App has been very helpful, UX could be a little better

Love all the near-real-time data this app provides! Don’t even bother with the official Helium app for tracking your miner, I knew my friend’s miner was offline before he did because he doesn’t use HeliumGeek! That said, I wish I could customize the displayed units beyond the main screen - for example the transaction history. Better yet, let me display HNT and fiat at the same time. Secondly the subscription, I’m happy to support this app but I wish it was more clear that the rewards tracking and reachability tracker were separate. There isn’t even the option to subscribe to reachability tracking until the miner is synced. Maybe a settings menu that shows all the subscription options and currency settings etc would be beneficial to the overal UX? One final thing that is more of a wish than a critique - I wish there were an option to view 24hr earnings based on location instead of the rolling 24 hour period that every single Helium tracker out there uses

Thank you for your feedback, we appreciate it.Can you please write us within the application about the last location based 24hr earning? We just need to understand the need better

Seriously, no need to look any further. This is all you need to monitor your hotspot. Shows real-time reachability data, real time activity, etc. Also love that is shows both Witnessed and Witnesses. There is a huge difference between what those two mean, and many people are unaware of that. I have just once minor suggestion that I’ll add below…I recently purchased the add-on that alerts me when I received a reward. My only “criticism”: keep that alert in terms of HNT, not USD. With the price of HNT always fluctuating, this really isn’t a good metric to use. I know the alert shows both, but I would just get rid of the USD value completely. Overall though, this app is fantastic. I have seriously told so many people about this app and no one knows it exists. I don’t even check the official helium app/explore page anymore. HeliumGeek is the only thing I use.

As a person that owns 7 hotspots Helium geek gives me the simple opportunity to keep track of all 7 hotspots in the touch of a button, I can within seconds of opening the app tell which hotspots are online and which are offline so easily as I know each hotspots daily behavior patterns. What’s also incredible about Helium Geek is that I can follow other neighboring hotspots to see how my hotspots are performing next to ones in the same area! On a final note, Helium Geek is the only Helium app that allows you to see every single miners lifetime earnings as well as the number of days since that miner was first activated! I use Helium Geek and more than any other Helium App. By far! This is a very impressive app in my humble opinion.

Christmas in April? It feels like it! Nothing beats having an application that just keeps dropping delicious treats on your doorstep. Every time I open this app I start noticing little gems appearing within. The developer never sleeps. Always behind the keyboard coding up those requests. Smashing those bugs and increasing the value of this application. If you haven’t given Helium Geek a try, do so! Staying on top of your game is gonna make it so much easier to realize the true value this application offers. No upsells, no empty promises, no misleading marketing, just pure value and icing on the cake if you want it. Give it a try and I’m sure you’ll want to send a few cups of coffee to the developer too! It’s that good!
