1. 4/5I’m amazed

   First time writing an app review - I just had to for this. I’ve been trying to balance my ceiling fan on my own for hours and just couldn’t figure it out... trial and error over and over again. Asked myself “I wonder if there is an app that can help”. Found this app and figured for .99 I’ll give it a shot. I followed the instructions and it identified blades 1 and 5 to put weight on. It also specified the distance from center to put those weights. It immediately improved the shake but not by a degree that I wanted. My ceiling fan might not by like typical ceiling fans, there is a lot of weight to it. So I added additional weights and moved it a little further back than the suggested distance and it eliminated all wobble. Only giving 4 out of 5 stars cause it’s not “perfect” but it tremendously helped me identify how to better balance my fan. Highly recommend anyone to give it a shot.

2. 5/5Good lighting was key to it registering

   4.5 Stars really. This app has saved me many hours of fiddling with getting fans balanced. I read the reviews and instructions and the right lighting was key to it registering the movement. I replaced 6 ceiling fans in our house. Prior to finding the app, the first fan took over an hour to balance, then I tried using my phone to take a slow motion video to track the shifting, which was a good idea that didn’t work. I guessed correctly that if I could think of it , someone smarter definitely did before me. When I replaced a fan a year or so later, I had issues downloading because of software updates, but the developer quickly responded to my email, that it was a temporary issue with the AppStore, and in a day I was able to get the new version and it worked as well as it did previously. Please support this app. I even offered to repurchase and pay more, but he assured me it wasn’t needed.

3. 5/5Great Tool !

   I was having trouble balancing a 60" fan. Tried moving weights around and just couldn't find a good starting point to add weights. This tool will help you find what blades weight needs to be added and you can run the test procedure a second time after adding weights to really get it good. Also just using the wobble check to move the weights back and forth on a blade to find the sweet spot will help you find the perfect spot. Took a little time to get the feel of what it can do and it really lets you measure your progress . My fan really had a heavy spot so it finally took weights on three of the five blades in different places to get it good. One other thing I found it better to switch the camera mode on my phone so I could look down at the screen instead of standing with my phone over my head and looking up at the fan.

4. 5/5Wow, this app works great!

   Ceiling fan balancing is usually such a hassle, but with this app it takes much less time and no guesswork. I balanced most of my fans in one try. It really helps to use the front facing camera and have your phone or iPad on a fixed surface looking up at the fan so There is no phone motion and the wobble measurements are more accurate. Having enough light illuminating the center alignment dot also helps measurements. I had one fan that was difficult to balance since a couple blades had a lot of weight differences from the others. The app kept telling me to put 6 grams of weight near the end of two blades but the fan still wobbled. I put a 13 gram washer on double sided tape on those two blades and re-ran the balancing procedure. The app nailed it with weight adjustments to a couple other blades and that fan is now perfectly stable.

5. 5/5I was a skeptic, but now a believer.

   I spent about an hour trying to balance my fan, using a balancing kit following the instructions in the kit. I had it pretty close, but being the perfectionist that I am, I wanted to get it perfect. A little Internet searching pointed me to this app, which I tried. I had doubts that it would allow me to get the balance any better but I went ahead with the instructions in the app, exactly as outlined. I removed the weight that I had originally installed and much to my surprise. The app had me put the weights almost where I originally had them with a few minor additions of weight and slight change to the location. The fan is balanced perfectly now. I’m impressed to say the least.
