Smartphones have become an integral part of our everyday lives. It goes without saying that e-motion also makes full use of the benefits of this technology. The e-motion Mobility App is divided in three sections. The free section provides you with four pre-set driving profiles that influence the driving behaviour of your e-motion. You can also display the current speed, mileage or charge level on your smartphone and even record and save tours via GPS. In addition the app informs you about eventual errors and helps you to solve them. It shows you how to properly use the e-motion and the app helps you to prepare when travelling. If necessary you can also update the software of the e-motion wheels via your smartphone. You want have both hands free while moving or an extra dose of speed to go faster? With the Mobility Plus Package you can activate a variety of clever additional functions in the Mobility App. With the Mobility Plus Package you can increase the support speed from 6 km/h to 8,5 km/h and benefit from the Cruise Mode that allows you to keep a permanent speed of your wheelchair with only one deflection on the push rim. This does even work on uphill and downhill slopes. In addition you can use all functions of the ECS remote control on your smartphone and remotely control you wheelchair for parking. Moreover the Mobility Plus Package allows you to count the amount of pushes during a recorded tour. All this gives you even more from your e-motion! In the protected professional section you can individually adapt the driving behaviour of the e-motion. The following parameters can be adjusted: Maximum speed, maximum torque, sensitivity of the sensors as well as the ramp-up and follow-up time.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: i at 4.0 against e's 2.1. i also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 6) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 14.0). e's advantage is ratings volume (16 vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. e sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. i asks for nothing beyond the download.
i holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: e has 16 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
