Comments on BS Companion for Android

★★★★★ Ambu lula · May 22, 2024

Got this since my old app no longer worked (lighthouse pm) I haven't been able to turn them off for months, so I looked it up on Google and boom this app showed up saw there was a price and was like oh well I need it badly. And it downloaded instantly, and it found my base stations within seconds and BOOM Bing bong bash they are finally off no more bzzzzzzz sound while I'm sleeping xD

★★★★☆ John Ward · Nov 15, 2023

Does exactly what it says. I have a Pimax Crystal with the Lighthouse Faceplate, which can't shut them off. The app works, though, I have to restart it between actions, toggling the stations on then off.

★★★★★ WOMP To The Womp · Jan 11, 2025

Absolutely amazing app. Using quest vr and steam I could never access my Bluetooth settings. Thanks to this app I don't need them! Also allows you to see everything about your base station. Though I have had 2 crashes trying to do things to quickly with the app. It's worth the $2 for everyone wanting to manage there base stations.

★★★★★ Jet Dingo · Mar 18, 2026

Does what I need it to. Turns my base stations on and off because my mixed VR setup doesn't auto-sleep the lighthouses on exit. Easy to use and unlike the previous app I used, is pretty much bulletproof. One touch on and off. Highly recommend you use this to turn off your base stations when not in used to extend their lifetime.

★☆☆☆☆ Lauro Moreno · Dec 2, 2023

Immediately crashes upon opening (Pixel 4a 5G, Android 14)

All I can do with this is to rename the base stations and change some ID things. Nothing else works, cannot power them down as the buttons don't do a thing. Pointless app, how do I get a refund?
