BS Companion

It’s rare that I’m pleasantly surprised with how simple and straightforward an app is, so I’m writing my first app review in probably a decade just to praise it! I opened it, tapped the button and my base stations instantly powered off. No scanning, pairing or other setup, no navigating menus, no ads, and no unnecessarily inflated app size (could almost fit on a floppy disk!). Just open and push button! With how software design trends have been over the past few years, I almost forgot how simple

SteamVR has always had issues properly turning on and off base stations and recently got even worse where it doesn’t turn them on most of the time and stopped turning them off. This app does it in 1 second, 30-60 seconds faster than SteamVR ever did. Stop unplugging and constantly open/closing SteamVR in hopes it finally does it, and just use this simple effective app.

Telling Siri to turn my base stations on or off is so amazing! All of my windows tools to do this broke and after spending an hour debugging that, I was so glad to spend $1.99 and have it taken care of instantly. Such a relief. It’s simply amazing Valve hasn’t built in this functionality to SteamVR yet…

This app is so helpful for easily turning your base stations on and off. I’ve used it for a long time. I recently had some issues and the developer was super helpful in working with me to fix. Great developer and great app!

This app has been great and has worked for several years that I have used it, although it seems to have quit working as of recent weeks. Not sure if it’s my base stations or what.
