About

MyObserver

Read full description

L’app MyObserver permette la consultazione e la visualizzazione dei dati del proprio sistema di monitoraggio CAE direttamente sul proprio iPhone o iPad. L'acquisizione dei dati e la configurazione degli stati vengono eseguiti sulla centrale CAE DataLife, dalla quale l’app scarica i contenuti necessari e li mostra all’utente in molteplici modi. All'avvio si ha una visione d'insieme di tutta la rete, distribuita sul territorio utilizzando la base cartografica delle mappe Google, per avere un quadro generale della situazione mediante l'utilizzo di marker colorati associati agli stati delle stazioni. Su ogni punto di monitoraggio, con un semplice tap, sono disponibili varie azioni, ad esempio passare al dettaglio di tutti gli elementi. In tal caso l’app mostra una vista tabellare nella quale poter analizzare valore, incremento e stato di ogni singolo elemento registrato. Da questi, con un altro tap sull’elemento, si richiama il grafico dei dati acquisiti in centrale, mostrando fino a 7 giorni ed eventualmente confrontandoli con altri elementi della stessa o di altre stazioni. È possibile zoomare il grafico e mostrare i singoli valori registrati. Per apprezzare maggiormente i fenomeni di pioggia è inoltre disponibile il grafico in forma di istogramma con l’aggregazione scelta dall’utente. Una funzionalità molto utile è poter aprire Google Street View nel punto di installazione della stazione (l’app Google Street View deve essere installata sul dispositivo) ed impostarlo come punto di destinazione sul navigatore. È possibile condividere qualsiasi schermata con i principali sistemi di messaggistica o di social sharing.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MyObserver at none against Snow's 10. Snow's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 41 months) and chart position (#66 vs unranked). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
