Big Supporter
Why are you shutting g down this app. I’ve been supporting this app for year and want to see it continue.
Great stuff dreamlab
Easy to use. Worthwhile. Even though a non mathematician I’d like to have some better idea of the sort of calculations my iPhone is doing. Any chance of explaining to the layman? Great work though
It’s good to know we’re contributing BUT. There is so very feedback. The researchers really do need to think about the volunteers and give Sri some basic
Still good but as a volunteer I feel we should get occasional brief feedback about what’s being accomplished

WHO DA THOUGHT!
Haven’t slept so well in years due to a app. Would love to find out more about the people involved and see how an what the numbers are crunched into along with what are my calculations mean if I have 68
Dream Lab
I think it is wonderful of Vodafone to do this and I have been using a his app for years.
Some time back, I suddenly I got an ‘oops’ message.
Let it sleep for 24 hours, same message. Another 24 hours, ditto. Removed the app and reinstalled.
Same message? Why is this?
Is this to convince me to get a new phone?
have made numerous contributions!
Guess I will have to go see my Vodafone man, Riyaz!

Fantastic
Highly worthwhile app, everyone should have it. Works very well, no bugs or glitches, UI is excellent. And you can help the world while you sleep. It’s a whole lot of win
It’s A No Brainer
I mean… why wouldn’t you donate your unused computer’s and smart device’s processing power to medical science. You never know whose life you just might contribute to saving - possibly the life of someone you know… maybe even yourself.
Verbesserungsvorschlag
Ich habe einen Verbesserungsvorschlag: Ich habe die App mit meinem Apple Account genutzt. Dann musste ich einmal die App löschen und neu installieren. Allerdings sehe ich danach meine vorherigen, damaligen Berechnungen nur noch unter „Beitrag“ -> „Alle Geräte insgesamt“, und unter „Beitrag“ -> „Meine Berechnungen insgesamt“. Es wäre mir lieber, wenn ich mit meinem Verknüpften Apple Account auch noch die einzelnen Projekte unter den damaligen Berechnungen sehen könnte. Also z.B. dass man da auf die Gesamtanzahl der damaligen Berechnungen draufklicken kann und dann diese pro Projekt aufgelistet sieht. Also die damaligen Berechnungen pro Projekt auch dann, wenn man per Apple-Account oder per Google-Account verknüpft.

Great idea, wish Mac app gave more power
The idea of distributed computing for science is fantastic, I only wish that I could contribute more of my workstation to the cause. I have a high-powered M2 Ultra and M4 Pro systems and there doesn’t appear to be a way to increase the use of those resources beyond about 30% of one core. I understand not wanting to over-use resources and increase heat of energy consumption, but if I am leaving this on overnight on a desktop or laptop with fans, I should be able to contribute more. Is it possible for a fix?

Restarting app
Have been using this on five devices for years now. They would get more calculations out of us if when reconnecting you didn’t have to go through four screens asking to reconnect
Just doing my bit to help
Ive put this app on every night for the past 5 /6 years . It costs me NOTHING. But it helps research deceases and weather phenomenon. So just doing my bit to help.
Tomorrow is in our hands
The app that makes our literal dreams of a better world come true ❤️
Simplicity
Very easy to use app - simply start session and leave your phone alone. There’s a lot of visibility of what and how much data is used, what research you can select and the benefits of using the app.
Very simple to change the amount of data accessible by the app.

Afterthought for Vodafone
Not updated for a very long time
Very easy to use and you help others!
1. Start. Needs power and network, preferably Wi-Fi. Plug in your device, go online, open the app, and set your cellular and Wi-Fi data limits. Then tap “Start session”. The display shows seconds passed and calculations done. After a few seconds, it makes the screen very dim and displays a screensaver. That’s it!
2. Your screen will not lock. Because your device is unlocked, you might not want to run DreamLab if other people are around, like in a dorm.
3. Foreground. On iOS, DreamLab cannot run in background, so the session pauses if you open another app, use your device, or lock it. Go back to DreamLab and press Continue.
4. Ends. The session ends if you unplug your device for more than about seven seconds, press “End Session”, or force close the app.
5. Calculation time. My recent-model iPhone runs a Corona-AI Phase 5 calculation in about nine minutes. If it runs full-time, that is 150 calculations per day. An iPad mini 5 takes about 25 minutes or 58 calculations per day. A Cell Identity Hunter Phase 2 calculation takes about eleven times longer.
6. Errors. If you see an error message such as Oops, close the app and try again. If that does not work, it is likely a bug that the developers will fix in a couple of workdays. When they update the app, download the latest version, and carry on.
7. Info. The best source may be the r/DreamLab Reddit.
8. Outreach. Unfortunately, the DreamLab app team rarely reaches out to users. Support is minimal. Most research groups who develop projects for us to run on DreamLab do not reach out.

A Great Cause
I am proud to have been using both my iPhone and iPad to help calculate scientific calculations with DreamLab, over the past 4 years. Helping the Garvin Institute in help fighting CORONA Virus, cancer research, environmental research and more, through scientific calculations via our smart devices. Supporting the expensive super computers. All of this is via the Vodafone Foundation and is free to use, as we all mostly have unlimited home internet data, to power these important scientific calculations for research.

It’s ok but
I’d like to see an option to crunch numbers when not plugged in. Maybe with a slider to send a notification when your phone gets down to a specific percentage.
I don’t like being nagged to invite a friend every time I end a session. This is the reason I’m not going to continue using the app.

No longer appears to be working
I have been a big supporter of this app for years and have told Fred and family about it asking them to download and help with research. But unfortunately, I have not seen any progress on the projects reported. There has been no progress shown on the project I selected, Cell Identity Hunter, for weeks and weeks. I recently noticed that has been true for at least a couple days or the other projects. This is very disappointing as I felt like I was helping with research in some small way.

…but
The claimed objectives are commendable, but the tracking, fingerprinting and privacy issues are not. When trying to restrict the data scrapers, the program won’t run. How about producing a purer platform without all the third party barnacles for those who wish their privacy to be respected?
Très Utile et Mise à Jour
L'app est formidable et fonctionne très bien sur les machines M3 cependant, j'ai l'impression qu'elle n'utilise pas le plein potentiel des puces ; Les ventilateurs ne se lancent pas et l'app consomme peu de ressources. L'ajout d'un mode "Plus" permettant d'utiliser de ressources pourrait être une bonne idée.
"se connecter via Apple" fonctionne sur les macOS et Apple Devices récents.
Il n'y a plus aucun problème de demande d'autorisation.
Je ne trouve pas de bug.
COMMENTAIRE PRECEDENT (Catalina & Intel) -- Il est malheureusement impossible de lancer une session ; l'application demande de brancher l'appareil. Il s'agit d'un iMac (macOS Catalina).
Il est également impossible d'utiliser la fonction "se connecter via Apple" il y a le chargement, mais rien ne se passe après plusieurs minutes d'attente.
Je mets 3 étoiles car j'utilise l'application sur iPhone et je sait qu'elle est utile, cependant, je ne peux pas donner de meilleure note tant que l'application ne fonctionne pas. C'est dommage.
L'application ne demande aucune autorisation à part pour les notifcations, le problème vient peut-être de là ?

Fault appeared.
Hi, about 2 days ago a fault appeared in the app. When I start it, it gives a message “Oops, something went wrong”.
I’ve been running it for a long time on an iPad 6, and an iPhone SE20. Both devices have the fault.
