An Android build is now available! Following this link _should_ let you enroll in the open testing system (Play’s equivalent to TestFlight): [https://play.google.com/apps/testing/app.flyscoop.android](https://play.google.com/apps/testing/app.flyscoop.android)

Any/all feedback is welcome (even if it’s just “it worked”) - I’ve tested on an emulator but not a real device. Enjoy!

👋 Hello again. Fun news: I’ve just opensourced this app. You can find the repo here:

> **[GitHub - mik3y/flyscoop: Mobile monitoring and management app for Fly.io.](https://github.com/mik3y/flyscoop)**
>
> Mobile monitoring and management app for Fly.io. Contribute to mik3y/flyscoop development by creating an account on GitHub.

If you’re interested in improving things, or just want to explore what a [far from exemplary] mobile / react-native app looks like, please do have a look. While I haven’t had a ton of time to take things further here, maybe this will help it along. Enjoy!

Installed the Android app on a Chromebook and a Pixel 5a.

It looks good and works as expected.

Thank you.

Sorry about that! Looks like it has expired again. I will get a new build pushed - and get this sucker on the app store after that, as it seems it’s been pretty stable!

(And in the meantime please shout if you have any other feedback/suggestions.)

Hey @mikey, it looks like the app expired and the TestFlight link isn’t working (it says no longer accepting users in this beta).

Any chance we could get a refresh? Thanks!

New build pushed to TestFlight & Android… as usual, holler if any problems!

@rlcustomdesigns (or anyone) - I’m curious if you’ve come to use the app regularly or have found any particular workflows useful? Just curious. I suppose it’s the downside of having zero analytics or third-party reporting in the app - I have no idea how it is being used! 🙂

Hey @mikey thanks for getting it back up again!

I’m using my [Fly.io](http://Fly.io) account to run a Discord bot I created for my community. I use FlyScoop for a super quick and easy way to access its logs. I’ve recently been adding new features to my bot, so having a mobile-friendly way to read my logs is useful to me in case I need to debug something.

If I see something unexpected in its behaviour, I just pull up the app and the logs tell me what happened. That’s basically my use case so far.

One thing I feel I really need is a way to turn the bot on/off. [Fly.io](http://Fly.io) doesn’t offer any killswitch; a simple on/off toggle. I came to [Fly.io](http://Fly.io) from Heroku, who had this. Correct me if I’m wrong but the only way to turn off the app is to use the CLI `fly scale --app name count 0` to scale it down to `0`, and then to `1` to turn it back on. I can’t use the CLI on mobile - so if it’s possible to do this via API/add this to FlyScoop, that would be perfect.

If I may offer some other feedback:

- I don’t really have a use for the data transfer graph but it would be good if it had units. I can’t interpret what it means without it.
- The tab row’s icons are getting cut off at the bottom.
- The logs don’t have syntax highlighting - and they also don’t recognise coloured logs (they’re showing the codes instead). For reference, it’s a Python app. This is how it’s supposed to look:

This is how it looks in FlyScoop:

- As a benchmark for a good UI, I really like [‎Dyno PaaS on the App&nbsp;Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/herokudyno/id1624140093)

I hope that’s useful to you. Let me know if I can help in any other way!

Thanks for the awesome feedback! Quick notes inline:

That’s really cool to hear - basically it’s the same reason I wanted to make it (something easy to pull up “on the bus”).

>
> One thing I feel I really need is a way to turn the bot on/off. [Fly.io](http://Fly.io) doesn’t offer any killswitch; a simple on/off toggle.

I’d love that too, it’s been on the [todo list](https://github.com/mik3y/flyscoop#features) but neglected as I haven’t had much time for this in a few months. I’ll try to give it a stab soon.

All great suggestions - I opened a few issues in the project to track.

Nice app! But it looks as if the TestFlight link has expired. Is it possible to open it up for more users? @mikey

Dang, this again… yes! My apologies for the delay as I’m currently traveling. I should be able to get this bumped in the next day or two.

(We’re also using Fly a little bit more, so I should have some time over the holiday weekend to touch up some of the lingering bug/feature requests.)

Fixed - just pushed a new build out to TestFlight.

(And sorry I haven’t had time to add/improve features in the time since. PRs etc are still welcome in [the github project](https://github.com/mik3y/flyscoop).)

Hey, the TestFlight link doesn’t work anymore. Also, is it still in development, by any chance?  
Thanks !
