About this app

In version 3 more than 80% of this app is rewritten in native code to present a modern, smooth user interface familiar to anybody who use Android phones, including:

- Drawer style navigation to switch tag managers, go to account options, login/logout/new account, or add new tags.
- Swipe left/right to change between trend, event, and the familiar full featured web interface screens
- After in event screen the motion events are loaded, they will be overlaid on trend screen similar to iOS version of this app, to allow identifying reason behind temperature/humidity changes (such as door open/close).
- Quick navigation from trend screen by tapping on a tag to open its option buttons in web interface, or by tapping on the trend graph to open full graph for viewing, CSV data download or sharing.
- Unified search bar with search scope tabs similar to iOS version of this app, to quickly focus on tags of certain name/comment or in certain state (e.g. hot hoot), as well as events of certain category (e.g. motion, temperature, RH, etc) from tags with certain name. This works for web, trend and event section similarly.
- New 64-bit OpenGLES graphics code for charting, including new features such as log scale for lux chart, and faster loading using less network data through compression, and fluid scrolling similar to iOS version of this app.

- When app is launched and previously web interface is not selected, launch will be much quicker than the old app as only native portion of the app will be loaded. For viewing event and temperature data, there will be no need to load the non-native HTML part of the app.

Similar to the old version, by installing the app on your Android device, you will be able to receive push notification message on your Android phones and tablets.

Ratings and reviews

App not ready for prime time. If app is open/running, it will voice that the door is open/closed, but if the app isn't running, then no voice. Navigation is tough - I can never find where to re-configure the tag as a motion or door sensor (ah, just found it). The button to log out of the app is on the "trends" page, but nowhere else - strange that it is on the trends page but not the main page. Generally the app is rough around the edges and needs some work. I hear (but cannot confirm) that the app on the iPhone is organized differently and makes more sense. The tags and tag manager work fairly well. The distance between the tag manager and the tags isn't close to what is claimed (at least in my experience). The distance between my tag manager and the one tag is about 70 feet line of sight and the signal strength runs 2 to 3 bars.

Update 4/5/19: Revised up to 2 stars. The sensors themseves are fantastic and the app has shown improvement. The app now has a temp/humidity only page however the widget still randomly stops working. Origional review: The sensors and gateway work well however the app could use a makeover. Key info is not immediately visible. Each sensor has to be expanded to view details. That becomes real time consuming with multiple sensors (look at the sensorpush app on how to be easier to read and intuitive)

I just installed the new version and already having problems with the interface on Android (9). It seems to want to show only the trends screen and I have trouble getting back to the main screen. The developer got back to me with a new update to enable swiping right and left to see the different screens. Thank you!
