Two android phones, both with the fly app installed.
Test 1) both phones connected to the internet and both with the Fly app up and running but neither connected to a controller.
Result, logging out of the app on one logs the app out on the other phone, almost immediately.
Test 1a ) both phones connected to the internet and both with the Fly app up and running but with one phone connected to a controller and a flying drone.
Result 1a) logging out of the unconnected phone quickly logged the 'flying' app out too. I was mildly surprised by this. This was an indoor flight so I could not check whether or not the log out brought range and height restrictions into play.
Test 2) both phones with up and running Fly apps but wifi switched off on phone 2.
Result 2) logging out of the app on phone 1 did nothing to the app on phone 2, this was what I expected.
Test 3) phone one, wifi on and app up and running. Phone 2 wifi intitally off and the app up and running. Logged out on phone 1 to repeat test 2, as expected no effect on phone 2.
I then closed the app on phone 2 and switched on the phone's wifi, 30 seconds later I switched the wifi off again and booted the app. The latter was the real focus of the experiment.
Result 3) when the app booted it was logged out.
Test 3) leads me to believe that simply connecting the screen device to the internet within the 90day automated log out period might well prevent the time-out log out.
