Default Apex & phones

Does the Apex interact with an iPhone the same as an android?

Can I program it with my Apple computer or should I use my Acer laptop with windows 7 and if I do can I then use the iphone.

My contract expires in a few months, so can go either was, iPhone or Samsung 4. This is not about phones. I prefer my iPhone and want a new 5s but keeping track of my tank is more important than phone brands.

Thanks

I've got a regular iPhone 4 right now as well. It's a beauty with the Apex. I do everything with my phone. Especially handy when doing water changes and you're able to shut all your necessary equipment off in about 5 seconds without sorting through plugs lol. I also run an iMac and all of the software with the Apex was compatible with my computer right out of the box.

I also am about to upgrade to the iPhone 5s. I was leaning to the S 4, but I run apple everything, and the compatibility is just easier if I stick with the iPhone line.

HTH!

Would I have to upload direct to a Samsung 5 from Apex, which is currently on my iMac.

Or load it on a windows based system first?

Or could it be on an iPad and a Samsung phone?

If you use Fusion, you don't need the app and you don't need to upload or download anything to the phone. It's all web based and through your browser and doesn't matter what you have. Also, from what I read, as I have only had my Apex since Fusion was out, that it's much easier to configure email and txt alerts (which it was with Fusion).

Thanks. I think I use Fusion as mine is new.
