  1. When i try to download it, it says it incompatible with my Galaxy s but its in the list above that says it works. Only one of the statements is right—which one?

  2. The app does not work on Asus Transformer tablet.
    I have SC-55, it did not detect it so I plugged in the IP address
    It would not connect and it hung up. I tried to resintall it several times
    Really disappointed
