An announcement for the Android users amongst us
-
@thegreck You are absolutely correct about that. But at some point you just have to pull the trigger on a release and squash bugs as they come up. Android is truly a mess to develop for and there is no way to test an app on every iteration for every device without unleashing it on the masses.
-
@thegreck I already have an iphone4s :smile:

-
@Aswellie Hey what phone/version of Android are you on?
It'd be probably kinda handy for these guys to debug if there was more info.
-
works like a charm for me. But I don't really see myself using it a lot. Ok...to check the battery maybe...but other than that? there is nothing you can do right? change riding styles and turn on/off lights.
-
@OneDream Pretty much, but checking the battery life is a pretty big one. I use it constantly to see where I'm at on battery life while riding, otherwise you get yourself stranded somewhere and have to lug a 25-pound brick to the nearest outlet.

@dontfeedthenerd Motorola Moto X Gen 1 running android Lollipop 5.1
-
@OneDream You can see how fast you are riding if you are brave enough to look at your phone while riding.
-
Thank you!!!! It works on my Note 5
-
THANK YOU!!!!! :clap: :clap: :clap:
-
@fabuz works like a dream on Nexus 6 with latest Android version.
-
Very happy!!
-
Now everyone just needs to send an email asking for a battery level alert!
For example at 50% vibrate and notification...
-
Would be awesome to have Android Wear support eventually too :P
-
Awesome! Finally get to ride onewheel to its full potential! It was fun riding normal mode, but once you ride in extreme you'll never go back! Love that i can turn lights off. Thanks FM, keep up the good work!

This Android-App works only on mobile phone with Android Version 5. Any other guys don't see the App in Google-Play-Store, because the App is incompatible. I wrote a mail to Jack last day.
I hope that the developer compile the App again for all phones with Version 4.2.1 and above. Best regards from Germany.

@RentOnewheel They told you that it only works on version 5.0 (Lollipop) or above? That is a bummer for a large percentage of users and if they aren't planning on making the app more backwards compatible, they should make it clear to current owners and potential buyers what the minimum specs are. Luckily, the app works mostly fine on my Nexus6P--though it did crash at least once yesterday. Did you get any sense that this "Jack" actually develops the Android app or is he some dude who is just tasked with communicating with us about the Android app?
-
@bmtka Jack isn't the developer of the app, he is an employee of onewheel and my communication partner concerning the Onewheel.
Best regards from Germany.

As do I. But I've gotten pretty good at reading the power button light for battery level. With in 5-10%.
-
I've spent about 5 hours trying to get the android tasker app to monitor the onewheel app and alert me when battery falls below 50%. Think I've finally got that something that works, still lots of bugs though..
