This is iot?

I care about ease of use not about your app icon.

Needs IDE in iOS App

The BlinkUp functionality works fine. But the Electric Imp web-based IDE at the website doesn't work on iOS devices.

If the app also had IDE functioinality, I could write, debug, or modify code on the go. Which makes sense for an Internet-of-Things / Cloud-hosted device like the Electric Imp.

Easy to use

I have used this to blink up electric imps from iphone and an iPad. Easy to use.

Really neat

You have to buy one of the Electric Imp embedded computers and maybe a breakout board to solder some components to (I built a wifi thermometer), and then you use this nifty app to "blink" you wifi configuration details to the chip - and off you go.

I had a few issues with ambient light (put your hand over the card and phone), but that's no fault if this app.

It's a nifty low cost solution to bootstrapping an embedded device. Top marks to the dev's for dreaming this up!

Worked Great!

This app does what it's supposed to. Remember to cover the logo on the card with your thumb to prevent ambient light from interfering.

Perfect concept

What a great way to configure a chip. I am impressed with the ease and simplicity!

As it says

Required me to enter my wifi password to flash it (literally) to my imps. Took two tries on the first imp and 3 tries on the second.

Wish it was more robust or there was some way for the imp to signal the app that it was successful, else the app would immediately retry.

But it did work. Makes me somewhat concerned about blinking wifi config to final products.

Quick and easy

Worked on the first try. Very easy

Works perfectly

Worked perfectly on my iPhone 4 to configure my imp.
