An app-quality release: the Android app gets much more reliable at
staying connected, and both apps gain a Wi-Fi manager. Firmware behavior
is unchanged — updating it is optional (it adds one diagnostic log line).
Android app (flowe-0.6.2.apk)
The app now recovers from every connection dead end we could produce.
Turning Bluetooth or airplane mode on and off, a silently failed
connection attempt, or a half-open link (the device thinks it is
connected, the app does not) — all previously required force-closing the
app. Now the app detects each case and reconnects on its own, usually in
seconds.
Manage your device's Wi-Fi. Settings -> Device Wi-Fi lists every
network you have shared, with live status from the device ("On device",
"Sending to device", "Join failed - check the password"), plus add and
remove. Changes made while the device is away are saved and applied on
the next connection.
An anonymous daily count. Once a day the app tells our server: a
random install ID, the platform, the app version, and which device is
paired. That is the whole message — no account, no email, no book data,
no third parties. Turn it off any time in Settings -> Share anonymous
usage. Full wording: https://www.flowe.ink/privacy
iPhone app
The same Wi-Fi manager, in Settings and from the Read tab. Ships via
TestFlight.
Install
- Android: download flowe-0.6.2.apk below and open it (updates in place;
your pairing and library stay). - iPhone: TestFlight.
- Firmware (optional): https://www.flowe.ink/flash — Update Flowe in the
browser keeps your pairing, or copy update.bin from flowe-firmware.zip
to the microSD card.
Release page cleanup
Firmware releases now ship one universal image under one set of names:
flowe-firmware.zip (SD card), update.bin (browser Update), flowe-full.bin
(browser Clean install), latest.json, SHA256SUMS.txt. The old per-device
files (flowe-x3*/flowe-x4*) were identical copies of the same universal
image and are gone; the firmware detects your device at boot.
