Smart devices are difficult to find in general for windows. If I come across them that only support iOS and android, I generally ignore them.
Who's talking about an app gap? This thread is about a product that claims to be usable via a web interface.... BUT requires an Android or iOS app to create an account for that web site.Why are we still talking about an app gap on Windows?
Yeah. I posted in #7 that the emulator works. Not a lot of options for this type of product of which it is the best. If the emulator ever stops working, I can get a used tablet for cheaper than switching to another product.Regarding the OP, you could always run the app in an emulator on your PC to sign up, but this weird requirement is a sign they are not a very clear thinking company so I advise taking the hint and looking elsewhere.
Okay. There never was a Windows version of some apps. Okay some windows apps go away.
I am shopping for a smart sprinkler timer and thought Orbit's B-Hyve was a good choice. Says can be controlled from an Android phone, and iPhone or a web interface. Great!
But the web interface tells you you must first create an account. You may have guessed.... You can only create the account with an Android or iPhone app. SMH.
Also, you can apparently do everything in the web interface except set up the wifi credentials or change them.
Their help desk actually can't believe anyone would find a problem with their solution of buying or borrowing an Android phone just to set up the web portal account and wifi and any time the wifi changed.
It's not defeat, it's surrender.This is a dead subject. And OS. It is ok to admit defeat.
Who cares about the app gap? APP is just a different interface for something that can be reached through a browser.
