That sounds absolutely insane. I would have never guessed that's its more than clicking a button to upload to their server. Its even crazier when your think of all the hosting AWS does for this planet, how in the world are that useless in their app store.

version 1.0.1447 (beta)
- fix interacting with HTML tiles when in full screen (click, zoom, etc)
- change how app determines if speaker or musicplayer device is 'on' (status=playing)
- show more images in image picker when in landscape
- use device-specific icon in folder's 'all on' or 'all off' toggle prompt
A couple of minor changes.. the bigger ones being you can now interact with HTML tiles when in fullscreen (I noticed that bug a while ago but forgot about it).
The other one is pretty minor (and maybe most don't even know about) but if you press and hold a folder tile and the folder contains multiple devices of the same type (ie: lights, locks, switches) - you'll get a prompt to turn all of the devices in the folder on or off. I think this was something requested a while back. Anyway, I was using a generic switch icon before and now it'll be an icon for the devices you're toggling

Your so called minor update is pretty huge Joe. Time to update and adjust my dashboards, absolutely love the idea of turning off a folder full of stuff with 1 click.
Not sure if is something that you covered before but after I get some custom icons from iconsdb, is it possible to load them into the hub so they are available to all my dashboards?
Thanks for the update on the speakers. I moved them back into their rooms.
I have a folder "Other" of devices I'm not using (or testing). That folder always shows one device as on/active. It has a couple smart outlets that are off, a motion sensor that is inactive, and my phone which is shown as not present. Holding on the Folder and choosing All Off doesn't change it. What do you suspect is keeping that folder "On"?
Edit: It's the Smart Phone "Not Present" keeping it on. Removed it from the folder and it doesn't indicate anything active any more.
Also, I have swiped back (out of habit) probably dozens times expecting to back out of a folder. It doesn't work and of course I then reach up to the Folder "Go back" button. Would it be difficult to recognize Android gestures?
The app just saves the URL to the image and then caches all images so it doesn't have to download them again (at least not for a while). Anyway, the cache isn't something that's easy to access or export outside of the device. That said, if you save the dashboard config to the hub and restore it on another device - the custom icons should all be there. Let me know if that's not the case though
Hmm.. long-pressing on a folder that has multiple device types like this shouldn't even show the 'all on' / 'all off' prompt at all. It's only supposed to show when the folder has all the same device types in it.
lol.. that's not very useful 
I'll fix on the next go around...
No worries, but also, should the "Not Present" be indicated as Active or On in a folder? Doesn't seem intuitive to me.
I reset my phone to factory. I reloaded the app but I have lost Cloud access to my dashboard. Do I have to create a new access token?
Maybe it depends on how you look at it.. I was thinking being away was something I wanted to be alerted to - like leaving a light on or a a door open.

The app fetches the cloud token when you login. It should also be saved in the config file if you restore from a backup. You can also fetch it anytime from the nav -> more settings -> cloud mode dialog (click on 'fetch token')
Does that help?

I see. I don't use the gesture navigation on my S20 but I tested it and the nav drawer opens when I swipe from left to right.. is that what you're getting too? I'm not sure how I can change that though.. maybe that's 1 reason Android apps are moving away from the nav drawer in general (though I personally like it because it doesn't take up any space)
I have a Note 10+
I only use gestures. Nothing happens when I swipe left inside a folder (right brings out the menu).
Actually, just realized that swiping left TWICE works. Not sure what the first swipe is doing. If I enter a folder, first swipe doesn't do anything, second swipe exits the folder.
I just found this app and it looks great however I'm having trouble getting the login process to work. My hub is setup to use SSL with my personal Certificate Authority which is trusted on my devices however while I'm able to get to the hubitat dashboards, etc. just fine (on ip and dns name), the app prompts with the following:

Looks like you haven't got maker API installed? You need to add the built in app maker API then add your devices to it.
It is installed.
I tried the login through the manual entry and discover hub options but both fail.
Thanks for the log snippet and like you suspect it's the SSL certificate not being 'trusted' by the app
java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: Trust anchor for certification path not found
If you installed your custom SSL cert on your device then this post might solve the issue. I can make this change but I'd need help testing to verify it works.. if you're interested let me know and I'll send you a local build of the app which has it enabled
I spent a little time yesterday using the swipe gestures on my S20. At least with Samsung's implementation I noticed you can also swipe left from the right edge of the screen to go 'back' as well.
I'm also thinking I can change 1 thing to make this better. When the nav drawer is open and in a folder, a 'back' swipe/key could navigate to the main folder instead of exit the app. That way, even if a left-to-right swipe opens the nav drawer, another left-to-right swipe would still go back 1 folder
