# IOS Users

You can also do some "hacks" by hand using the [nRF Connect](https://apps.apple.com/nl/app/nrf-connect-bluetooth-app/id1054362403 "nRF Connect") app or the [BLE Scanner](https://apps.apple.com/nl/app/ble-scanner-4-0/id1221763603 "BLE Scanner") app from the Apple Store.

## Why isn't there an IOS app?
Many people ask me why there is no IOS app?
- First of all I'm not an IOS developer. To become an IOS developer Apple charges €200,- per year.
- Furthermore you need Apple devices to develop on and test with.
- Also "side loading", putting an app on your phone outside the *Apple Store* is almost impossible for non developers. So you need a developer account yourself at the cost of €200,- per year.
- Another developer contacted me willing to make an IOS version. However after some research it seems to be difficult to get the app approved for the *Apple Store* due to the *hack* nature of it. Also the developer of the *Moofer app* (for van Moof bikes) pointed out that he had a lot of problems getting his app in the *Apple Store*. It's finally allowed because it basicly only changes the country in which the bike is used.
- All in all for me it's just not worth it to go through all this trouble and since I don't own any recent Apple devices I don't feel any personal need for it.
- You can do the manual *hack* with the provided information below, which I gathered during my research.

I'm sorry cowboys and girls, but Android is just more open minded and *hacker* friendly ;)

You can use an Android phone to make the "hacks" or do some of them by hand using the [nRF Connect](https://apps.apple.com/nl/app/nrf-connect-bluetooth-app/id1054362403 "nRF Connect") app or the [BLE Scanner](https://apps.apple.com/nl/app/ble-scanner-4-0/id1221763603 "BLE Scanner") app from the Apple Store.

## Usage

Disable speedlimit Cowboy C1+, C2 and C3.
It's completely at your own risk, your bike will be "illegal" in most (European) countries. However the police cannot see it in the app.
