What is the status of the most recent Android App update?

• Download the Vessel App from the Google Play Store. 
• Get ready to test first thing in the morning.
• Chat with one of our nutritional coaches for FREE right from the app Monday-Friday 8am-5pm Pacific Time. They can help answer any questions you have and build a plan customized to your results.

**If you downloaded our earliest Android App you will need to delete both apps and re-install the most recent version.

6/15/2021 Update

If you downloaded our earliest Android App you will need to delete both apps and re-install the most recent version.

The following steps should only take a few moments:

• Delete both Vessel apps from your Android device.
• Download the Vessel App from the Google Play Store.
• Enjoy the newest features available on the updated App.

This will ensure a smooth testing experience by avoiding use of the previous Vessel Android app that is not updated. All existing data will still be fully available in the new current app once downloaded.

6/8/2021 Update

We have officially launched our Android App for Samsung Galaxy S Models. 

If you have the S9, S10,S20 or S21 Android Device:

• Download the Vessel App from the Google Play Store. 
• Get ready to test first thing in the morning.
• Chat with one of our nutritional coaches for FREE right from the app Monday-Friday 8am-5pm Pacific Time.  They can help answer any questions you have and build a plan customized to your results.

If you have an Android Device other than the above S models:

Our work here is not done!  The Note Series and Pixel Series are up next for launch and we will keep you updated on our progress here so be sure to check back again.

We are grateful for your continued support and patience and will continue to work hard to launch additional Android Devices.

4/30/21 Update

Progress is being made in both testing accuracy and image capture for Android devices. We are currently focused on improving image capture and color variation differences across android devices and algorithms associated with testing accuracy.

Current Progress

• Work is ongoing with vignetting and color transform algorithms to improve accuracy for specific Android devices.
• We've found success with our most recent look at the production data display improvements which now allows us to move forward with extensive testing aimed at improving the accuracy of our Android App.
• We've seen a 50% increase in accuracy and will be looking to duplicate this effort before final release.

We will continue to share our progress along the way. If you have not yet requested to have your membership put on pause while waiting for your Android Model to be released you can do so be clicking here.

3/25/21 Update

We are currently working to get an accurate Android app out to our members. 

This is a top priority for our Product team and over the past couple weeks we've been working on the following:

• Improving our calibration process and tweaking it to be more consistent and accurate for Android (and all devices).
• Performing experiments and gathering extensive data on a variety of Android devices to test performance and identify areas of improvement.
• Improving our fiducial detection and auto cropping processing on all images processed through our algorithms.

Once these changes are implemented, we are cautiously optimistic Samsung S lines will be ready to go. We’ll report back after calibration improvements are made and tested. As soon as this is complete we can continue our efforts to expand support for additional Android devices.

If you would like to have your membership placed on hold while we work through these updates please click here.  We will un-pause your membership  and email you as soon as your Android Device has been approved for use.

Keep checking back here to see the progress we make. We are fully committed to being transparent about the process and keeping our members informed of any updates and expected resolution dates. Thank you for your patience and continued support.

3/4/21 Update

We officially launched the Android App in January 2021 and are actively working through reported bugs to enhance the member experience and testing accuracy.

We are expecting to have the S9, S20 and S10 models ready for deployment by March 9th.   

This is a top priority for our Product team and in just the past week we've made the following updates to the Android app:

• In order to efficiently give accessibility to our Android app, most of our work has been focused on the Android devices used by the majority of our user base. At the top of list is the Samsung Galaxy S line.
• The S9, S10 and S20 are very close to being complete.  We are aligning fiducial for all three devices.

  This work includes:

        - Correcting the black and white levels that are hard coded into the raw camera images

        - Ensuring images are displaying RGB values correctly

       - Calibrating color correction to optimize accurate results when passed through our algorithms

Once these changes are implemented, we will continue to run tests and make improvements to the Samsung Note and Google Pixel devices. Once complete, work will continue to expand support for additional Android devices.

Keep checking back here to see the list of enhancements grow as we make progress. We are fully committed to being transparent about the process and keeping our users informed of any updates and expected resolution dates. Thank you for your continued support.

2/12/21 Update

We officially launched the Android App in January 2021 and are actively working through reported bugs to enhance the member experience and testing accuracy.   

This is a top priority for our Product team and in just the past week we've made significant updates to the Android implementation:

• Our team has corrected levels that are hardcoded into the camera image which results in images displaying values correctly and giving members accurate results.
• We're running calibrations on multiple Android models to identify the differences so we can expand the list of supported Android devices.

Android development will be an ongoing process here at Vessel and we are dedicated to making improvements consistently so our members can have the best possible testing experience.  We expect to have the Android App up to speed in the next two weeks (By February 28th).

Keep checking back here to see the list of enhancements grow as we make progress.

We are really committed to being transparent about the process and keeping you informed of any updates and expected resolution dates.  Thank you for your continued support!

• We’ve run a number of calibrations on Samsung Galaxy devices and have been correcting levels that are hardcoded into the devices camera sensors. These changes to our algorithms have resulted in improvements to the accuracy of our readings.

  This work includes:

        - Correcting the black and white levels that are hard coded into the raw camera images

        - Ensuring images are displaying RGB values correctly

       - Calibrating color correction to optimize accurate results when passed through our algorithms

We’re finalizing these adjustments and we will start by releasing a fix for specific Samsung Galaxy S models. We expect to push an update for the Galaxy S line next week . Then, once these changes are implemented, we will continue to run tests and make improvements to the Samsung Note and Google Pixel devices. Once complete, work will continue to expand support for additional Android devices.
