RK_tek Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Well that sucks. I wanted to pkay with the interface and see how easy it is to use Link to comment
Horerczy Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 For me the app has so far crashed thrice after reporting a successful login. My bluefish mini is currently off so I will check later to see if it's simply an issue with the device being off. Link to comment

Working on it now. Edit: Fixed the issue. Propagating across Google Play now. Link to comment
Horerczy Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 OK then. Logged in. Did the blinkup. I like it. It's not as snappy as the previous app. I think it might just be meatier programming at work though and the load times are still quick enough. The important stuff is much more streamlined as far as navigation is concerned as far as I could tell. I'll have to play with it more later. And the patch did indeed fix the crashing. Link to comment

Even though there ain't much to do, I think this could convince a lot of undecided people to actually go for a bluefish... Link to comment

Just think - the non-public version was WAY slower lol. Spencer did as much as he could to get this new app written and it's decently fast now, but it is actually getting the live data right from the controller now, which is the cause for the slower response time.

Don't be surprised if your settings don't stick or change as you are playing. Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Spencer to the rescue! Dude seriously is quick with applying changes. I had a problem switching between my two Bluefish controllers with the app, and he was able to put in the changes within a few minutes to fix it. Link to comment

mpad Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 username: testacct password: test cool thanks. will test later! hope it can't overload!? Edit: Thank you spencer! This helped get a look and feel for it. I like it! Still on the old app though, as I am out of Android atm Link to comment

So basically it's a meatier program just like I said. Link to comment
