pfodAppV2 BT,BLE,Wifi,SMS for Android
Excellent product. Meets the needs of my intended projects perfectly. I had been searching for a wireless Bluetooth LE app, that would allow for more substantial interactive control of an Arduino. Also more importantly; I was looking for an app, that could download and write larger volumes of logged data to file (I tried several other apps that could not accomplish this). This app does! The pfod Designer app, which is a free download, with many features far too numerous too list, is used in conjunction with this pfodApp BT, BLE, Wifi, SMS, to professionally develop your own personal Arduino interface. I had thought that learning Android programming would be required, in order to develop an intensive enough app suitable to my needs. Not so! No Android programming is required. For anyone contemplating robotics, automation and control, or data logging projects, just to name a few, this app should be a lot of fun!
Great App , with excellent support from the developer . Easy to use and configure if you , like me, are new to using Arduino .
Initially had BT troubles (not due to the app!) But developer supported anyway and solved within 24h (consider 10hours time difference too!) Now running w Android and Seeeduino BT frame 100%. This support joint with the genuinely smart concept is a 5 star. Containing the menus in your relevant sketch is sooo much easier once you start bulk up loads of various Arduino sketches. Best of luck to this developer!
Arduino does not let me compile and gives me a curieEEPROM missing message I've installed your library's from your site ,not sure what to do next
I used pfodApp to create a versatile multi level menu based user interface for controlling discretionary loads on an off grid power system. The developer is extremely helpful and responsive in addressing any difficulties with the use of the app.
+++++++This may be the best app I've ever bought. +++++++ I was looking for an app to control my arduino using bluetooth. I found a whole bunch of them that didn't work. They wouldn't connect, and you couldn't change the GUI to suit your needs.. pfod worked first time, now I'm having fun designing my own GUI. Developer is VERY fast to respond to questions.
Excellent App! Extremely well documented and supported, easy to use and works perfectly. Lots of flexibility, sliders make for an easy way to adjust micro controller parameters while a wide range of formatting options allow for plenty of creativity in designing an attractive interface to Arduino projects. The logic and program flow that underpins pfod makes it a delight to use. The icing on the cake is an easy to use security option so micro controller systems can be confidently exposed to the internet. A thoroughly professional app in every way.
A really great app for simple yet powerful and flexible interface to microcontrollers. Why fiddle with buttons and LCD displays when you can build a great interface on your phone? I have built several sophisticated front ends for arduino projects in a short time with straight forward code. Just about any embedded micro project can benefit from the interface that this app provides.
It used to work good now with the latest update it won't stay connected for more than 5 seconds loses connection with Bluetooth
It crashes when exiting and then won't restart without rebooting the phone. It would also be very helpful if the examples in the specifications document were published. It's always easier to modify code than to start again...
I used this app (amongst others) to replace my Arduino data logger using an SD card and LCD for monitorring. The logging is now done on the smartphone and gives a graphical representation of measured data.
When using ip connection to wifi device program does not auto reconnect tumeouted connection. Also ui is quite horrifying.
Excellent protocol, nice user interface. Did exactly what i wanted. Great support too.
Together with the free pfodDesigner you get results very quick. Support is fantastic.

This app allows you to program your arduino and have your own apps interface show up on your android phone, having first used pfodDesign to design the interface. Great response from the developer if you have any questions.
Good technical help, fast response for my project
Excellent customer service and support! They even helped me add an extra button on my phone for a 2nd garage door.
A really great app but the underlying protocol is the real genius behind the app. Was able to develope a relatively sophisticated interface for an arduino project in a short time with straight forward code. Just about any embedded micro project can benefit from the interface that this app provides.
Tutorials are an excellent help to new programmers. Great and fast response from the developer regarding questions. Does exactly what I need and much more.
Works perfectly!

The developer is a joy to work with. He offered to help me get the app working with a non supported MCU and he had an up and running program within a couple of weeks. absolutely amazing. Anyone that gives this app a bad review either doesnt know what they are doing or did not contact or listen to Mr. Ford.
