### 5/5 — great app

*2026-06-28*

It’s really a very good app, and very functional without a subscription.

**Developer response:** As you noted, the app provides all of the key features without the subscription. But the tool does need to constantly be updated to support new packages and firmware versions.

### 5/5 — Essential app for Vesc riders

*2026-04-18*

Thank you dado for making this app. Many of us rely on this app to ride daily and it has served as an indispensable tool for riding safely. Wouldn’t be the same without it. A lot of us owe our complete thanks to you. And hai g watch support is also amazing. Being able to see all the information on your wrist just makes it that much better. Keep up the amazing work to you and all developers making riding more fun and safe.

### 4/5 — great app, but subscription?

*2026-03-12*

It’s really a very good app, and very functional without a subscription. But charging a subscription fee, even if it’s just for a UI and it’s only $1 is distasteful. It’s not like netflix where the whole point is a constant feed of new content. I’d pay a fair amount if it was just a 1 time fee, even pay per major update, but to have money constantly siphoned from my bank account that i’m eventually going to forget about is unacceptable and I urge everyone to not give in to this.

**Developer response:** As you noted, the app provides all of the key features without the subscription. But the tool does need to constantly be updated to support new packages and firmware versions.

### 5/5 — Great app for Vesc board

*2026-02-17*

Use it for X10 By fungineers

### 5/5 — Most Up To Date App Ever

*2025-12-20, version 3.1*

The fact that the developer keeps making it better and better, is the reason this app is the best!

### 4/5 — Please stop breaking voice coaching

*2025-11-26*

Voice coaching allows me to ride my Vesc near its limits safely. It’s way more reliable than trying to feel pushback when you’re not on smooth flat ground - but every now and then there’s an update that breaks it. I’m at the point where I need to disable automatic updates for all App Store apps just to make sure I get duty cycle and speed warnings on my commutes. It’s such a great feature it’s just a shame that you can’t trust it to work.

### 5/5 — New icon is 🔥🤙

*2025-11-26*

App is only getting better and the new icon is awesome!

### 5/5 — The best VESC app by far!

*2025-09-10*

Fantastic work by the Float Control team! This is not only my “go-to” app, it’s the only one I use to log rides, make quick changes and track stats. Watch companion is awesome!

### 5/5 — My go to app

*2025-08-10*

Been using the app for about 2 years. Haven’t had any issues.

### 1/5 — Can’t connect to Thor400

*2025-08-09*

It freezes on 10% while connecting to Thor400. No issues with Floaty (which is free) or VESC tool. Not sure why I paid money for this garbage.

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear that. I hope you got a refund
