BACKFIRE 17+

I was surprised of the many spelling and formatting errors I found throughout the app. Although the app did connect to my Zealot S, it didn’t offer more information than the remote. Overall, the app doesn’t feel like a finished product, lots of development left.

I had no issues signing in or registering, which was a pleasant surprise after seeing the reviews. The main reason I downloaded the app was so I could see more precise battery level on my board, and this app accomplishes this nicely. It displays the battery in 5% increments instead of 20%, which is my biggest gripe about the display that comes with the backfire remote. That said, I’m not a huge fan of the five second unskippable ads that play whenever you open the app and having to click through pairing instructions every time I want to connect to the board. Though it’s a bit inconvenient, I’ll probably keep using it for the points exchange. They’ve got some good stuff on there.

Look forward to more control of the boards functions.
-Acceleration and braking curves
-Km to miles
-update list of boards in “my skateboard” section

It would be could have an experimental feature that allowed a deceleration curve. The motors and belts cause a “motor braking” effect when letting off the acceleration. Would be cool if there was a way to mitigate that so we could just cruise to a stop when letting off the throttle like a traditional longboard could achieve.

Also an option to inverse the acceleration with the brake when the reverse switch is on. I have a bad habit of thinking I need to pull back the trigger to go in reverse.
