Using the App

There are two app options for the eChook - the eChook app and a new offering from the Banchory Greenpower team, OMNI Telemetry. Development on the eChook app has been falling behind a bit, and the Banchory Team have very kindly stepped up and offered their app to all teams as an alternative. Both apps log the data locally, and allow uploading the data to the eChook live data website.

Unless you have a reason to use the eChook app, the current recommendation is to use the new OMNI app.

A quick comparison:

	Omni Telemetry	eChook App
On Google Play Store	Yes	No
Logs data to csv locally	Yes	Yes
Display data to driver	Yes	Yes
Upload to eChook Live Data	Yes	Yes
Upload to dweet.io public channels	Yes	Yes
Upload to custom Server URL	Yes	Yes
Lap Counting	Yes - auto start	Yes - Manual start
Works with Screen Off	Yes	No

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

Installing the OMNI Telemetry app

Onmi 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

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, and follow their installation instructions.
