Re: iPhone App Released - FRC Tracker
 

Hey Tom

Cool program, put it on my iphone. Whats I like too is I saw in another thread how someone was talking about teams being always red or blue in quals, and your FRC tracker made it real easy to see a team like 148 basically being red, then blue, then red, then blue for the whole qual tourney.

Keep the cool apps coming....

Version 1.0.1 was finally approved by Apple today and is now available on the iTunes App Store. In addition to fixing the Twitter update bug, there are a few enhancements:

• Show team name and rookie year in team list.
• Team name and sponsors viewable from the team detail view.
• Match list improved, especially when viewing matches of a specific team.
• Tapping on a team in an event's team list takes you to the team detail view instead of straight to the match list, making it easier to see what other regionals a team attended.

I've been busy working on the next version while waiting for 1.0.1 to be approved. I'm nearly done with version 1.1 which adds more stuff, including support for the Championship. I expect to submit it tomorrow in hopes of getting it approved by the start of the Championship event.

just my luck, I get the update and twitter is down for maintenance. :yikes:

Re: iPhone App Released - FRC Tracker
 

This app is AMAZING. I love this thing.

Helps a lot with a couple of my personal projects, too.

Re: iPhone App Released - FRC Tracker
 

This is an amazing application that my mom used to follow the 10,000 lakes regional this week. She loves it.

Is there any way it can get bot pictures from TBA?

Re: iPhone App Released - FRC Tracker
 

Can I just say that this is officially my new favorite app on the iPod touch. SOOOOO useful! And it will probably be an excellent scouting tool for Atlanta. It is great how you can see previous match records. I think the updates your planning will make the app even more useful! Love it!

Re: iPhone App Released - FRC Tracker
 

Thanks for the nice comments. Hopefully with the annoying Twitter update problem fixed, it will starting getting more positive reviews on iTunes.

I definitely want to do that, but it won't make it into version 1.1, so probably not before the Championship.

Re: iPhone App Released - FRC Tracker
 

I submitted version 1.1 this morning.

This version will have a complete database all the way through the end of week six, including merging together the match results from Twitter (which include the scoring details, but aren't always the final results for a match) and the official results from FIRST's web pages (which are official, but don't include the scoring details).

I haven't added in the information about the divisions at the Championship, but 1.1 has a mechanism that will let users download event info updates without having to go through a new release through Apple and iTunes.

Hopefully everything will work for the Championship, but there's no way to test it in advance as the division web pages aren't up yet. Everyone cross your fingers!

Re: iPhone App Released - FRC Tracker
 

Just updated to the newest version. I like the fact that it updates much better now, not failing as often. Can't wait for the big version 1.1 update, keep em coming. :D

Re: iPhone App Released - FRC Tracker
 

just got my iphone yesterday and downloaded the app today so hopefully with any luck I'll be able to keep on top of the champs while sitting next to the practice fields in the pits lol.

Re: iPhone App Released - FRC Tracker
 

I downloaded it to my iTouch last night and really like the app. Will you update with divisions when they're announced?

Re: iPhone App Released - FRC Tracker
 

Version 1.0.1 has a fixed list of events, but version 1.1 has an update mechanism that will let you add the Championship divisions via a download from within FRC Tracker. I've been testing it today with the team lists derived from the Championship team list, and it works great.

So, as long as Apple approves 1.1 in time, we'll be in good shape.

Re: iPhone App Released - FRC Tracker
 

Version 1.1 is now available on the App Store! There are more details and hints on the FRC Tracker web page.

Be sure to go to the Tools tab and hit the "Now" button next "Update Event Info" to get the event update that will bring in all the regional event results and add the Championship division events.

The live match results still come in through the Twitter feed, but also do the Event Info Update between days to get the official match result data merged into the Twitter results.

I'll be tracking the Championship as much as possible and processing data from FIRST's web site for the Event Info updates. I'll post to the frctracker twitter feed with any important news as the competition progresses.

Send me feedback on any issues and I'll post a final version after the Championship is done.

Re: iPhone App Released - FRC Tracker
