Description of BOINC

NOTE: We recommend using a newer version of BOINC (7.16.16), available from the BOINC web site.
Use your phone or tablet to study diseases, predict global warming, or discover pulsars!
BOINC harnesses the unused computing power of your Android device and runs jobs for scientific research projects.
You can choose from projects in several areas of science, including Yoyo@Home, World Community Grid, PrimeGrid, Enigma@Home, OProject@Home, theSkyNet POGS, Asteroids@Home, and Einstein@Home.
BOINC computes only when your device is plugged in and charged, so it won't run down your battery.
It transfers data over WiFi, so it won't use up your cell phone plan's data limit.

What's New with BOINC 7.4.53

New to 7.4.53:
* Add support for new processor types.
* Update support libraries.

    I didn't have any issues with using it with SETI@home, but now that they're done I'm removing it. I'll add it back when/if I find something worthy.

    Why no support for Android? Needs UI redesign desperately. Also the ability to simultaneously do more than two tasks would be nice. Newer versions of the app are available in apkmirror but not here hmmm ok. Loss of progress when an incoming call is received for some reason so processing power is also lost why! Estimated time of completion would be nice to know

    I am willing to help put computational power to a good use like this. I am currently running 3 separate devices for BOINC, two of them old devices and one of them my own phone. But I would like to see issues solved which would help accelerate computation. When I change the min. battery limit to 70% and the old phone was charged 96%, BOINC said "Computation will resume when battery reaches 70%, Currently 96%". Please fix this bug. Also, I would like to see availablity of BOINC on iOS and iPadOS.

    Works fine on a PC but sucks beyond repair on a new android phone. Nothing but errors on a S20+ but yet worked fine on a much older S4.

    All it does is try to connect to a project server and never succeeds

    This is out of date. Google play has only 7.4.53. Get the real version, 7.16.3 from the Boinc website. Google for "download boinc all versions" and scroll to the bottom for android. That one actually works. Google play as usual is way behind.
