With the app running, the device manager taps the device or scans the 2D code printed on the device to register the device to their agency and assign or reassign it to a specific user. The supported devices are outlined in the help section in the application. Axon Device Manager (ADM) allows users to scale Axon device deployment and management in a simple and efficient way. This application requires an Evidence.com account for access. You must have an iPhone 7 or later equipped with Near Field Communication (NFC) and iOS13 or later.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Axon Device Manager holds the better App Store score, 3.1 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Axon Device Manager has 19 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of EFORCE's written reviews are positive against 14% of Axon Device Manager's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
EFORCE ships an update monthly, Axon Device Manager every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
