Tabs is a simple and affordable way to keep track of the things that matter the most to you. It uses an entirely new wireless network built specifically for this purpose – The People’s Network.
App has stopped working
App no longer loads
Stopped working with iOS 16
App stopped working after updating to iOS 16. Was slow and sluggish before that.
Needs update ASAP
App still runs very slow. Needs bug fixes. Please add back the ability to force the tabs to transmit more frequently. Needs to show the speed, heading, elevation, and lat/long of each tab. Show distance/heading from tab to users on a tracking/compass view. Show distance from tabs to the hotspot that received the signal. Add option to open tabs location in maps app to navigate to tabs position. Also needs a geo fence option to send the user a notification if the tabs leave a selected area.
Disappointing
The app is fairly worthless. There are no settings to speak of. Features described in the helium tabs document Sheehan’s instructions are non existent. Someone please update this app. And make it useful.
Nearly unusable over the past month or two
Currently running the app on multiple iPhones and it takes minutes to launch and as soon as I try to go to individual settings the app returns to the spinning wheel of progress, never to resolve. Same behavior on every iPhone do it appears related to how the app is interacting with the iOS.
Helium Tabs Apparently No Longer Available
Which is fine, and this review is more a warning to potential future downloaders to save them the time, space, and data on their phone and the half an hour going down the rabbit hole of the helium website / Dev documentation to realize you can use plenty of trackers with Helium, but none of them are helium tabs, and cannot be used with the helium tabs app. I have learned, as far as I can gather, that they were once available directly from Helium, but they no longer are, and it is speculated they never will be again. Whether or not they will be available in the future; this app is 100% useless without Helium tabs. Unless you purchase one second hand, or already have them, then this app is not for you, and the link to the store that it directs you to “if you don’t already have one” is simply a link to their store which does Not have any tabs in it (see above). So again, I have no knowledge of the rest of the app, and I trust it may work very well, but as far as the pages I was able to access and the info on the page that I was sent to from the store button (or, more accurately, the lack of updates pertaining to the lack of tabs) - I wasn’t super impressed.
Love my tabs. App needs work
