1. Thats just not cricket, chaps.Not working at all, may be needed an update for new version of Android.Waste of time...Please update with compatibility for 6.0 :( I think you need to add the permission in your apps manifest, from what I read in forums.Working perfectly with android 6 and the latest android 7, as well as with usb type-c.Can't we capture receive and save data in hex,character format?Doesnt do arduino nano clone to s4It does not support pl2303ta.Can I software upgrade in this toolsWorks great.

2. Also, removing support for "discontinued" products as if that suddenly removes them from existing devices in the wild is incredibly short sided.

3. Supported chips dont seem to match chip case markings.

4. As a tinkerer and developer I have to say is ridiculously bad form from a company widely known as Prolific.

5. The IC I'm working with is just marked HX, no A D etc.
