Perfect!
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
Perfectly solves the problem
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.
Flawless and instant
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…
Lifesaver and helpful developer
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!
Worked for years, but stopped
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.
Can't be beat
Simple, to the point
>> Has a way easier interface than alternatives on android
>> Developer is on top of making sure this thing works for everyone
>> Worth every penny
Used it for over a year on 1.0s 2.0s even Valve + HTC 2.0s its rock solid
Works amazingly for what its supposed to do
Its amazing i use it all the time
It’s good when it works
Old: Cannot turn station off once updated to the new release.
Update: It kinda fix itself so back to 5 star
Revised
App working correctly now! I think there was an iOS bug!
Works great
Allows you to make sure if your base stations are still on when they are not supposed to, u can just turn them off, worth every penny.
Essential App!
This app is super simple to use and absolutely essential if you have your base stations in your room, especially if your setup makes it difficult to unplug them!
My only request would be to add Apple Shortcuts support so we can tell Siri to turn the base stations on or off, or at least a small new-style widget so a one-touch button can be added to my Sleep focus homepage.
Edit: Thank you for the response!! So awesome to hear you’ve been working on adding Shortcuts! I’ll check it out!
Works great, but could use Shortcuts integration.
I use this app when using a combination of the Quest 2 and Vive trackers. I’ve been very happy with the convenience of being able to shut down my base stations instead than unplugging them every time. I only wish there was integration with Shortcuts. While turning them off manually via the app works well, automating this process would be fantastic.
Must-have for annoying base stations
It simply does the thing. No setup required
Awesome App! 10 stars if i could!
I would have paid $10 for this app. I have the Varjo Aero and this is the only way that I can turn my base stations 2.0 off without unplugging them. You should advertise in the DCS and MSFS Varjo threads. I found your app by accident after about 3 hours of thread reading. Great job!
It just works!
I was a little worried about my trackers being on all the time, got this app app and without any setup it just shuts them off, thank you!
