Ratings and reviews

So for context, I have a Permobil F5vs. I've tried to keep it connected to this app but it seems to fail constantly. When you turn the Bluetooth on and connect it to your phone, it automatically connects to the app. For the past few months or so, it always says disconnected, no matter what you do. I had it working a few days ago, but then I received a software update this morning. Now it's back to staying constantly disconnected. Even when I have the chair connected to my phone. Please fix!

Dashboard shows the Battery tile twice, overlapping and obscuring Mileage tile. "Last 7 Days" Charging history hasn't worked in months. Current charge level never matchs what chair controller reports (often 30%+ difference). For comparison, iOS app at least displays correctly (although Charging history is still broken). Contacted support and they said "Oh yeah, the app has never worked right." I'd think it was abandonware if it didn't receive occasional updates (that fix precisely nothing). Junk

I forgot to plug in my charger last night to the wall. The app registered that the charger was plugged into the chair. The app recorded a charging session and thinks my chair was charged when it was not. So the app doesn't really know the voltage of the chair. It's just making estimates based on time and not even true voltage reading going in from charger. For these chairs costing 30k plus we deserve a better functioning app with more features. It should read more stats about the chair.
