Wuhan Coronavirus Status App for China - Rapid Prototype using MQTT and the IoT OnOff IOS App

Update:
Have noticed that getting the IoT OnOff app (on IOS, I don't have an Android phone) is very difficult for most people, who are not hardish core IT geeks, to connect to an MQTT server.
To set this, I set up another MQTT server without authentication, and could not get IoT OnOff to connect on both server after many tries.
This means that, although I build this app as a public service, it is so difficult for users to get it to work, I did not really accomplish my objective, because of the problems with IoT OnOff, which I have no control over since I am not the developer and I have not found any contact information for the developer except his name (on FB, LinkedIn, email on web site, etc).
To confirm that my MQTT servers are working, I set up Node-RED today, and it connects very easily with both my MQTT servers.
Wuhan Coronavirus Stats for China (from "official" source) using Node-RED:
I like the IoT OnOff app, but most people would consider me in the "uber-IT-guy" or "super-geek" category.
So in the future, unless the connection bugs are worked out in the IoT OnOff app for the iPhone, I will have to find another platform for a rapid-prototype public service app dashboard.
Node-RED might be a candidate (more on Node-Red later), but I will check out some other MQTT visualization dashboard for the web beforehand.
