Great app, I just wish it weren't so cautious about using my phone. It seems to be very scared of using any compute resources which is what I want to give to the researchers, if there were overrides that I could click "agree to terms I understand I am allowing x" such as not requiring it to be charging that would help. Highly recommend.
Cannot sign up. When the screen launched, and you chose the sign up screen, it locks up, and the keyboard and screen become non responsive. I had to shut down my phone and reboot it to first the app out. Tried it three times. Happen every time.
Works fine for me. I installed it on my old phone and i keep it plugged in all the time to help research. Also, i put a small metal ingot over the phone to absorb heat.
Great idea to easily contribute to science but a lot of the tasks no longer work & the app hasn't been updated in years, download the BOINC app directly, it's much better.
Can't get app to work. Not updated since 2016. Dreamlab by Vodafone does the same as this but actually works!
Need to provide an option to compute when on battery. Have multiple older phones when rotating charge.
Dude this app hasn't been updated since 2016 Never could get it to work. Zero help in the help area of the app or website1-9-20
It used to be good, but somehow these days the app won't let me connect to any new projects, suggestions? Thank you
The app is great but needs to be updated to fit new android versions (above android 8, you will get errors)
Hello. I only see green slideshow. And nothing els, menu, settings and etc..
A bit better than Boinc, but it made my phone freeze. 4GB RAM, 55 GB free.
This app is running on battery full, don't need to worry about out of power.
Great app for giving your mobile's extra horse power for a cause. But have a question. How is it different from BOINC?
Project sign up needs work. Sign up popup for World Community Grid doesn't work.
no tasks available for weeks now and unable to join the majority of projects
Awesome app but at this time is not working
This is good, but I don't know what to do with credits.
It isn't doing anything. I put it all night and nothing happened.
This app is working well on my htc mobile.
Ok needs updated main reason I run bionc app for years and this only 1
I'm using my HTC desire 610 now it's my only phone I have
omlette is better than this app
Needs to be updated.
Its a great app
this app is not apdate
I like this app
The best future ..importance ..aap..
Simple and easy to use app. Love the options for research and the customization right down to number if involved cores. Only issue is that any of the webpages associated with the app say they don't exist, including the FAQ, except the home page. Side note: this app will easily sideload on a fire stick and can technically run but it only turns the timer without actually processing anything. Would've been nice to run it on the fire stick that sits plugged in for hours doing nothing.
