Arduino Manager

I’m not a programmer, I’m an EE and I managed to get the app to work with an ESP32 system with minimal effort. Sure there is some actual coding involved and it is not as frictionless as some other Arduino products but it does work and once you get it hooked up properly in your code it will save you a ton of time and effort. The developer was super responsive to my questions and got back to me very quickly when I had an issue. If you need to get an ESP32 hooked up to iPad or iPhone fast, spend the money and buy the app.

Ipad app don't usually come with an instructional manual. Because with ios you don't need one. All this app does it show cme a bunch of blank squares. I can't do anything.

Bad app and the instructions are not cleared at all. Save your money!

It's a ripoff . $7.99 joke . I learned from this lesson. Blynk user

This would be great for someone with a great deal of Arduino experience. As others state, you need the code and pin in-app putchasrs to do anything useful. The first video tutorial covers buying them, and that says it all.

Update June 2016. Been using Arduino Manager for a couple of years now. It's quite a stable and useful development kit. iPad programming is simple drag and drop. Arduino programming is necessary. Documentation gets you started. Code Generator is helpful. Some the capabilities are tremendously powerful, like reading files from an SD drive and data logging. Updates continue to improve capability and performance. Very satisfied with this platform. Written some time ago... I now have a couple of useful, stable, control applications running on Arduino Manager using both Uno and Mega with Ethernet shields. Code transports perfectly between Uno and Mega. Even a fairly complex control program fits on an Uno. Some larger wifi sketches may call for the bigger Mega. Arduino Manager's documentation gets you going quickly assuming you have decent Arduino familiarity. Working with an Ethernet shield is very easy. Arduino Manager's iPad widgets offer one-way or two-way communications with Arduino and are pretty clearly explained. There's NO programming needed on the iPad. I haven't tried the code generator, but the example sketch gets you up and running quickly. Fabrizio Boco actually answers email and continues to support the program. This is a well made tool. I continue to develop on it.

Hello fellow Arduino enthusiasts, I read many good reviews about the Arduino Manager and I believe it is one of the most interesting and vversatile Arduino APPs out there. Unfortunately I can’t tell how great it is because it doesn’t work for me. I’m blind so I need to use Voiceover to do anything on the iPhone. I purchased the App almost two years ago and have not had the enjoyable experience some of you may have had. The App has very limited accessability with Voiceover, key features like Add, Delete or Move wigits can only be accessed by a sighted person. When I contacted Fabrizio first time, he was very responsive and promised to fix the Voiceover compatibility issue. That was almost two years ago and nothing got fixed. Since then I contacted Fabrizio several times, but he doesn’t even have the courtesy to respond ,as if the problem doesn’t exist or perhaps hoping that it will go away. In my opinion the changes I’m asking for are easy to implement, but perhaps Fabrizio has no desire nor he feels that he has any moral obligation to do so. It may sound that I’m judging based on a very subjective or narrow perspective and some of you may not agree with me. But I’m speaking for all the disabled people out there who for no fault of their own have to put up with all sorts of restrictions every day. We are not asking for much, we just want to be treated with the same respect as evrYbody else So based on my personal experience, I have no choice but to rate this App in very unfavorable terms. JP

Every thing I tried required payment. Useless app for me.

Awful product, doesn't work without in app purchase. Documentation crashes. I want my money back!

Unsupported and poorly written. How to use it and why to use it are just unanswered mysteries.
