Blynk

Sir, I have been using Blynk app for many IOT projects and it has been the most efficient and versatile app for me when it comes to home automation. But when I used the timer widget and normal on/off button simultaneously in a single project for a same gpio pin(ESP8266), it sometimes behaves in an awkward manner. It sometimes automatically switches off the pin even when the timer is not reached the off time(time set to turn off). Otherwise extraordinary app.

This suppose to support Bluetooth classic and bluetooth low energy and before this update all the my project worked fine with blynk. After the update i cannot connect my project via bluetooth low energy. I'm using the bluetooth classic for now in the hope this will be rectified soon. Then today I was further disappointed by the fact that, although the email and no fiction widget is allowed to be used whilst using bluetooth communication, it does not work. Whenever an email should be triggered then a message at the bottom of the screen asks me to update the Blynk app inspite of the fact that I am using the latest update available on my note 4. I can't understand why the email and bluetooth is working on wifi (which I tested) but not when using bluetooth. Please can Blynk get back to me with a solution. Thanks.

Guys, your iOS App works a LOT better than android. We've now saw it buggy on lower end as well as High End phones. My guess is, disable the animation effect when switching between projects. It's lagging. The problem is when opening the app and when switching to another project.

There were some problems with logging but now are fixed. Still a very good app.

The colours of the app are bad. Light green vs light gray while selecting the port. Documentation of the system is large but contains very little information. It took a lot of time to make the first project because of the (not so) funny documentation.

I love the idea of this app. I'm not super happy about having to "buy more energy" to use more than a few resources though, but its acceptable. What is NOT acceptable is having to spend that energy to use the home screen widgets AND never getting that energy back after removing the widgets!! Either remove the energy requirements for using the widgets or make sure the energy is refunded in full after removing a widget. Non-refundable energy for the "Sharing" feature is fine, but NOT for widgets.

Thank You Blynk for making things so easy. User friendly interphase with all the necessary tools at one place. A must have for home automation. I have tested it many times and every time it has worked. I recommend this app not only for electronic hobbyists but also for those who are looking for automation and security. Blynk is highly reliable and efficient. K. P. Singh

Great app. However I'm having an issue selecting the BLE widget. I'm using an android device, samsung note 4 (and testing it on a Samsung tab A 2017 edition). The BLE widget in app is grayed out and won't allow me to select it. I am able to connect to the BLE module using other apps so I'm quite certain it is not my device. Please advise what can be done to resolve this. Thanks

UPDATE: I just figured out that deleting all data and logging in restores connectivity. I hope this helps others. ORIGINAL MESSAGE: Can't connect to server, I get this a lot now. Is this your way to force people off the legacy version? I WILL NOT MOVE TO THE NEW VERSION IF THINGS STAY LIKE THIS. I paid for this and like it just the way it is.

Fantastic app. I cannot fault it. I'm running this app on my Samsung Galaxy Note 10+; & it's very stable & user friendly. The Blynk API for Arduino is equally as phenomenal. I've got that on a Feather M0 Bluefruit LE, running FreeRTOS; & I can't fault it. In fact, Blynk has become my go-to for any of my projects that require Android interactivity over Bluetooth or IoT.
