### 3/5 — Meh?

*2026-05-20, version 6.06.2*

Works alright, but for a $5 app I would expect some kind of Apple Watch integration. Also it should just auto connect and go to a “favourite” page like RT data if wanted. Settings are pretty bare for a paid app.

### 3/5 — Uses wrong keyboard for data entry

*2025-12-22, version 6.06.2*

Numeric fields use numberPad instead of decimalPad on iOS, preventing decimal entry. Fields that require a decimal value are nearly impossible to enter. There’s no decimal key, ‘enter’ key and no way to move the cursor

### 4/5 — Little to learn

*2025-12-12, version 6.06.2*

missed the last button click to actually save my default config.  
   Updated the firmware thinking I had a config saved.  
  Was bummed.
   But With a little help from the community and float hub I got it set up again making most of the final adjustments with Vesc tool. 
  Have my default config saved and am pleased with how well Vesc tool works.

### 5/5 — Откатить версию

*2024-02-26, version 6.02*

Добрый день! Обращаюсь к разработчикам, помогите установить прошлую версию приложения, а именно 6.0.

### 3/5 — Can’t Save XML

*2024-01-23, version 6.02*

Please fix the XML save feature. When I try to save config to XML I get a broken navigation tool (often all white on white / cannot read) and pressing save does nothing.

Otherwise app is awesome!

### 5/5 — Good

*2023-11-24, version 6.02*

No critical bugs works great

### 5/5 — Older version?

*2023-04-07, version 6.02*

Is there a way to download 6.0?

### 3/5 — COULD NOT READ FIRMWARE VERSION

*2022-09-28, version 3.01*

Hello,

I have been using VESC TOOL on my iPhone for some time to read the data from my FLIPSKY esc via a Bluetooth module of the same brand and change the CONTROL TYPE parameter in the CFG/PPM APP tab.

I did a false manipulation pressed the READ button instead of the WRITE button.

Since then, I can no longer use the application because I have a READ FIRMWARE VERSION window that opens whose message is:

COULD NOT READ FIRMWARE VERSION. MAKE SURE THAT THE SELECTED PORT REALLY BELONGS TO THE VESC.

Do you have a solution to solve this problem?

In addition, using a mac, I am looking for a compatible version of VESC TOOL.

Seeing on your video that you are also using a mac, could you tell me how to get this version?

Warmly

### 1/5 — SAVE XML

*2026-08-14, version 7.00*

it isn’t posible saying motor settings XML

### 1/5 — v7.0 Doesn’t Backup or restore Configurations

*2026-05-23, version 7.00*

So far not able to backup or restore my configurations on Ennoid MK8 v6.5 on VESCTool v7.0. Not impressed with this update as no Ennoid firmware binaries are available for download either.

### 1/5 — Never works

*2025-10-11, version 6.06.2*

Every time I try and connect it says “read firmware” like I should just be able to connect to my controller not have to fight with the app not communicating well with the board or my phone

### 1/5 — Nie działa no moim telefonie

*2025-07-28, version 6.05.1*

Nie działa

### 1/5 — Junk

*2025-03-01, version 6.05.1*

Keep getting silly annoying error message about firmware. Doesn’t matter if I download the latest. This should have been fixed in an update by now. This is a paid app. Get your stuff together. Can’t run motor setup .

### 1/5 — What a let down -1 star

*2024-01-05, version 6.02*

Update made my skate board sound like it broken, it’s mad in even I don’t even know if I can fix it, it does work but it made my 6384 motors sound bad, only 2 out of for of them pull hard, what a let down, I going be testing this for weeks on end to figure out what going on, I recommend you “Not to upgrade.  I have videos of my set up before the update so I know what I’m talking and all 4 of the 6384 motors don’t sound right after the update.

### 1/5 — Log path is no good

*2023-05-28, version 6.02*

Please fix that and I’ll change my review… currently useless app for me

### 2/5 — BREAKS TO EASLY

*2025-09-13, version 6.06*

I have two VESC 75100 V2.0 Pro controllers—one I bought on Amazon and one from the official website. I spent around $200 total. They told me I could only return them if they were broken. I have a spare controller, but one of them short-circuited for no reason, blowing my fuses. The second one was having throttle issues, which I was able to fix, but one day the 5V port just stopped working. I reached out to have it repaired, and the repair cost was around $100 USD—the same price as buying a brand-new controller.

### 2/5 — Can’t save XML

*2024-06-22, version 6.02*

XML save feature is broken..

### 2/5 — Packages don’t load

*2023-03-02, version 6.0*

Packages don’t load. Works on android.

App works perfectly

### 5/5 — Super helpful tool

*2025-09-25, version 6.06*

This is a super helpful to to help me debug my DIY efoil I’m building with my 8 year old son. Now that I have my nrf51 Bluetooth module plugged into my FSESC 75100 UART2 port, I can see real time motor current and duty cycle and I don’t have to disassemble my waterproof box to plug a laptop into the USB port in the water. And it is also wonderful to adjust motor and battery settings from this App. Thank you so much.
