The official app is still on the Play store, but it is hidden from newer versions of Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eevblog.x121gw

I believe Meteor still works with everything: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.westerncomputational.meteor

--- Quote from: Sierra on April 05, 2023, 12:48:26 pm ---Good morning. We're in need of several portable multimeters with the following capabilities:

Will see DC use only
Max/Min and AVERAGE
mA and uA measuring
External datalogging (ideally without too much expense)

We have a single Fluke 289 now which is good but too expensive to be buying in multiples and the additional expense for data logging is high.

Have many many Uni-T UT61C meters that have served us well but are lacking the AVERAGE feature which is a big deal for our use.

Stick with the 289 you already have. You can log and view/share the Fluke forms between staff. Also, servicing and know-how, calibration will be streamlined.

Stick with the same vendor. I have 289 and used it for logging, it is great, allows you to create your own reports, export
to Excel or whatever other data processing you want to use.

Don't reinvent the wheel. Stick with what works well.

If I was running a business, and had engineers designing/testing, I would want them to use the same brand of equipment.

289 is kinda bulky, but it works well.

Either go with Brymen or stick with Fluke.

PS. Anyone can calibrate all your Flukes, not so sure about the Chinese brands.

Thanks for the links, but on both occasions I was met with the following message:
"This app isn't available for your device because it was made for an older version of Android."

I'm running Android 12, so that must not be supported.  :(

I'm not sure why you would see that message with Meteor.  I just tried it with Android 13 and it works fine.  However, it was hidden in the Play Store, so I downloaded it from here:
