can't locate VESCtool app

Is the app no longer on google play? I just got a new phone and can’t find it on the play store and when I click the link on the VESC website it opens the play store and says “try again”.

I think you can download and side load the app from vedders website.

There was a mention that the most recent version wasn’t compliant with some Google requirement for external storage

[GeneParmesan]

Any chance you got a link? The vedder site you mention is diff from the VESCtool site?

It’s free, but you have to add it to a shopping cart to download it. It’s really stupid.

Thank you! Got it. I did donate for I think the silver version so it might’ve been on my account but this worked. Good look.

Well, I guess not. Duck this piece of shit phone, it’s going back…

Google took it out of the store because it uses the GPS and needs access to positioning when you use the logging functionality.
Vedder needs to send them an explanation and a video and then it will go back online.
Until then you can use the apk from the VESC-Project website. That version will not update! So once the App is back in the Play Store, you should reinstall it from the Play Store.
We hope that next week it is back online.

You need to open the .zip, inside there is the apk.

I would recommend Zarchiver

Wow. That never even occurred to me about needing to download a program to unzip it. My last phone would just do it… I are feel dumb.
