I just made my 121GW review video public here...

Took me a minute to realise you didn't have a green screen here!
Your lighting is amazing, what are you using? Do you have a studio tour video?
Many products have app issues over their lifetime, it is a fact of life now. Best to just move on. The 121GW actually has it pretty good, with the official Android and Windows app still available and working...
Once upon a time, most engineering software was exclusive to Windows, and there was a lot of shaming that took place when it came to engineers who preferred Apple hardware, even to the extent that many who embraced Windows called into question the engineering credentials of those who preferred the Mac. But in recent years Apple product adoption has increased to the level that even Microchip decided to make a MacOS version of MPLAB X. People in the engineering world are a tiny bit friendlier to Mac users, which is a nice break from the past. And that has been great for folks like me who are Mac and iOS users exclusively when it comes to machines I used privately at home. Even at work, I've moved my ProMate 3 from an old WinXP machine to my iMac, since MPLAB is on MacOS now.
So when I read something is considered "pretty good" ONLY BECAUSE it has "official Android and Windows apps", I am compelled to chuckle and whisper to myself — that doesn't help me! :-)
But like I said, the Meteor app exists for iOS, and that DOES help me; and I will continue to use it, along with the SD card for data logging. I am merely saying that if Meteor could be improved by way of adding a FREEZE button that freezes the currently logged waveform without frustratingly dimming the screen content, that would be outstanding for iOS users like myself (and I doubt I am the only one). And, if the release of the official iOS app's source code leads to it coming back to the App store AND offering a different set of features than Meteor, all the better!
I wish to humbly that @EEVblog for having investing the time to reply and make source code publicly available, for those (other than myself) who could possibly make productive use of it, for the good of all 121GW users.
lol in contrast to me, every single apple products are the last thing i want to touch in the world...but everyone has different preference after all
btw why don't you try using VM for iOs and smuview?? if your iOs is good then it should have no problem running windows or linux VM anyway
You cannot add "121GW Multimeter" to the cart because the product is out of stock.
Some EEVblog store products are also available from Simon's Electronics in the UK, Welectron in Germany, and Amazon in the US and Australia.
Didn't Dave or someone mention recently that the 121GW was discontinued or soon to be?
Dave,
I was contacted by a viewer of my 121GW review video who says he cannot order the meter from your product page. I just checked. Pretty crazy. Says 2 in stock, but when you try to add to your Cart you can't. Why? Because it then says this:
QuoteSome EEVblog store products are also available from Simon's Electronics in the UK, Welectron in Germany, and Amazon in the US and Australia.
"Amazon in the US" is not accurate. I just checked. Says UNAVAILABLE.
If you want one right now, Welectron has 9 in stock: https://www.welectron.com/EEVBlog-121GW-Data-Logging-Multimeter-with-Bluetooth
Hi. I am the person who intended to purchase 121GW accessing your store from Japan After watching a thoroughly comprehensive review by fellow Japan resident youTuber, JDW.
Is the UT61E listing maybe just be his way of doing an affiliate/click-through? Seems like it will be drop shipped direct from China rather than through Dave in Australia.
Didn't Dave or someone mention recently that the 121GW was discontinued or soon to be?
Curious you seem to be asking that question to either myself or GraXXoR, when it's rather clear that neither one of us are aware of any mention of product discontinuation. You didn't even link to any post citing discontinuation. And as you said, the website has not been updated, still showing inventory, which makes no sense if a product has been discontinued.
I do still have some stock left, and have ordered some more stock due late Jan. But Kane have advised that they are basically using up their remaining stock of parts, and I get the vibe that once that's done they might not want to make it any more.
Sorry about the problems, I've actually moved to a new store website, so try that.

I am updating the purchase links in the text description under my 121GW Review video now, Dave. But even though I see the FUSE PACK on your new shop site, it has been out of stock for at least a year and as long as I can remember. And news about availability?

Same issue with the Soft Case for 121GW too:

Hi there there seems to be some confusion about what issue I’m having here.
The thing is I go through the entire shopping process added to my cart, it does actually seem to be in stock…. And once I’ve added it to my cart I go to the PayPal checkout and then I enter my business address or use the one register with my PayPal (home address) and then it says that it cannot be shipped to my country.
However there is still a pay button underneath it which seems a bit odd considering it can’t be shipped and I don’t want to press it.
I have attached the error message which I am receiving.
My address is central Tokyo.
