F.A.Q

Question Answer
I see a grey screen when I first start the app? Yes, that's normal. Until something happens to the PRT (e.g. it goes down, it goes back up, etc.), that screen will stay grey. Once something finally happens, you'll get a notification on your phone and the screen will automatically start updating with the statuses. I know this was an initial dumb design, but I looked over it before release and I wanted to get a stable and production ready version out before students arrived back on campus. This has been fixed server-side. No client update necessary.
Does this app collect any information about me? Not at all. This app uses Google Cloud Messaging which assigns your device a random and unique identifier and then sends my server (also open source, found here) that unique identifier so that I know which device to send the PRT messages to.
Will this device work on my Android Wear or Pebble? Yes! At least, it should. If you enabled your phone's notifications to also show up on your android wear or pebble smartwatch, it should also receive the PRT status notification. If you're experiencing troubles, feel free to post an issue.
