great app

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

Essential app for Vesc riders

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.

great app, but subscription?

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.

Response from developer

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.

Great app for Vesc board

Use it for X10 By fungineers

Most Up To Date App Ever

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

Please stop breaking voice coaching

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.

New icon is 🔥🤙

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

The best VESC app by far!

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!

My go to app

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

Can’t connect to Thor400

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.

Response from developer

Sorry to hear that. I hope you got a refund

Has been my favorite. Won’t pick up the THOR301. (Revised)

I have used this app since I started with my first floatwheel. Now I’m three boards in and fell in love with the THOR/ Superflux motor combo. I just built a new p50b board with the THOR301. Everything on the board works, unfortunately I can only control it through Vesctool or Floaty because Float Control is only picking up my bms and vescespress. I wonder if I’ve set something wrong but the controller shows up those other apps. Need update soon and review will be 5 star.

Response from developer

Have you tried again recently? Things can get really complicated with multiple devices connected on the CAN bus. You can manually override which ID to use for your controller. Also, it now tells you which CAN ID it is trying to use.

This is the best app for Vesc one wheels

Great settings review for safety

This is a great app for safety, it reviews my incoming board settings and flags important items that I may have missed or set incorrectly. For instance, I went through board setup in Vesc Tool and FloatHub, and Float Control was STILL able to find some potentially unsafe settings. It also helped me troubleshoot an issue I was having and pointed me in the right direction (IMU issues). Even if I were to use Floaty, I’d still recommend connecting to this app when setting up a board just to double check. The interface could be a little clearer, it’s not always obvious what is a button or what can be long-pressed, but those are things you learn as you use the app. A+ for safety and thoroughness.

THE Float companion for iOS

Float control gives you all the control while riding your VESC based onewheel. Float confidently with full customization through FC!

Wish I could use it

I was told I could use this with my FM XRC.. I should have done the research and found out that it does not connect to stock boards. That being said, the app appears to have all sorts of awesome features that I wish I could try. I’m also a business owner who cherishes my 5 star rating. So it would be stupid to downrank this app bc of my stupidity. Best of luck and float on everybody

Easy and great !

The best for Vesc

This app just works beautifully to manage all the settings and see what your Vesc board is doing.

Great Job

Outside of apple bluetooth connection dropping this app is perfect! Unfortunately from what I have heard its more of a hardware issue. It works great but would be nice to know if there was a hardware fix for the BLE refresh / dropping.

Thanx so Much - SD
