sPOD Bantam

First version I was using when i first got the sPOD was not great… but it worked well enough, and i could easily control brightness with the slider on the homescreen. Second version i was no longer able to find any way to control brightness on the app, now have to use the physical controls which is very inconvenient. Also the spacing of the buttons changed, causing me to have to re-learn muscle memory for operating the lights Current version now interrupts my audio bluetooth when the app is activated, in addition to another position shift of the buttons, and asks me to “pair” the app each time, and takes a few moments to activate each instance. Unfortunately, the pairing does not actually work, so i just have to click through menus before i can actually use the lights. This combined with the extra steps to get my audio back adds quite a bit of time and workload when im just trying to see better. Not ideal. Please concentrate on basic functions and ease of use- this is trending in the wrong direction.

I been using BantamX Touchscreen for a bit over 1 year now, overall I don’t have any negative things about it with the exception that the Bluetooth functionality is not strong enough to connect when you are far away from the unit… basically you have to be like 1 foot, 2 feet pushing it. Hopefully there’s an update to fix this issue.

Having used all of the spod apps in the past with different installs, it’s nice to be able to use a single app for all the sPOD Bluetooth options. There’s been some issues but John and his team are quick to get them addressed, you just have to let them know the problem exists! Some things I noticed: It would be nice for those who set the background color to black to not lose the text that is black into the background; maybe a text color select option? And also perhaps change the font? My only other request would be more icons to select from, and perhaps the ability to MIRROR an icon to easily distinguish between left and right sides of the same icon (left side or right side of work light/rack light for example). I suppose that making my own icons (or finding some on an image search, and using the “select image” option to import them could work as well, just more work 😁 Keep up the good work! Love my Bantam and this app just makes it better
