Users of j901 for iOS, please read: https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Guides/iOS
which outlines what the app can do and how to make it do it. See also: https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/User:Ian_Clark/iOS/Review_Notes …a more extensive discussion, intended to introduce the app to the App Store reviewers. By accident it got linked from its App Store shop-window, which I concluded was no bad thing.
