Update: It kinda fix itself so back to 5 star -- Dewalayer, 2024-11-15 ### ***** "Works amazingly for what its supposed to do" Its amazing i use it all the time -- EvilMiles, 2024-08-29 ### ***** "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 -- ThyCake, 2024-07-25 ### ***** "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. -- KevinTheInfection, 2024-07-20 ### ***** "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! -- tconroy44, 2024-06-09 ### ***** "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… -- Tech App Reviewer, 2024-02-01 ### ***** "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! -- the===dude, 2023-09-26 ### ***** "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! -- AinNOVA, 2023-06-11 ### ***** "Must-have for annoying base stations" It simply does the thing. No setup required -- ShanePizza, 2023-03-09 ### ***** "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. -- npburns224, 2023-02-04 ### ***** "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! -- ManedCalico, 2023-01-22 ### ***** "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. -- derekmlr, 2023-01-22 ### ***** "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 things can be! -- Arayta, 2022-12-24 ### *---- "No worky" It sees my base stations but cannot actually turn them off or do anything else. -- Jasonn85, 2022-11-14 ### ***** "Works perfectly once set up" Exactly what I needed. Valve should’ve made this for free, but since they didn’t, this program is perfect! -- TheCrake, 2022-10-26 ### ***** "Great app, truly worth the $2" If you own a Valve Index or HTC Vive Pro, this nifty app is a MUST have. I have found the Bluetooth for the lighthouses can be finicky with waking up or sleeping from a command from SteamVR. This app makes things much easier because a single tap turns on or off all lighthouses in range. -- Techwiz34, 2022-10-15 ### ***** "Used to use an android app similar to this" I love how down to earth and functional this is. I’ve only had it for a few minutes, but it’s already proven to be just as useful as the Android competitor that I missed having. Thank you for making this available. -- jdlarrimo, 2022-09-21 ### ***** "Works great!" Fast and convenient. I would love to see shortcuts support. Imagine “Siri, turn off the base stations.” -- Kurozero, 2022-07-15 ### ***** "Great App, Very Reliable" The only thing I’d like to see added is shortcuts Integration, so I can just ask Siri to shut off my stations. -- Dougwastaken, 2022-05-02 ### ***** "I'm in awe" Works flawlessly with HTC Vive (1.0) base stations. Never had such a good experience compared to the apps on Android. Amazing and such a time saver. -- remiyu, 2022-04-02 [View all BS Companion reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## BS Companion Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Paid | United Kingdom | Utilities | #143 | | Top Paid | Germany | Utilities | #213 | | Top Paid | Finland | Utilities | #331 | | Top Paid | China | Utilities | #382 | | Top Paid | Sweden | Utilities | #423 | | Top Paid | South Korea | Utilities | #428 | | Top Paid | Kazakhstan | Utilities | #450 | | Top Paid | Czechia | Utilities | #452 | | Top Paid | Israel | Utilities | #454 | | Top Paid | Japan | Utilities | #454 | | Top Paid | Netherlands | Utilities | #472 | ## BS Companion Discovered Keywords - bs companion ## Apps Similar to BS Companion - [OctoPod for OctoPrint](https://apptail.io/app/octopod-for-octoprint-aqp/united-states) - [VibeMate](https://apptail.io/app/vibemate-eaD/united-states) - [Ally – Collect and Backup](https://apptail.io/app/ally-collect-and-backup-aleb/united-states) - [Intiface Central](https://apptail.io/app/intiface-central-vvLd/united-states) - [Keka](https://apptail.io/app/keka-CCTd/united-states) - [JF Connect](https://apptail.io/app/jf-connect-qTme/united-states) - [PinoFBT](https://apptail.io/app/pinofbt-ONve/united-states) - [Pimax - 官方应用](https://apptail.io/app/pimax-KWli/united-states) - [Viso FBT](https://apptail.io/app/viso-fbt-bQjm/united-states) - [PrismXR](https://apptail.io/app/prismxr-xfAn/united-states) ## BS Companion Available In - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/bs-companion-Vhae/united-states) - [Germany](https://apptail.io/app/bs-companion-Vhae/germany) - [Canada](https://apptail.io/app/bs-companion-Vhae/canada) - [Japan](https://apptail.io/app/bs-companion-Vhae/japan) - [France](https://apptail.io/app/bs-companion-Vhae/france) - [Taiwan](https://apptail.io/app/bs-companion-Vhae/taiwan) - [Netherlands](https://apptail.io/app/bs-companion-Vhae/netherlands) - [Denmark](https://apptail.io/app/bs-companion-Vhae/denmark) - [Australia](https://apptail.io/app/bs-companion-Vhae/australia) - [Switzerland](https://apptail.io/app/bs-companion-Vhae/switzerland) - [Lebanon](https://apptail.io/app/bs-companion-Vhae/lebanon) - [Latvia](https://apptail.io/app/bs-companion-Vhae/latvia) - [Mexico](https://apptail.io/app/bs-companion-Vhae/mexico) - [Nigeria](https://apptail.io/app/bs-companion-Vhae/nigeria) - [Pakistan](https://apptail.io/app/bs-companion-Vhae/pakistan) - [Poland](https://apptail.io/app/bs-companion-Vhae/poland) - [Tunisia](https://apptail.io/app/bs-companion-Vhae/tunisia) - [Ukraine](https://apptail.io/app/bs-companion-Vhae/ukraine) - [Brazil](https://apptail.io/app/bs-companion-Vhae/brazil) - [Belarus](https://apptail.io/app/bs-companion-Vhae/belarus) - [Algeria](https://apptail.io/app/bs-companion-Vhae/algeria) - [Greece](https://apptail.io/app/bs-companion-Vhae/greece) - [Indonesia](https://apptail.io/app/bs-companion-Vhae/indonesia) - [India](https://apptail.io/app/bs-companion-Vhae/india) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
