Another update is rolling out right now. We were mostly resolving reported issues and have patched a pretty big bug that was causing the occasional flash memory corruption. We recommend you sync your log files before receiving this update if possible. In addition there is a new advanced feature for Exporting and Importing your FreeSK8 data.
The Export routine is quite safe. Depending on how much data you have there may be a delayed response from the button (I’d like feedback) while it creates a zip file of your board avatars, settings, database and logs. You’ll be prompted to share this file and you can save it to Google Drive or iCloud as a backup of your FreeSK8 data.
The Import routine on the other hand is marked with Caution as it will ask you for the location of a FreeSK8 Data Backup and then replace your database, avatars, and logs with those from the backup. There is no merging of old data here. Meaning whatever you had before the Import will be removed and replaced with the contents of the backup.
The Export and Import options are hanging out in the Advanced section of the Configuration tab and are very likely to change over time, especially when we bring data services online. For now they should be considered experimental and use at your own risk. There are limitations when it comes to importing cross platform and between iOS devices. Mainly due to BLE device identifiers being MAC on Android and UUID on iOS.
The flash memory corruption was due to the QSPI component booting in 24-bit addressing mode. When the file system attempted manipulate anything past the 24-bit boundary corruption would occur and we’d have to format the storage (NGGYU - aka Gotchi Fault). Changes were made to enable 32-bit addressing in both the flash memory and the SDK which allowed us to fill the entire storage device repeatedly without corruption.
Some release notes goodness:

Wooo!
This is a big one for us as it closes any major remaining known-issues and clears our way to a public release.
Great work as always Renee!
Very cool that it’s stable at this speed. RIP your log transfer times.

A new release should be available by the end of tomorrow. There are small changes and bug fixes along with a new Robogotchi firmware. Nothing too special but a bit of effort was put into resolving bugs in the sync process, particularly when stopping a sync and starting over. Your board avatar will now show up on the map when you tap on the chart. There is also a new max battery amps icon on the map that will reveal the updated event dialog.
One thing to note is I’ve been trying to replicate a reported bug where an iOS device has disconnected while sitting in the background for an extended period of time but the app appears connected. If anyone experiences this and can shed some light as to how to replicate the issue I would appreciate the help. In the past week of trying I was only able to trigger the issue once which made testing a fix impossible. I left a debug message in the log AppLifecycleState: Navigating to Connection tab (unexpectedDisconnect) if my fix is triggered but you’d have to manually look for it any time you’ve come back to a disconnected device.
Many thanks to everyone in the beta chat for the help and suggestions!

Another update is here! This one was focused on GPS speed and distance calculations for those who might be using a vehicle with multiple gear ratios, something with no wheels at all or just spend more time spinning tires than going forward 
Basically, there is a preference to prefer GPS speed and distance values when viewing a log file. You can switch this on or off at any time.
When enabled the app will graph your GPS speed instead of what is reported by the ESC and the travel distance will be computed from the GPS coordinates. You’ll see an indication of the GPS preference when the dot is filled in on the Distance Traveled icon.
There is also the addition of quick statistics. A long press on any log entry will display the board name and few extra details about your trip.
A few small issues were addressed but are quite boring. There is a new Robogotchi firmware with fixes for the logged GPS speed which unfortunately means existing logs will have speed reported in knots instead of kph 
It’s ok.
FreeSK8 Mobile
v0.17.0
* Allow GPS speed and distance to be displayed in log
* Long press log entry to view quick statistics

Would this app be useful for a guy like me who just has a vanilla Focbox and no robogotchi or the like?
It would be great if I could use this to see my voltage. Connecting with VESC Tool is so painful for that, and my XV1 remote just has four lights.
My BMS is a “xiaoxiang” and the app is too buggy to use for this as well. I don’t expect FreeSK8 could connect to a xiaoxiang but it should be able to get the voltage from the VESC right?

If you’re running vesc firmware, and have a bluetooth module, you should be able to connect with the freesk8 app

A bit late to the party, but I’m just started using the app for iPhone via TestFlight.
Really like it. Especially settings are very comfortable to change. Metr and vesc tool app was always a bit confusing and needed time to get used to. Here it was self explaining.
I‘m using it with a nrf module. It’s a beta unit from the metr guys, so basically the trampa dongle with an integrated antenna on the pcb.
I had two disconnects while looking through the app thou sitting 2m away from the module.
Sitting directly close to the module was fine so far. Gonna need to check that later on what caused it.

Does it work with Focbox Unity? I filled out the form, would love to test it out.
