Update June 2016. Been using Arduino Manager for a couple of years now. Its quite a stable and useful development kit. iPad programming is simple drag and drop. Arduino programming is necessary. Documentation gets you started. Code Generator is helpful. Some the capabilities are tremendously powerful, like reading files from an SD drive and data logging. Updates continue to improve capability and performance. Very satisfied with this platform. Written some time ago... I now have a couple of useful, stable, control applications running on Arduino Manager using both Uno and Mega with Ethernet shields. Code transports perfectly between Uno and Mega. Even a fairly complex control program fits on an Uno. Some larger wifi sketches may call for the bigger Mega. Arduino Managers documentation gets you going quickly assuming you have decent Arduino familiarity. Working with an Ethernet shield is very easy. Arduino Managers iPad widgets offer one-way or two-way communications with Arduino and are pretty clearly explained. Theres NO programming needed on the iPad. I havent tried the code generator, but the example sketch gets you up and running quickly. Fabrizio Boco actually answers email and continues to support the program. This is a well made tool. I continue to develop on it.

Description
Supported Boards: UNO R4 WiFi, UNO R3, Nano, MEGA2560, ESP32, ESP8622, Zero, MKR1000, Nano 33 IoT, Teensy e nRF52 BLE, Raspberry Pico Pi W. ESP32, Raspberry Pico and Pico W with Micropython.
Arduino Manager is an app to control the Arduino board and receive information from it through:
- Ethernet Shield (arduino.cc)
- HM-10 / HM19
- Adafruit
* WINC1500 WiFi
* CC3000 WiFi
* nRF52 BLE
* nRF8001 Bluefruit LE
* LE SPI Friend
The app shows a grid and tapping on it you can insert specialized widgets to send and receive information from Arduino. For a better visualization or control, each widget can be zoomed by the means of a double tap on it;
tap on Configure for configuring the widget itself.
Some widgets are:
- Display Widget: shows values coming from your Arduino (i.e. Temperature). It can show numbers with 0,1,2,3 decimal digits or rolling text
- LED Widget: shows a LED that can be turned on and off through digital values from Arduino
- Switch Widget: sets a digital value to Arduino
- Switch & LED Widget: a combination of the two previous widgets to save space when they are used together with the same variable
- Push Button Widget: temporarily sets a digital value to Arduino
- Knob Widget: sets a non-digital value to Arduino
- SD Widget: shows the list of files in the root of SD Card and selecting a file it shows the content
- Graph Widget: graphs values in (almost) real time coming from your Arduino (e.g. instantaneous temperature)
- Logged Data Graph Widget: graphs up to 5 values logged onto the SD Card attached to Arduino. Libraries have helping functions to log data onto the SD Card
- Alarm Widget: configures an alarm on the Arduino board which is then fired at the desired time. The alarm is fired even if the iOS device is not connected and retained across power off - power on cycles
- Command Widget: allows to send a command (text message) to Arduino once the yellow button is tapped. You can add more Command Widgets to send different commands
- Rover Controller Widget: allows driving a rover robot just rotating the device
- Sound Alarm Widget: sounds an alarm each time the associated condition is verified
- Threshold Widget: allows setting a threshold to the Arduino board (e.g. the room temperature under which the board has to start an heater)
- Console Widget: helps the user to debug the Arduino code, receiving and displaying debugging messages
Other widgets are available, please see support site.
Each widget is associated with a name and a variable (i.e. name: Temperature, variable: T). The variable is either written or read by the sketch running on the board allowing the iOS app receiving information from Arduino or controlling it.
The app can be easily connected to more boards, each page of widgets can connects to a different board at the same time.
User can easily manage different lists of widgets and switch among them in order to control different projects.
Any widget list can be shared between own devices via iCloud and/or other users via an email message.
Many Arduino libraries are available to easily integrate your own projects with Arduino Manager. Libraries, related documentation, demo sketches and a video tutorial are available
for free from my site.
Available In-App purchases:
- Code Generator: allows to generate the communication infrastructure between the Arduino board and iOS device and the code for each chosen widget in order to simplify the programming effort
on Arduino board.
- PIN Code Generator: allows the user to associate a pin to each Widget and generate the code to manage that pin. In most cases this avoid writing any code
- Voice Commands: You can now control most of the AM features by mean of voice commands (in English only). It also unlocks Voice Commands Widget
Continuous use of background location can decrease battery life.

Very Powerful and Easy to Program
Perfect
This application is really perfect for home automation the developper did a very great job
Arduino manager
Le logiciel fait son boulot la fonction générateur de code (payant) dois être associé au générateur de pin(payant également) la fonction rover controller(volant) ou jostick doivent être recopié à partir dun exemple (dispo sur le site du développeur). Jai du faire petite modif pour le retour dinfo de larduino mais maintenant ça fonctionne bien.
Uma porcaria!
Propaganda enganosa. Excesso de trabalho para alguns poucos resultados. Tudo tem que ser "plus", e claro, pago... Não aconselho pois o resultado prático é muito aquém do custo. O melhor que comprei é o IOcontrol. Pelo menos funciona e vc tem mais liberdade para criar e interagir com sketches do essa bomba...
Desorganizado
Aplicativo pouco intuitivo, com bugs, o autor é desorganizado não disponibiliza os arquivos de forma clara. Caríssimo! Um erro.
Não gostei
Não sei se o app funciona porque se for usar o resto das funções tem que pagar mais 6 dólares, por isso não gostei, ao todo você vai gastar 21 dólares ou quase isso, um absurdo.
Does as it should
Works like its described :)
