### 2/5 — Zubehör

*2024-09-25, version 1.0.10*

In der App wird Zubehör angezeigt was man gar nicht kaufen kann in Deutschland.

### 1/5 — No Assistance for 7350-PET

*2023-04-16, version 1.0.9*

Sub-standard app for basic Dremel tools; no selections / support offerings or ability to toggle for 7350-PET model, no ability to link your registered product (online) within app. Installed / deleted in less than a minute.

### 3/5 — Ideen für Weiterentwicklung der App

*2023-04-06, version 1.0.9*

Die App ist insgesamt eine interessante Idee, um eine Übersicht über die Möglichkeiten und die Tools zu erhalten. 
Interessant wäre noch:
- „Anklicken“ der Tools, die man besitzt/hauptsächlich nutzt, ermöglichen. Mit der Zeit verliert man die Übersicht. Das (Nach)Bestellen könnte dadurch vereinfacht werden. 
- generelle Übersichten auf Deutsch
- Forum für Anleitungen/Nutzungsideen/umgesetzte Projekte

### 1/5 — What is this for

*2023-03-11, version 1.0.9*

I don’t understand what use this is

### 3/5 — Good brand

*2023-01-24, version 1.0.9*

I like my dremel micro and 200 had both for some time if I could put them in the app to keep track of how they are progressing that would be pretty cool for replacement parts like manufacture recommended brushes for the 200 also The stationary dremel press and if I could put kits I have so I could see what materials I have or to order more specific bits or sanding drums polishing compounds for my dremel the app itself feels limited to Bluetooth products but hope the review helps.

Wrote the first review while back and came back very little change I’m still on the hunt for brushes for my first dremel because I would like to get back into actually using it instead of my micro really hoping for some change also for rotary should add a consumable section like polish also include a library of all products and allow ability to order but seeing as they are running a tik tok they won’t make any changes.

### 2/5 — Crash

*2022-07-25, version 1.0.7*

Used to work. Now crashes on both my iPad pro and iPhone 13 right away on launch. Nice idea when it works.

### 1/5 — Useless app!

*2022-07-16, version 1.0.6*

It gets as far as choosing the country, then refuses to go any further (I've tried every single one and none of them respond) - despite clicking, pressing, hammering on the Enter key on the keyboard, etc.  There is no Save or Next button - just a list of countries, and you can go neither forwards or back.  (This is on the iPad AND the iPhone.)

Do better, Dremel!  You're supposed to be a good company?

### 5/5 — Nach Neuinstallation läuft es wieder

*2022-06-21, version 1.0.6*

Nachdem die App beim Start ständig abgestürzt ist, hat eine Neuinstallation Abhilfe geschaffen.

Nun läuft wieder alles, wie es soll. Eine hilfreiche Information ist die Anzeige, wie lange der Akku unter verschiedenen Einsatz-Szenarien hält. Auch die Auswahl der Werkzeuge mit der Übertragung der zugehörigen Drehzahl-Einstellung ist sehr praktisch.

### 1/5 — Crasht sofort

*2022-05-07, version 1.0.6*

App funktioniert nicht mehr…

### 5/5 — Praktischer Assistent

*2022-05-05, version 1.0.6*

Für Leute, die nicht tagtäglich mit einem Dremel arbeiten, ist die App eine schöne Erweiterung. Übersichtlich gestaltet und unkompliziert in der Bedienung. 

Nach dem letzten Update musste ich die App erneut installieren. Jetzt läuft wieder alles.
