Hi Lorenzo,

 

I apologize, I have been travelling.

Anyway, currently we are not planning for Windows phone support specifically - we do intend to have some additional enhancements for the feature.

 

You could post an idea for this and if we see a reasonable ask we would absolutely consider it.

 

Regards,

Hi Kurt,

 

This is a start with the intent to help the user with alarms. Yes, you are right we could add a lot more functionality there, we prioritized the alarm workflows first as based on our interactions with users, among other things, the use cases implemented were rated the highest.

 

Nonetheless, you suggestions are much appreciated. Let me add it to our list of things to do and we will take it forward.

Had a look at the app on Friday using iOS. My self and other colleagues feel that the app is OK, but not good.

What would make it good or maybe even great, would be to add in a Service Dashboard from Service Manager with its related sub-views, such as Current Outages, and Resources.

A network manager or an engineer will know exactly whats happening on his/her network all the time, just using their mobile device.

Regards

Kurt
