Ratings and reviews

The intent of this app is a great idea. Unfortunately, saying it falls short would be an understatement. Unlike others, I had no trouble pairing my phone to my chair. My issues are with the information the app displays about the chair. For example, the position of each actuator is hit or miss. It'll show the position of the recline and legrest properly, but shows nothing for the tilt and elevator. The info about the battery is wrong as well. I have a BS in computers. I can create a better app.

For basic reference, its fine but some routes to access information are clumsy and not intuitive. Using different colours in some areas is nonsensical. Worse though, information is verryyyy slow to update; e.g. mine came off charge over two hours ago, and the app is still not showing it. It also badly underestimates capacity remaining. Mileage estimation is **BAD**! Seems to guestimate based on last seven days. That's not useful at all. Don't tell me i've got 3 miles left when ive got 14+!

I have been charging my chair for more than 24 hours and the app still says the chair is at 67% charged. The app hasn't updated once in that time, the charging tab shows a blue icon no green icon. The seating positions don't update, and the map never shows anything useful. So much for real time updating of chair statistics, if this worked the app would be useful, this app has been like this for more than 2 years, completely useless dud app. This is medical grade equipment, extremely disappointed

What’s new

Fixed an issue where the app would crash if Bluetooth was turned off. Now, the app properly detects and handles Bluetooth being disabled, prompting the user to enable it instead of crashing.
