# Using Bumper with the official Android/iOS App 

Bumper *can* be used with the official "Ecovacs" or "Ecovacs Home" app, but with limitations. Your phone needs to use your DNS server with custom settings, and you ***must*** import Bumper's CA cert and trust it before the app will work.

**Steps**

1. Configure your DNS server as described above in the [DNS](DNS_Setup.md) doc
2. [Import the Bumper CA Cert](#import-the-bumper-ca-cert)
