Good product. Worst app
Was thrilled about the app, until I tried to use. Using the app to connect to the unit takes multiple attempts. If you're lucky to get it to connect. Getting Bluetooth options for both the touch pad and the BantamX power unit. Tried the BantamX to connect with no success. They make a good product, but don't relate to the average customer on how to use. .

Useless
I downloaded the app, it opens up and start scanning. Then it shows a “connecting to” screen and keyboard comes up to type in a pair code but it didn’t instantly disappears and then the process keeps repeating.
I don’t know what to do.

Needs some work
Update September 2026:
Spoke to SPOD support via email. Took a bit to hear back from them. But they had me change the debug dip switch to diagnostic mode. This drastically improved performance but I feel like this app needs some work still. Some of the features are still buggy for setup but as far as operation it’s now reliable. For the premium cost of the hardware, I feel like the software should match.
The app will open connect sometimes and when you do connect the switches turn off randomly within a minute regardless if your app is connected or not. The app says I need to update my bantam x but doesn’t indicate any way of doing so. Why sell the bantam x as an app standalone when it can’t even perform as such. I don’t want to drop an extra few hundred dollars for a controller that may fix the issues

Horrible
This app is pretty bad. The Bluetooth takes forever to get connected to. Constantly loses connection regardless of what iPhone I use. No apple car play option. Like come on, update this app more frequently and clean up the UX.
Unreliable
Drops connection repeatedly over and over.
