### 5/5 — easy to use

*2022-11-08, version 1.89*

had a small problem connecting to the scales but after emailing the customer service i was told to put on my location services everything works spot on

### 5/5 — Worth every penny!

*2022-11-08, version 1.89*

Das Gerät ist Spitze und sein Geld wirklich Wert. Kann man deutlich sagen und es ist eine kompaktes und vor allem durchdachtes Gerät für den Modellflieger als auch für a der Zwecke nutzbar.

*2022-11-08, version 1.89*

Besser geht nicht.

### 5/5 — I recommend it to everyone without hesitation

*2022-11-08, version 1.89*

Das Gerät macht was es verspricht. Maximale Höhe, höchste Geschwindigkeit, zurückgelegte Wegstrecke und Durchschnittsgeschwindigkeit ermittelt es zuverlässig. Dabei ist es einfach zu bedienen. Sehr schön wäre natürlich, wenn man die Datensätze irgendwie auslesen könnte um sie mit Excel zu analysieren (GPS Koordinaten, Geschwindigkeit).

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Worse than before

*2025-04-10, version 1.960*

Manages to be less functional than the old skylink system with the ts160 esc, no curves, no motor overheat setting, no dual stage punch and worst of all no explanation of the settings they do provide.

### 1/5 — Error

*2023-06-18, version 1.942*

I had the scales working for a few weeks and everything was great. Then one day I connected to the scales and every time I put my RC on to weigh it, showed errors on all the scales. I will give a higher rating if this is solved.

### 1/5 — Drag racing

*2022-04-09, version 1.24*

The new update has made drag racing unusable, there is no more displayed time or graph

### 3/5 — Reduced Functionality

*2026-01-03, version 2.0.18*

I use this for GNSS speed testing.  Used to be able to enter data into a log before screen shot.  That was great, but it no longer has that feature.

### 3/5 — Doesn’t work with IOS 18

*2025-04-23, version 1.960*

Still doesn’t work with  IOS 18 on iPhone 16 Pro. Doesn’t connect to Bluetooth.

### 3/5 — GNSS Speed Accuracy?

*2024-06-09, version 1.960*

Hello

The unit reads live speed to 0.1mph but when recording a test run, the max speed shown is rounded to a whole number. I really would like to know the first decimal place… can the software/firmware be updated to solve this?

Thanks Sam

### 3/5 — Update the scale.

*2022-10-23, version 1.41*

It’s too glitchy. Once you put the car on the scale and get a reading, you push the car down or move it, you get a whole different reading. 

Even after you 2000g collaborate it, same thing.

### 5/5 — Excellent for weighing anything

*2025-08-26, version 1.969*

Other than balancing out/weighing just my rc cars, this is great for compare the weight of different batteries, wheels,  servos, motors and even hardware. Love it!

### 5/5 — Great customer service!

*2022-11-08, version 1.89*

My classmate recommended me to download it, it's easy to use

### 5/5 — Work smoothly!

*2022-11-08, version 1.89*

This software runs very smoothly, there are no crashes, and it is really much better than other similar software.
