Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

This miniature data-logger, called a microCache, is able to collect data from many of Apogee Instrument's analog sensors. This is not for interfacing with Apogee USB sensors. For USB sensor software, see Apogee's Software Downloads: https://www.apogeeinstruments.com/downloads/ Supported Sensors: Quantum sensors: SQ-110, SQ-120, SQ-500 Extended Quantum sensors. SQ-620, SQ-640 Pyranometers: SP-110, SP-510, SP-610 Albedometer: SP-700 Red Far-Red sensor: S2-131 PAR-FAR sensor S2-141

Apogee Connect APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Apogee Connect APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 67357483973d8b1bde6d1b2488984aaf.
