Display slow to update

So, Pokit has arrived and seems to work OK.  I'm using my phone with it, which is a Samsung S7 Edge.

It connects OK, but in "Voltage DC" mode, it is responsive for the first few seconds then it seems to freeze.  I get no large numbers on the screen indicating the measured voltage, just the background.  Then, after maybe 4-5 seconds, it seems to recover again.  Then, after a few more seconds of steady updates, it freezes again.

I accept that the readings may be slower than a standard multimeter to save the battery - perhaps just one or two per second - and I could live with that (although it would be nice if the refresh rate was configurable).  What I don't understand (and don't like from a usability perspective) is why the updates seem to stutter.

Is this normal / expected and is there a fix?

Thanks,

R.

  Hi @Ingo, thanks for the feedback. I'll try it with my Android tablet and see it works better there...
