### 4/5 — Needs refinement

*2025-11-11*

It makes my machine so much more versatile. I wish bobcat could remodel the control screen and take input from actual users instead of some engineer in an office. Overall for me it is money well spent but with a little fine tuning would be fantastic.

### 1/5 — Rip off

*2025-05-10*

Forget the bugs with the max control hardware, this app is useless. No buttons work, can’t add a machine, can’t delete anything. On fifth harness and can’t delete any of the old machines or test users. What an absolute joke

### 1/5 — $2600 doesn’t connect

*2025-04-27*

I just spent this money, easy installation. Now it will not connect. The dealership had no information, didn’t know if I needed it at the dealership.
Can’t find anything in the instructions, or on line. No way to add a machine…  I love bobcat machines, but it seems like the people they have working, don’t ever know anything about the product they sell. 
Took this home on Friday, but the answering machines, says to call back Monday-Friday… business hours… when I’m scheduled to work. 
It’s 2025… you can run machines on your phone, but can’t provide any kinds of help, on the internet, or by phone.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t connect

*2025-02-25, version 1.1.18*

Horrible app and system, always giving can’t connect error

### 3/5 — Control T770

*2024-11-10, version 1.1.16*

Works. But disappointed that some features only work with R series machines. Bobcat should update to make all features to work with M machines.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2023-12-15*

Very temperamental, too many issues with connectivity and controls.

### 3/5 — Razer controller

*2023-09-30*

* Please note that the BobTech function is not operational. As a result, switching or connecting attachments using the MaxControl setting is not possible. 

 Dear MaxControl Development Team, I am writing to inquire about the integration of the Razer Kishi controller with MaxControl. It has come to my attention that integration with this controller peripheral could greatly enhance the functionality and user experience of MaxControl. The Razer Kishi controller, with its ergonomic design and ultra-low latency inputs, is ideally positioned to complement the features and performance that MaxControl offers. I was wondering if the development team has already considered implementing support for the Razer Kishi controller, and if so, what the projected timeline for making this integration available to the user base might be. Additionally, I would like to suggest the possibility of commencing a beta testing phase for this integration. Beta testing could be highly advantageous, as it would allow users to actively contribute by providing invaluable feedback and identifying any potential issues prior to the full release. This, in turn, can contribute to optimizing the performance and ensuring compatibility and stability. Moreover, as a devoted user of MaxControl and a software engineer, I would like to express my keen interest in participating in any beta testing initiatives. My enthusiasm is fueled by a strong belief that the amalgamation of MaxControl's capabilities with the Razer Kishi controller’s functionality could redefine the user experience and provide a competitive edge in the market. I would appreciate any information you can provide on the current status of Razer Kishi controller integration and the prospects for beta testing. Furthermore, I would be grateful for the opportunity to collaborate as a beta tester if such a program is initiated. Thank you for your time and consideration. I eagerly anticipate the potential evolution of MaxControl with the integration of the Razer Kishi controller. Sincerely

### 1/5 — Will not connect

*2023-07-20*

Just after installing this and getting the authorization from Bobcat have always lost connection usually when first starting the machine.  Now I cannot connect to the machine just get a unable to connect error

### 3/5 — Not bad

*2023-03-06*

We also have connectivity issues. We had to replace our fist one after only one year of use so that sucked. But it beats having to fork out $15,000.00 pre-tax for the radio frequency o
System with a physical control.
