Only me having “major” problems with the latest Android app and Dashboards? First of all it’s slow (much slower than the previous version), but having it running 24/7 on a tablet kills the app eventually. Not literally, but after a while, it takes so long to reload the widgets, so it’s completely useless. ---

So do you wish all the apps on your phone had identical icons and the only distinguishing factor was the text below them? Would you or anyone buy a phone like that? No, because it is a flawed design that should be changed. ---

Anybody figured out how to change that? (I know that you can get other timeframes by clicking on the widget, but thats not what I want) ---

That’s only for current power. For other time frames you can use the insights chart. ---

Well, for me a phone serves a completely different purpose as a dashboard, so it’s a comparison that doesn’t make sense to me. You are focusing on one particular item and not looking beyond that which makes the comparison flawed in my opinion. If I want to add the possibility to start flows from my dashboard I’d probably create a Virtual Device for it, slapped on my desired icon and be happy with it. ---

I never leave my couch or bed to use my tablet to start flows (I can start flows by voice through google mini’s e.g. television or radio or my I go to sleep flow) but I use them to monitor devices or see snapshots if some one rings the bell (Ring) or enter my garden (Eufy cameras) ---

Because two things don’t serve identical purposes you can’t comprehend a comparison regarding similar aspects? So if I said something like “Homey’s app is slow, I wish it would load fast, like Facebook’s app” you would not understand? They serve different purposes so does not compute? ---

Hi, Dashboard is a great tool for my Homey. It works fine with my android devices. But because I work every day with a Windows computer, I’d like to see my dashboard in my browser. And actually [My Homey](https://my.homey.app/homeys/)… do not allow this Is there a way to see an html version of my browser? I found a way (which is rather loud), I emulate an android device within my computer (with Blue stacks) ; it works but it crash a lot. Thanks for your help. ---

There’s no way to use a browser (yet?) to show the dashboard. An emulator is still needed to run the Homey app. I can recommend > [@Homey dashboard op je laptop](https://community.homey.app/t/homey-dashboard-op-je-laptop/122912/5): > > Android Studio > [https://developer.android.com/studio](https://developer.android.com/studio) ---

> [@Peter\_Bittner](#): > > here was a software update today which impacted Dashboard. I used to get two columns of widgets on a iPad in portrait mode. After the latest update I only get one. This has made portrait mode pretty much useless. No one commented on this issue so I assume no one else experienced it. I have worked out what happened here - I still think it was due to a software update. Because I have poor eyesight I have to set my tablet to have increased text size. I did previously reduce the text size back to small to test if that was the cause, but when I went back to the Dashboard I still only had one column. What I found is that I have to reduce the text size and then exit the dashboard. Then when I come back to it I get two columns. I can then increase the text size and keep getting two columns. Still, in an ad-hoc manner the display will go back to one column on occasion. At least I now know how to fix the issue. ---

Oké, that is possible. I had my browser with Dutch translation and I had write it in Dutch. Hmm, sorry, that’s not nice to do. But I think that is it. A pity that a moderator is nog telling it. But for you, thank you. ---
