Almer app 1.17

March 18 2024

Added Torch Control
- Control the Arc's flashlight from the Almer app
- This feature is pretty straight-forward and enables use of the Almer Arc in low-light environments. The requirement arose from workers in the machining industry needing to "share" visual information about the inside of some of their hardware installations.
Added Auto Brightness Control
- Control the Arc's screen brightness from the Almer app
- This feature helps the user optimize the battery life of the Arc, given their requirements. They can reduce the brightness for an even longer life-span in low-light environments and increase it in those where they need the higher brightness to see the display properly. Additionally, the bright display of the Arc could make it hard for the worker to focus in low-light environments.

Selected application is now highlighted
- In the app switching menu, the currently selected app is now highlighted
- This improvement makes the experience more intuitive, offering the user clear visual feedback.
Longer list of available Wi-Fi networks
- When in an environment with lots of available networks, you can now see more of them.
- Most factories end up having a large number of Wi-Fi networks available, making selecting the right one difficult, before this improvement.
Updated image of Arc to reflect the new model
- With the advent of the new model of the Arc, the visual in the app now also clearly indicates the new look.
Arc info can now be copied via long press
- This makes sharing of the technical details of an Arc easier, stream-lining customer support
