Perfect! Given the limitations of the hardware ... Perfect!

By Whitekj (Pcmac user)

Nice job! Well thought out. I’d just echo another reviewers comment from March about the directions for connectivity procedure could be tweaked - last step - hold down A and B buttons until 5x5 LED screen ... Oh, and for those who criticized the app for needing to repeat process of BLE connectivity ... not the software developers issue. Ten minutes of internet research on hardware website would help you understand this. FAQ! FAQ! Minor inconvenience given the utility of the app and hardware. Engineering any product or idea always results in compromises. Understand this and you’ll have more reasonable expectations. Deep thought or common sense? Hmmmm
Works like a charm!

I would recommend clarifying the instructions for Bluetooth pairing. I had trouble figuring out that the “press and release the reset button” step really means “press and hold the reset button for one full second, then release”.
Works Great But Read Instructions Carefully

By Eukota (Pcmac user)

Connectivity can be pretty complicated. When I got mine, I had to go download a new hex file with Bluetooth pairing enabled before I could do any pairing. Once that was done the pairing works great. And the App has great tutorials that I can easily download. I’m impressed.
