### 3/5 — Good when it works

*2021-08-19*

Great app for intuitive changes and making the board easy to find, using this with my Unity it connects but often doesn’t go past the motor connection stage and gets stuck

### 5/5 — Much needed

*2021-08-08, version 0.18.0*

This great app doesn’t only show you live ride stats (battery, speed, temperatures and all that) but also interfaces with the Robogotchi logger so you’ll automatically get stats for all of your rides even if you don’t have the app open/didn’t record the ride. This is a massive step up compared to any app that relies on weak Bluetooth connectivity to record your trips. On top of all that, it also allows you to access esc setting and tweak them on the go both on iOS and Android. Soon to be the only app you’ll ever need! Keep up the good work

### 5/5 — Brilliant, well thought out.

*2021-08-08*

Simple and intuitive but with a powerful tool to adjust vesc settings even if you haven’t got their module. Even better if you go the whole hog and purchase the robogotchi from FreeSK8.
