Tentacle Setup for Android

One problem on an otherwise great product for me. The latest version and previous version (I just updated Jan 14, 2021) will get stuck in a loop because Bluetooth is not on. I have both tentacle types, Bluetooth and the earlier cabled version. There are plenty of reasons I may not want Bluetooth on at any given time, but I would still like to connect to my wired tentacles. Can’t do it because the app keeps demanding you go to settings on your phone. I can’t even close the app, it totally takes over my phone until I hit the Settings button. I don’t want an app to EVER take over control of my phone.

With the recent update, the app crashes every time I try to use it within about 3 seconds of opening it. This added unnecessary stress to a recent production I was on. Hopefully an update will come soon and resolve this. The previous version of the app was flawless.

We’ve been using Tentacle for 2 years with minimal problems. For providing very basic timecode utilities, the apps pack a powerful punch.

The app works great. Would love a notification when tentacle box's battery runs low and when cable got unplugged from camera. Would it be possible ? Would be pretty cool

This system works quite well in conjunction with the official Tentacle Sync Studio software for Android OS. However, I have not been able to get accurate syncs using the audio timecode features in Premiere or Resolve.
