Isn't this moving away from the open source concept? One of the things I like about the Apex is that a reefer wrote an app, and it's always improving with requested updates.

You're always going to be free to write your own apps or unregistered apps at your own risk.

Posting via android? Now imagine it was a dosing pump that jams instead of a post button.

No, posting via Lenovo laptop And I don't use dosing pumps, so it's all good -lol
But, I've never had any issues with my Android phone that I haven't induced myself, so I'd be confident in using it as a controller interface.

Just a follow up, I bought the Apex with an additional powerbar, and so far I'm really happy with it. From opening the box to logging into the web interface via browser took about 10 minutes. Simple devices are easily manageable thru the web interface, and adding your own Advanced settings statements seems pretty straight forward.
Down side is I have to move all my ballasts to the other side of the stand so they can reach

I'm not even sure what Android is, but I don't see it as a problem either.
