Engbird 4+

So this app looks quite cool and does the basics of displaying the data from the device. However not all the features work. The graphs don’t display historical data and the data export fails. The email goes out but nothing attached. Some room for improvement.

Update 2.2.4: Yes sir we finally have chart zoom back! However, I’m not sure if it’s just me - it’s tied in with the latest update, but the device has started to tear through batteries. I’m using at least 1 every 3-4 days at the moment. Tried a few different manufacturers and all within the same kind of margins. Be interested to know if others have noticed the same....

Update 2.1.1: no noticeable differences, graph still doesn’t auto-range for the plotted points, no zoom or any changes to the graph even after the graph fixes that were meant to be implemented in version 2.1.0. Pretty poor experience I was looking to buy more sensors, but may start to look elsewhere.

Update 2.0.8: Appreciate the graph line being thicker and being allowed to store up to 30k data points. Please bring back the graph colours to show when we’re outside safe range, fix it so we can calibrate both parameters, remove unnecessary range with no data points (I’m never going to see above 40c so why show whole range to 70c and a tiny flat graph) and please please bring back graph scaling so can make the whole day/week/month fit on the screen at once - then it’s 5*

Update 2.0.3 : the line has now been made green, doesn’t really help much, no graph zoom, still can’t calibrate temp and humi values. The new data feed view is a nice touch. Please fix the calibration and bring back the graph zoom so we can bring the whole day into view rather than scrolling.

Original review for update 2.0: The old version of this app, looked ugly but worked. The new version completely destroys the charts using a light blue 1 pixel line to display the graph line and gives no option to zoom the whole day/week/month/year into view. They’ve actually removed the option to flip the screen so you can view it wider (at least is the case on an XR). All of this could be forgiven, but the worst of all is that you now can no longer calibrate both the temp and humidity, if you set one the other defaults itself adding a load of zeros. They could be before or after what you’ve entered - either way it voids accuracy and the data displayed in charts. Text book example of how to ruin an app by trying to fix what’s not broken with either poor prelaunch testing or being redesigned by someone who clearly doesn’t use or understand the app in the real world. At least the UI looks great now.
