09-03*

So this is the first app I buy but still have to pay to remove adds. Really. If I remove adds for 3 dollars, will I get more buttons? It would be better to ask 5 for the app with no adds. Apple has turned in to android with all this in app purchases. Sad.

Update I’m using this for logging data. In the middle of logging an add pops up!! Really. I’m going to request a refund. This is not a useful app.

### 1/5 — Puts up ads after paying!

*2024-07-20*

This serves both passive ads and obstructive ads after paying for it! Ridiculous
Requested a refund from Apple straightaway

### 2/5 — 付費軟體，結果還是要等廣告？

*2024-04-06, version 2.2*

就是不想等廣告，所以才用iOS來購買，結果還是要等廣告？？？

另外會一直出現「The attribute could not be found.」Android的手機就不會這樣

### 5/5 — Works great

*2024-02-01*

Easy to use, and the preset feature is really nice. Best app for control.

### 4/5 — Embedded dev

*2023-12-06*

Works fine for embedded development on esp32.
