    In previous email conversations, Radu mentioned plans for an Android/iOS app, and I suggested a screen widget to go with it (I’m an Android user, I assume iOS has something similar to the widget functionality).

    Obviously with so much other critical development going on there’s no telling where this will come in the priority list, it’s more of a ‘nice to have’ than a ‘must have’, I think – but I wanted to start this thread to brainstorm/discuss some features which we think would be beneficial in a mobile URADMon app.

    Great initiative.

    I think one useful feature will be to automatically show on app startup all stations close to user’s position, so the app would be as informative as possible. Also stats on radiation trends and a few lines on exposure limits and their effects, as published in current literature.

    Email alerts or push notifications should be configured on the website, and delivered to the mobile apps, for events like: major changes in background radiation levels at some location, preconfigured threshold reached, etc.

    The ui should take advantage of modern UI/UX

    Love the example screenshots! Here’s a few things I’ve been thinking of – I’m not really considering feasibility right now – just throwing ideas out there into the pot.

    • Ability to search for units by ID, geographic location, etc – and to filter/order a list by CPM/dose rate/uSv/h, etc
    • I’d like the permissions of the app to be constrained to only those that are really necessary. The number of apps now that ask for full access to your camera, contacts, microphone, etc is shocking. Hopefully we can design it in such a way to be minimally intrusive.
    • IFTTT (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ifttt.ifttt&hl=en) integration – the ability to chain alerts into other Channels might be useful. For example; if my monitor registers CPM above a pre-defined threshold, email Radhoo and say “goodbye, nice knowing you”, etc.
    • Ability to set a favourite station, or stations, which will appear in your ‘dashboard’ or stats, without having to go into a list or map view to find them. For example, I could favourite or ‘star’ the three Orlando units – and would see their information together in one place thereafter, without searching for those units.

    Very good ideas, I find the one with the favourite station particularly useful.
