Comments on Folding@Home for Android

★★★★★ This is great IF you have a Wi-Fi connection. I have unlimited data on my phone, so I use it as a wireless hotspot on the rare occasions I use my computer... Why would I pay over $100 a month to Communist-cast for subpar Wi-Fi that doesn't work half the time!?! I really wish there was a settings menu where you could adjust it to use data, then put a restriction on it to only use up to [blank] amount. I may just uninstall this app to free up space in my phone if I can no longer use it
★★★★★ Great! I wish I could tie it in w/ my main PC F@H stats; on my LITTLE.big phone, only uses my LITTLE cores, leaving my big idle.… Seems wasteful. Also, on my alternate phone, doesn't recognize when charging, so won't function
★★★★★ A great cause to help out with when you are charging your phone.
★★★★★ Great idea, we need the whole world to charge their phones and fight the big health issues we face.
★★☆☆☆ Will not start. Does not recognize that my device is plugged in. Charged 100% and connected to wifi and charger for the last 7 hours. No folding.
★★☆☆☆ Doesn't function AT ALL with Android 7 Nougat on multiple phones!! Only works with 100% battery, NEEDS WIFI constantly to run? Why? You download some work units and the phone shouldn't need any connection for some time. It should not run out of work for at least 24 hours. -- HAS this app heard of the CELLULAR connection?? It has data too....... -Will not use all cores of an 8 core Moto G4 phone! Or very little of each, etc. Phone barely warms up. Compare that to running BOINC, where you can set it to run 8 cores, the phone gets nice and toasty. And BOINC doesn't need a constant WIFI connection, or a full battery. You can set the minimum battery percentage in which it'll number crunch. Even can run on battery power alone if you want to! It will cache work units for many days by default! (sadly no config option for that, but it's at a good medium) So, this app is very restrictive. It needs constant WIFI and 100% battery, even though it loads my pocket computer way less than 100% utilization. -** EVEN in ideal conditions, it would get a lot less work done than BOINC could do running Rosetta@home (if it were compatible with ARM architecture). Try again. I am using it though, along with BOINC. 131K devices are 'helping out' it says.
