2.1.1
2022-03-08
Fixed issues related to defects in how completion and starting of periods was being handled (thanks to user who noted the problems and sent me a request).
2.1.0
2022-02-08
App now allows new mode to follow the timing tables timer, if they set "Allow others to follow timer" and give you the 4 digit follow code, you can configure your app to "Follow another timer" and as they start and stop the timer, record scores, add penalty timers, this is reflected on your app. a
Caution: Do NOT bother the timing table about anything you see in your app, they are busy, this capability is intended to allow coaches to more easily see status from the timing table without interrupting them, or given a good enough signal (dependent upon iPone versions and local conditions) allow spectators to follow timing.
The new companion WatchOS app is intended to allow referees to have a backup timer for things like clearing timers and shot clocks on their wrists. From the app they may configure the two timers with duration, warning indications and name.
In addition, the 'Game Info' screen reflects the timing from the iPhone app, allowing them to see the state of the game info e.g. to 'follow' the timing table and therefore get a quick idea of the state of things or in extreme circumstances run the game timer from their own phone (not recommended).
As this does involve networking, there is some additional drain on the battery as the devices must send out signals with the changes, some discrepancy in the timing on remote devices may occur as signals take time to be interpreted and are sometimes lost.
2.0.2
2021-06-18
As some users were having unintentional rotation into the new landscape mode on some devices (the phone switching orientations when they did not need it), I have added a setting that enables/disables this capability, found in the configuration screen and defaulted to disabled. This seems a friendlier solution than asking them to lock the orientation of the phone.
