# Using the App

There are two app options for the eChook: **Omni Telemetry** and the **eChook app (legacy)**. Both apps log data locally and can upload data to the eChook Live Data website.

For most teams, Omni Telemetry is the recommended default.

A quick comparison:

A huge thanks to Keith and the Banchory team for sharing their app!

#### Installing the OMNI Telemetry app

Omni Telemetry is available from the Play Store - <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.keduro.omni&hl=en_GB>

#### Installing the eChook app (Legacy)

The eChook app is no longer on the play store.

As a lot of teams use older phones for the app we have always kept it at the lowest API level allowed by the play store. This has now come back to bite us as the play store requirements have jumped, and the changes needed to the app to bring it back up to compliance are quite major. If further development occurs on the app it will be provided as a downloadable APK.

Please use the download from [APKPure](https://apkpure.com/echook/com.ben.drivenbluetooth), and follow their [installation instructions](https://apkpure.com/how-to/how-to-install-xapk-apk).
