The app overall works pretty good, but I am having issues with the ifttt/cloud, I am unable to paste or write my key to use that featureKeeps crashing for Samsung Galaxy Tab s4 wasn't able to use at allCan't find my Thingy ☹️Very intuitiveCool you!Cannot connect using Samsung Note 8, Scan sees nothing even though I can scan tag with NFC fine, and can see it in Bluetooth settings and connect to it with nRF Connect just fine.

2. I am happy to beta test if you email ReanimationXP at gmail.There are only 3 cloud events such as temperature ,pressure and button state .we need additional cloud events such as humidity,co2 and color intensity.

3. I turned the thingy off and on again and it now seems to be working....except that it keeps asking me if I want to update the firmware to 2.2.0. When I select confirm, the app crashes.Great app as Nordic's usually do.

4. Initially the device wouldn't pair with my tablet.

5. Please help.
