Needs Molicel 21700 battery update
Great app I dig it I just wish the creater would update it for molicel 21700 batteries since that is the way of the future for Eboards and not the LION batteries. Any molicel battery info will be completely wrong.
Abandoned
Development has stopped
First run
First run with this new app and it seems to run as advertised. Keep up the good work guys and please continue to sending out updates over the air. It means a lot to me knowing that app creators will continue to polish their apps and adding New features!
Great features, but has a lot of bugs
Thereโs a lot of love about this app, it works great for ride tracking and checking VESC telemetry. However, itโs got a lot of bugs. For starters, if the units are set to imperial (Fahrenheit, miles, etc.), it displays the wrong motor temperature. It seems that the math to convert the motor temp to Fahrenheit isnโt being done correctly. First of all, when the units are set to Fahrenheit, the motor temperature still displays with ยฐC at the end, NOT ยฐF. That was probably just a small oversight, but it shows the motor temperature at about 170ยฐC when itโs actually at room temperature, which is not at all correct. I know for a fact that this is NOT a problem with my board, the Stormcore app displays the temperature in Fahrenheit just fine, and this app displays the correct motor temperature when set to Celsius. And oddly enough, this app DOES display the correct ESC temperature when set to Fahrenheit, itโs only the motor temperature that is problematic.
Also, in the battery settings, it seems that the Li-ion/lipo setting is backwards. My battery is a li-ion pack, and when I set the battery to LIPO in this app, it displays the correct Wh rating, but when set to li-ion it displays the wrong one.
The feature to change VESC settings is also useless. If I change current limits on the VESC in this app, after I write the changes to the VESC the motors spin the wrong way. The motors spin in the opposite directions of each other, rendering the board unrideable. There is NO way to fix this through the app after it happens, this app doesnโt have the option to change motor direction. Before VESC tool for iOS was out, I had discovered this problem on a group ride. I tried to change my VESC settings in this app, and after I wrote them to the board, one motor spun forwards and the other spun backwards. I had to run around and find someone with an Android phone who had VESC tool mobile so I could fix the board, or else I wouldโve had to leave the group ride.
Itโs not all bad though, this app IS the most feature-rich VESC tracking app on iOS (besides VESC tool). I especially like the setting to double VESC data so it will show the appropriate stats for a dual motor board.
Overall though, considering this app was $10 I expect it to not have these irritating bugs, or at least to fix them. I reported all of these bugs months ago, both through the app and on the esk8.news forum, and I never heard back from the developer. They were never fixed.
I really want to like this app, but considering itโs a paid app (and an expensive one at that), I just canโt recommend it in its current state with all of these bugs.

Battery level no longer shows
App worked great up until 2 months ago. It no longer shows the battery level/charging. I have focbox unity and connects Bluetooth.Really the only reason why I have this app is so I can see my battery level, now thereโs no way for me to check it. I updated the firmware and the app as well.
Question
Is this app compatible with flipsky Vesc 4.0 ?
Thank you
Thank you
Needs supports for 5.02
Great app, needs support for the new VESC software. Otherwise useless. The ability to configure settings like in the VESC tool would be a feature I would 100% pay for. (Throttle curve, smart current reverse, deadband, traction control, etc)
Update needed
Good app, needs update for 5.2 FW support.
Awesome
Great
Bien mais
Lโapplication fonctionne bien sur le tรฉlรฉphone mais il ne communique pas avec lโApple Watch.
Les infos ne sโinscrivent pas sur lโApple Watch pourquoi?

Buggy.
The app is buggy. Crashes and doesnโt update motors correctly is you have master + slave ESC with one motor reversed. Canโt be used to update setting on the MetroboardX. The new StormCore app might be the way to go once it launches. Would be great if this app got an update. Ty

Works great for kaly nyc
But 2 things
1. Some sort of quick set up shindig where you walk the person through syncing the board and setting gears, battery etc
2 make the real time mph bigger or if we touch the real time speed it gets bigger taking up a chunk of the screen so itโs a easy to read while riding gauge

For the iPhone user!
Thank you so much. Works great! I just got it but overall very pleased.
App barely works
The interface is very hard to use. What can it even do with a VESC? The only real value it has is to show the battery percentage. Beyond that it is not useful.
Not accurate
When by battery is fully charged, the app shows 93% and 49.3v instead of 50.4 (the battery is brand new and good as verified with a meter). Also speed and distance readings are off. Iโm bummed I paid for this app. My friend is having the same issue with it. Iโm thinking about getting a cheap android phone just to use for my board.
EDIT: got a new VESC and the battery readout is working now.

Good between iPhone and Focbox Unity
Iโm very surprised with how quick and consistent the connection is between my iPhone and Focbox Unity. My critique is that Iโm not able to change between modes, so Iโm stuck with the settings I last loaded onto the ESC. Iโd like to see more interface customization; specifically being able to customize which parameters youโre viewing, and in what order. That would be a huge plus. The battery gauge on the main screen is a bit glitchy. It says my battery is at 0% when itโs at 40%. Another point to improve is the map. It often automatically zooms back into your current location when youโre trying to zoom out to see where youโve been. Finally, and most importantly (lofty as it may be), Iโd like to be able to go in and edit the settings on my Focbox Unity. I know that Enertion has an Android app for that, and never got around to developing the IOS, so this will have to do. All in all, Iโd say itโs worth the $6 that I paid for it.

A great app, that just works
Iโve never had a problem with it. Itโs easy to open and start a ride; I never feel inconvenienced or hindered by it.
One feature that is great is fault logging, which is great for debugging your VESC settings.
However, I considered giving this review 4 stars because the app is sorely missing a feature. It does not log the current, speed, distance, etc for the entire ride- only the max/mins of each. I hoped when I got this app, I would easily be able to see a line graph of current draw over time, to see where on my ride I was drawing the most power.

Eh... 1 big flaw
modes aren't working properly for 2 motor systems where slave motor goes in reverse after applying a mode. Love the app for everything else but sometimes i would like speed modes and i canโt do them.
Good basic features, but needs polishing
Overall, app connected to the board without much effort. The stats seem to feed real-time and also show up on my Apple Watch. I really like the simple watch UI, which is the primary reason I downloaded the app. Now to the issues...
1. Apple Watch app needs to stay on the screen like a workout app, it disappears after timeout making it hard to pull up current speed and battery life.
2. Need a way to save off and restore the current parameters on the board. Right now, you lose configs very easily. Maybe at a minimum have the + populate with the existing values currently on the board.
3. CAN FWD should be a first class UI element. Itโs too clunky to switch back and forth when changing modes or wanting to see stats.
4. Ideally, stats would be read from the CAN bus in real time. Doubling the single motor stats is a reasonable estimation I guess.
5. Not all stats doubling is functioning properly (i.e motor temp is doubled).
6. TCP Bridge! Would love to avoid opening up my enclosure to do VESC Tool config.
Thanks for development the app and feel free to reach out to discuss the issues noted.

Pretty looking but needs some love
The app interface is pretty and the overall usability is good, but the core functionality needs some love โ The numbers on the stats screen change too frequently and the battery indicator too. Iโm not sure this is a VESC issue or app issue, but it makes the app unusable. Also speed modes ended up messing with my VESC configuration and I had to go back to VESC tool to reconfigure again. This and other rough edges are a bummer because the rest of the app is pretty good. Fix these issues and polish some of the rough edges and it will be a 5 star.
