Step Needs Clarification

The wobble check works great when determining which blade(s) are suspect. Under Check Wobble would be nice if it recorded what the wobble is before adding weight clip. You have to watch the numbers and make an educated guess After testing each blade by installing the weight clip, the App asks for the distance from center of fan to tip of blade. The App then provides suspected blade number(s) and distance from tip of blade(s) towards center to install clip weights. My blade length is 29.25 inches. The App returned Blade #1, place clip weight 24.75 inches from tip back to center. This landed into the metal arm of the blade which has no surface to secure the clip or a permanent weight. I ended up testing wobble by moving the clip weight along various distances on blade #1. Final point to mount weights was 1/2 inch from blade #1 tip—the opposite end where the App called to place weight. I reduced the wobble from 13.55 to 1.73 Avg using three 3gram weights. Fan works great and knocking sound is gone.

Outstanding app

I’ve spent two hours trying to balance 24” down road ceiling fan, it was close but not perfect. I’ve started researching if there are any electronic devices that can help me, and found this app. All you need a sticky black dot and a measuring tape, it has balanced it perfectly on first try!!! Super impressive

Actually works

I install fans for a living and those eight bladed fans, balance, and saves a lot of time with this app. I just wish you can bump it up to like 10 blades homeowners are buying bigger and bigger fans lately with more blades on them I would pay for that update

Excellent!

Works exactly as advertised. Follow the instructions and it’ll tell you what to do. Very straightforward and precise! Thank you for this app!

Soooo damn good

Possibly the best 3 bucks you can spend…on anything.
