Popular Post meepmeepmayer Posted February 13, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 13, 2020 (edited) Update 15th April 2020: new official King Song apps will very soon hit the app stores. More here: - Old post: King Song's current app is so bad, it was kicked out of both the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store. This means you cannot get it on Apple devices at all, and would need to manually download it from the King Song website and sideload it on your Android device. They are working on a better app, but it isn't available yet (tentatively: should be soon). Luckily, both EUC World (Android) and DarknessBot (Apple) are excellent third party apps that support all functions of King Song wheels and allow you to do anything the official app does, firmware updates and all. The app authors have official support from King Song for this. These apps support other wheel brands, too. So currently you will have to use one of these third party apps for your King Song wheel. They are better anyways, so it's no loss EUC World (Android) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.lastowski.eucworld DarknessBot (Apple) https://apps.apple.com/app/darknessbot/id1108403878 - (Thank you very much to @Seba for the information, see here.)

mrelwood Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Worth mentioning though that on both DarknessBot and EUC World the speed settings, calibration and firmware updates are not and will not be available for KingSong wheels bought from Aliexpress, or otherwise outside the official western dealer network. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unventor Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Well it might be certified a little. Bad is a board term. There are certain things you are allowed to do and other thing that big red nono. Then there is the quality/stability and security concerns too. Exactly what was the reason I don't know but Apples policy för approval is much tighter now than so years ago. And they stand very firm on their way or the highway. On the android side KS app had issues on Samsung phones, which one of the bigger android brands. I suspect the amount of crash reports was the reasons to pull it. That is also why I dislike to install from other places than the official app store. This mean there is less security rist from an app store as I view it.

Electric Dreams Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) To be clear, those links provided in my post are the Official apps, however I understand if some users may want to wait till they official hit the store. The iOS app is on the store however under an alias name, and the consumer friendly version is pending approval.

Or have KS given up on getting an app that can pass quality certification from Google? I think it is anything but great that you have products that heavy relay on app and not having an official app distributed in a quality and security checked app store. I would view a non-answer as confirmation that KS gave up @Jack King Song due to this has taken so long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulo Mesquita Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Hello all. Does anyone know why the new KingSong app upgrade is not working and crashing all the time? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a perfectly good hardware guy gone soft, I can say with surety: hardware will break, software comes broken. It is an immutable life truth.
