Yes, it say I can buy it for 99p (which I'm obviously not worried about) but it doesn't show any updates.
Cheers.

Seems like the dev app isn't attached to the official version uploaded to the App Store then. At this point you should probably message vadii direct to figure out the licensing situation

Thanks, I feel a little scared at the prospect
Edit, I think I'll wait & see if I get a reply on here, I don't want to bother him unless I need to

Hi mate, does changing the front chain wheel size in the app change/affect anything in the software and how the bike operates?
I haven't updated your app yet to reset my chainring size for the 36T front chain ring I fitted yesterday and it could be just me but the bike seems to launch more aggressively than it did with the 34T chainring.

Ask Apple why it takes so long. 3 days they can't approve new version... Unbelievable...

Latest Instruction manual (v1.5.x) attached; note that the manual has been combined to cover iOS/iPadOS and Android versions of the app. If anyone sees a typo, let me know

Due Shimano Inc demand the App was renamed to "ST Unlocker"
They took away my site www.stepsunlocker.com as well. So, the new site is at www.stunlocker.com

Did they just get upset that you used "Steps" in the name or are you going to have a continuing battle with them?
Mine's working great.

Yes. They are (US lawyers) f@cking crazy animals. They said I can't use Steps (yes, steps) or Shimano anywhere, even in the manual. I can't say Shimano word without their permission
They are even want to take off my email address at gmail.com
I heard it was actually Stannah Stairlifts that raised the complaints, not Shimano. They were concerned the software enabled people to take the speed limiter of the stairlifts - apparently most of their customers also ride emtbs, which is where the confusion came in
@vadII - Two serious questions for the android one and the iOS one.
1: for existing clients. They won't now receive updates. They'll have to install the new version ??
2: for existing clients who have the upgraded version with a licence. If they need to install the new one, do they need to e-mail you for a new code, or if they find their original licence e-mail and click on the link again once they've installed the new version, will this work ?

Considering the vadll already said it was Shimano Inc...
You should know by now ... I was being stupid .. Stannah stairlifts make obscenely slow little chairs which run up the side of domestic stairs ... hence steps .. the average e-biker age has been shown to be over 97 .. therefore the link to e-bikers and stannah stairlift users ..
OK ... so sometimes it's just not funny !!!

As far as I'm concerned you're providing an app that adds functionality and customisation to a device that should already be provided by Shimano themselves, well done!
