User reviews

Garbage app

I suppose you could call this app a success, if your definition of success is that it downloads to your phone and takes up space. By any other metric, this app is total garbage. It does not appear to accomplish the basic functions for which it was (supposedly) developed. This is odd as the company otherwise produces some pretty good products, and they have a reputation for being reliable if a bit conservative with their instruments. It’s not clear why a company would put out an app like this not debug it not support it not update it and have it tarnish their reputation. They should either fix this or remove it from the App Store as all it does now is caused frustration for current or potential customers

Works as expected

The app works well and makes it more convenient to download logs.

Efficient

Makes field downloads much easier and efficient. No more USB communication glitches that were a constant source of frustration.

Flop

After the update my coworkers and myself have not been able to open the app on our iPhones. It just disappears when you try and open it. It was great when it worked.

Crashes instantly

Worked fine a few weeks back, now just crashes as soon as it is opened. Not sure if it was an app update or iOS update but the app does not work at all now.
