MC3000 4+

Its the only charger that gives you this sort of control, so it gets points simply for having a working Bluetooth app. However, I’ll always be wary that they don’t really have any incentive to keep this app working. Seems like they are (very slowly) fixing bugs, which is appreciated. The one major bug I encounter currently (and have encountered much more often since the most recent update) is that the app is awful at keeping Bluetooth connected to the device. The only way I’ve found to reconnect reliably is to restart the device, but I do not like to interrupt programs that are currently running. One feature request: these new 1.5v lithium batteries are very useful with devices for whom the 1.2v of an NiMH is not enough. I’m sure I can get them to charge fine by using unusual settings on various battery types, but it would be nice if they were simply added to the “battery type” list.

The idea of the app is great, but it lacks in functions. Half of what you can do on the charger you can't do in the app. And what you can do is sometimes a little unintuitive. I hope Sky RC is going to make an update fixing that.

I bought the SkyRC MC3000 to use as a stand alone charger. So I paid little mind to this app for the first 6 months of ownership.

However, now that I’m delving into the app more, I find it quite useful. 1) simply monitoring battery charging without having to travel to the garage is great. I open my phone from several rooms over and launch the app, it connects and tells me what’s going on. 2) I’ve now started creating simple programs in the app. Sure they don’t have all the same features you can get at the machine, but it has enough.

I see other reviews complaining about stuff like “slots are labeled 0-3 rather than 1-4”. smh. The app works, and is a welcome change from the world of crappy apps companies try to foist on you for added value to their hardware.
