The best Android hardware info app! Thanks to the author!

works like charm, free and doesn't show any ads.

This version gives me quite a bit of information. However, my device has a round screen (I know.. I'm the exception BY FAR), so I can't quite get to all of the tools. However, it does pretty much what it says it will do. Does the PRO version allow api endpoints? I have a web service on my local network that I would like to use to fetch this kind of information about all my android devices, and catalog them. Is that something the PRO can do?
