Ratings and reviews

Works fine but giving it only 4 stars because it causes my Spotify music to stop playing via Bluetooth sometimes and connectivity is sketchy (though that's probably because of all the metal between the box and phone). Please add logging of sensor values so we can view them in spreadsheet software / see it in a graph!

(Update)App appears to not work with android headunits,cannot be found whilst scanning for bluetooth devices, lastest update has slightly improved on connection with app on mobilephone, though switching off bluetooth on phone, app resets itself and can no longer connect, module has to be put back into pairing mode again to be able to reconnect. Very poor app, that it appears not to be compatible with android auto, personally not worth the extra money.

I seem to have the same issue as a lot of people here whereby it will connect fine the first time it's paired but then never connect again. Sometimes if I wait 5-10 minutes it will connect again but then drop after 10 seconds or so. Really frustrating as I paid £50 extra for Bluetooth capabilities.
