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.

Ok, I just saw the android app video - and yeah, I remember now how banks can be selected by sliding to the right. Ok, but PLEASE : apps should indicate that the is possible using an icon on the top left, that's because otherwise how do I know the app supports it?

Assume I don't happen to see the video showing this feature and like a large %age of people I just download it and start using it - there is zero UI stuff that indicates this is possible.. Hope you get my drift here. Fixing this is as trivial as adding an icon showing that a drawer is available.

Thank you very much for your feedback.

Regarding Menu button - some devices are equipped with HW Menu button, this is much more comfortable. But making the software button bigger can solve the problem.
Bank comparison should work well, but yes, it is different little bit.

I am sure that it will be improved to your satisfaction.

I will move this thread to the wishlist section.

Maybe wait up on moving it until we see if others have other wishes - would be great to combine feedback. (I come from a heavy s/ware background and know that it's always helpful to get multiple perspectives, the product is almost always better of for it in the end).
