Android App - few questions

[ajitk (Ajit)]

Thanks for sharing the feedback, Julia. The Android app is currently in public beta testing and your feedback is very helpful in helping us improve it.

• How do I apply DELETED and SNIPPED to smartphone view as well. I don’t see any settings for it on the phone app. At the moment I have to scroll through the whole page to see the changes. Being able to only see the changes would be very helpful.

Snipping feature is currently not available in the phone apps. We will take this as a feature request and include it in the next update.

• Also the view is set automatically to text. I have to manually change it to HTML each time I click on that page. How can I keep it on HTML view?

This looks like a bug. We save this preference in the iOS app but looks like we don’t in the Android app. We will fix this in the next update.

The primary purpose of the Android app is use it for:

1. Getting push notifications on the phone.
2. Viewing updates in the Watchlist.
3. It can also be used to manage the Watchlist for simpler tasks. For example, to switch monitors on or off.

Regarding push notifications, it should be received even when the app is not active. But Android lets one control this behavior to save battery for each app. What phone are you using?

Edit: I am assuming that “Push notification” action has been enabled for the monitors.
