The app uses the collective power of mobile phones to fast track Covid-19 and cancer research. DreamLab harnesses the processing power of mobile devices to examine health data and find more effective combinations of drugs that can be tailored to patients to improve treatments and save lives. Users can choose which project to support and select how much mobile data the app uses every month. The app can be used when the device is connected to a charging source and has mobile network or WiFi connectivity.

Software Reviews and Criticism

    One issue on OLED iPhones

    I like how DreamLab allows people to donate their spare processing power to scientific research, but leaving the display on poses an issue with OLED devices. A static DreamLab logo will permanently burn its way into the display within two years, and it’s because of this that I don’t feel comfortable using the app on my new phone. I’m hoping there can be an option to turn the logo off so the screen can be completely dark. I’d love to use my new device with its increased power and efficiency compared to my older devices, but not at the expense of the screen’s longevity. Until then, my older LCD devices will continue to do work.

    Great app, zero communication

    The app is terrific! However, I have tried contacting them via their Feedback email system and I get no reply. I have tried to locate a human to ask some questions and OFFER my support and resources and there is nobody associated with this app. There is no community or forums. No phone number (and this is funded by a phone company!!!). No twitter or other social media account. Very sad. They took the time to build this system and tens of thousands of us are giving them free cpu resources and they cannot even be bothered to communicate when people reach out to offer ideas and support.

    Amazing App

    I heard about this app about a year ago from an article and at first I was a bit skeptical. I was wondering: "this sounds too good to be true. An application that anyone could download and use and could help potentially find lifesaving cures?" But over time I have done some research and it's true!!! This app really can help find potentially lifesaving cures. I recommend this application. Almost no interaction is needed for the application to keep working. I have 2 questions for the developer. I have seen that recently, this app takes up over a gigabyte of storage. Is this normal? If not, what can I do? Also, I've heard that closing any unused applications could make the device run faster. If I closed all of my unused applications before clicking the "start session" button, would my phone be able to make more calculations?

    Interesting App

    I’ve had several PCs running distributed computing programs for years and was glad to see one come out for iPhone. As far as I know is this is the only one. I would like to see a setting added that would automatically start the app running when it is put on charge during a time period (such as 10pm to 6am). I tend to collect old electronics and now have 4 iPhones that just run this app24/7. Would like a setting to disable the sleep screen coming on so these phones constantly show their progress.
