Our mobile app has just been approved by Apple and Google for the test flight, the first internal tests went well so there is nothing stopping us from releasing the IOS and Android version of HeliumTracker.io.
At this point again many thanks to @Pannemann for his tireless efforts in the last weeks.
We hope you enjoy this first version and look forward to your feedback in the channels suggestions-mobile , bugs-ios and bugs-android on our Discord .
If you are not yet registered for the test flight you can do so in the channel beta-test-mobile.
There are still a few seats available.
First of all, we would like to apologize for the server outage this morning.
For reasons that have not yet been explained, both load balancing servers went down at the same time and the website could not be delivered as a result.
Both HotspotGuard and Telegram notifications continued to run and HeliumTracker also remained in sync with the blockchain.
We will go through the server logs today and cause to find out the exact cause of the outage.
Contest Time - Ends 01/17/22
Drop a HT review in feedback and a winner will be picked next Monday.
Bonus: If you have old screenshots of the website and how far we've come, your entry will count as two raffle tickets.
Rules: Must be a subscribed member of HeliumTracker's service.
Winner will receive 1 HNT 🙂
As you know, we are working hard on the mobile app right now. Nevertheless, there were also some interesting updates on the website in the last week:
We have just released the handbrake on our web servers.
At this moment there are more than 1000 users online at the same time.
It turned out that 2048 concurrent connections are no longer enough to deliver HeliumTracker.io.
We have drastically increased the number of concurrent connections and it looks like we have solved this bottleneck.
The response times of our servers are now back in the optimal range.
We have also just enabled the manual hotspot ping test feature which can ping the last known ip address of your miner and validate that it is online and ports are forwarded properly.
This feature will find its way to the hotspot guard as soon as we have finished the integration of the heliumstatus api to determine realtime ip address information.
@Sinbad has started a feedback contest:

We have just added the heartbeat monitor to our hotspot guard.
You can customize the heartbeat threshold in your account settings.
Whenever the difference between the current blockchain height and the last heartbeat (=POC activity) is greater than this threshold you will receive an email notification.
The default value is 480 which is roughly 8 hours.
Within the next days we will also enable the hotspot ping check for everyone and integrate it into the hotspot guard as well
You have chosen HeliumTracker.io as the second place winner in the category "Favorite Community App" of the 2021 Helium Noble Awards.
We are overwhelmed and very grateful for this support.
We will continue to do our best in 2022 to provide you with useful tools around the Helium network.
Thank you!
