Vobot is one of the few items I’ve bought online that is worth every penny. Congratulations on a great product, and I’m looking forward to 1.1.0!

I’m curious if the App Carousel function will automatically swap between apps on a timer or some periodic basis or if it is still manual by the user? In either case - will we be able to exclude apps from the rotation - eg I don’t use Todoist and don’t want to see that.

Would it be an OTA software update then?

Hello,

Thanks for your comment!

Regarding the App Carousel function, our current practice is that you can select the App you want to display during configuration, and the regular automatic switching will only be between the selected Apps. For the App you don’t want to display, as long as you don’t select it, it will not be displayed in the carousel.

If you have any questions about the product, please feel free to leave a message.

I just instaled it. I checked the weather app and the non english characters continues to show bad. Like Málaga.
