Ratings and reviews

I was able to program the vesc completely from phone! I had a few issues with the one step programming regarding the amperage needed for the motors so I ended up going to the motor config tab to do it the old way. I would love if a simple units change option could be added (Mph) Update: The imperial units were added very quickly upon request! Thank you! At first I thought it didn't work but I just had to restart the app for it to change over.

Can lock you out of your board without a warning. If you delete a pairing, the app will not unpair first, nor give you a warning, which results in you not being to connect to your board anymore. Which is just great when you only updated one motor config and are nowhere near a PC to plug the board in. At the very least, a warning would be welcome. The latest update has a much better UI.

Worked well but missing some features. I was hoping to be able to adjust the throttle curve and stuff like remote deadzone but I don't think I can do that here. Also the remote settings are kinda hard to get to. Maybe we could get an app section like in the desktop version? Edit: changing to 5 stars (from 4) because you can connect a computer to your phone, getting the full program to work through Bluetooth. Kinda really cool
