Updates for Gas Engineer Software – April 2021

The big news for Gas Engineer Software this month is that we’ve just rolled out our massive Android update, which includes a total workflow overhaul and the integration with Anton Flue Gas Analysers, to 100% of users!

You should all now have access to the update via the Google Play Store, or your device may have already downloaded it automatically. I want to say thank you to everyone who provided feedback and helped us get to this point – we hope you all enjoy the end result!

We also took the opportunity over the bank holiday weekend to make some changes to the infrastructure of the software, laying the groundwork for an upcoming security update.

This update, when it’s introduced, will allow us to will speed up the syncing, increase security, reduce the load on the database servers and also allow you to log in with Google and Apple accounts – so keep your eyes peeled for more updates as we progress!
