Superb app, I start the app when I go to bed and put my phone on charge. Its helping find cures whilst I sleep using my wifi, how can this not be anything but a good thing!

I could only imagine how much better this would be if you partnered with xbox or playstation so we could download the dreamlab app onto consoles and calculate these much faster

We should be able to see how much percent is done/left of a particular calculation since some of them take a while. Also to see how many people are powering a specifc project at the same time as us when charging. + Beta Request, Perhaps could trial in a Google Playstore beta ring programme?

Covid calculations suck too much cpu and sometimes cause my phone to overheat. I wonder if they are planning to add more stages cos it is going to take a few years to complete the current one.

3 years on my phone. Absolutely no impact on my account. Helping research projects for public good in the background. Migrated to new phone seamlessly.

When you're not using your phone, and it's charging, you can do some good. Simple to use.

Nikolaus Maack

Great to be able to contribute to research while asleep.

Andrew Hills

Like to think I'm doing a little to help in the fight against Covid 19. Got it installed on both my phones. No issues regarding overheating whatsoever. Program has started to deselect my chosen project on occasion and so I have to reselect it, hence a drop of 1 star.

It is an app that helps people! It is a great app!!
