Android App Feedback
Posted: Sat 27. Feb 2016 20:42:27
Hi
I'd like to post my thoughts of the Android app, hopefully you can use these ideas constructively to improve the app.
1. Saving the settings is very difficult. I'm using a nexus 7 and to get the menu to show up that allows me to save I have to touch the top right about 6 times before this menu shows up. That's silly, there must be a way to make this easier to reach. It's like the hit-test area for the button is far too small, or my thumbs too big.
2. Bank switching is a great feature but the Android app doesn't appear to let me change banks, so I can't adjust bank 1 or 2 at the field.
3. Banks again: in the pop up menu where we save settings there is a banks button, it has two sub features, from memory profile diff and comparison - but they don't appear to do anything. Recently the v2.0.0 desktop s/ware introduced a nice UI that shows differences across all banks - would be nice if the android app did this. Do these do anything at all?
4. Flaky Bluetooth connectivity. I often need to hit the connect button multiple times to get connected to the spirit. When a connection does take place it isn't because I moved closer.
5. Ok, not Android per se - but iOS app anytime soon?
Again, I'm trying to highlight things that are not so great with the hope of getting others to either corroborate the experience or indicate where I may be wrong. I really like the spirit unit and the idea of programming it via a tablet, it's just that the implementation could be better in a number of places.
If anything is unclear I would be happy to go into more detail - and please do let the community know if you share the same thoughts or experience (I don't want to be the ONLY grumpy dude
).
Thank you - I appreciate the time you've spent reading to this point and hope my feedback can help make the app better.
