Still waiting for a reason to develop software for a phone that only you, Paul, and maybe 8 other people have...

Re: FRC Spyder 2013
 

Didn't Spyder used to give you a message when one of your "Favorite" teams posted a score?

Also, (sorry if I'm way off base for feature requests) it would be cool if you view an event, and then look at the teams...and then you see a team you want to follow to click them to see their match schedule and then be able to press the "Menu" button and have the option to "Add To Favorites"...

Sorry if this has been requested before or discussed...

Re: FRC Spyder 2013
 

You have to set them for scoring notifications instead of just "favorite".

Re: FRC Spyder 2013
 

In favorites, you can select for notifications as well. Hold down on the team, and it will ask if you want score notifications.

Re: FRC Spyder 2013
 

If you're on an iOS device, find the team you're interested in from Teams in the main menu, tap on the team, then tap on the Menu button and choose "Receive Live Updates".
Agreed. I was already planning to add this to the next version.

Re: FRC Spyder 2013
 

Is anyone having trouble getting the app to update the match results? I get an error message that says "Network error. Verify coverage & try again in a few minutes. Use WiFi if possible".

The shipment of Nexus 4s got stuck in a snow drift/road construction/maple syrup/moose stampede/tragic collision with a Tim Horton's coffee truck/hockey accident/etc...

I think I covered them all.

Re: FRC Spyder 2013
 

As always, FRC Spyder is my go-to app during competition season. Thanks for the update; it works well (Android).

Re: FRC Spyder 2013
 

Apparently it's fairly trivial to port Android apps over to BB10. They both use similar Java frameworks.

And according to what I've heard from the people who've gotten evaluation phones, it's actually not a bad OS.

Re: FRC Spyder 2013
 

Is there going to be one coming out for windows phones???

Re: FRC Spyder 2013
 

No, sorry.

Doing a Windows Phone version would mean rewriting the app from scratch again (since none of the code from the Android or iOS versions would be reusable) and to be honest we just barely have enough time to keep the existing versions updated each year. Plus, none of us involved use or have interest in Windows Phone.

Maybe someday the mobile app landscape will be such that it doesn't require apps to be rewritten 4 times to support everything (iOS, Android, Blackberry and Windows Phone). Until then, don't be surprised to see developers targeting the one or two most popular platforms and ignoring the rest.

Re: FRC Spyder 2013
 

Traverse City doesn't seem to be refreshing I don't know if that is problem you can fix or it is just my phone.

Re: FRC Spyder 2013
 

Trivial != no effort. As Dave said, we're all way too busy with work, VEX, and family to dedicate much time to this. Plus we don't have any devices to test on.

I got to play with Karthik's new BB a few weeks ago and I agree, the OS looks good. Not good enough to save the company IMHO, but good :)

Re: FRC Spyder 2013
 

Well on my Caso G'Zone Commando that's been dropped off buildings and had a brush with acid it works wonderful. I was able to keep up to speed on my team's progress at Palmetto while working Friday and working with FTC on Saturday.

Thanks. No complaints about it.

Re: FRC Spyder 2013
 

A bug: Using Motorola Razr Maxx, over Verizon network.
Any match result with a score over 100 (i.e. three digits long) just shows the first two digits.

Still a fantastic app, still goes in first place on my home page, we are all still mightily indebted to you.

Any thought to add a contribute button, for those of us able and willing to help you/a favorite charity?
