The Home Screen
Using the Meili App
The Home Screen shows you all your Meilis in one place. For each Meili you can see its location; its battery status and the date and time it last sent a location update. Dragging down on the Home Screen will update all your Meilis, usefull if your phone doesn't have a great mobile signal.
At the bottom of the screen you have options to view the map; activate sharing sessions. See notifications and access an extended menu.

Clicking on the Menu button at the bottom right of the Home Screen takes you to the main Menu. From here you can manage every aspect of your Meili system.

Configuring your Meili
Using the Meili App
From the Home Screen swipe left on a Meili and click the gear icon to configure it.
From here you can choose the update Frequency. Power Save is once an hour; Balanced is 3 mins and More Accurate is 60 seconds.
The higher the update frequency the lower the battery life. Balanced should give you a week of battery life with normal use so unless you need really fast updates, say for example when you're skiing, its best to leave it in balanced.
Creating Groups
Using the Meili App
If you have more than a few Meilis and want to group them together so the groups make more sense you can click on the Groups button in the Home Screen.
