Ratings and Reviews
Great app but can be better
Hi, I think the app is simple and great. One thing I noticed today was that the volume up was adding extra times in, which I wasn't expecting. I was actually trying to increase the volume so I could hear the beep louder. This caused the results to get messed up. It would be great if we could hold down and delete an accidental time with a confirmation. That would allow us to quickly fix errors as they happen and provide more accurate timings.
No longer vibrates when barcode scanning
I've just done barcode scanning for the first time in a few weeks. I think the last time I used the app it was version 2.0.11 I used 2.1.0 today. The first thing I noticed was that the phone no longer vibrated whenever a barcode was successfully scanned. The lack of feedback made the job very difficult. I took my phone off silent, at which point a quiet ping was just about heard on every successful scan.
On the plus side I noticed that it scanned barcodes more accurately and the green boxes shown round barcodes when they'd been identified as such helped - except such box was also shown for a barcode that hadn't scanned correctly - so I initially thought it had. Luckily I noticed the problem in time.
I see my vibrate issue was probably caused by the "Haptic feedback" improvement made in 2.0.12. If I switch on System Haptics in Settings > Sounds & Haptics then phone does a little vibrate when a barcode is successfully scanned.
The only problem with this is that I don't want system haptics switched on for my day-to-day phone use.
So could the app again vibrate on successful barcode scan when the phone's set to silent please.
This is on iPhone 13 mini, iOS 17.5.1
IOS 15 issues
I have an iPhone 11 pro and use the volunteer app without a problem. When timekeeping I start the run and then close the iPhone to prevent mistakes. As the runners finish I open the iPhone and open the app and I use the volume button to record the individual times. I have now updated to IOS 15 and today I was unable to use the app in the usual way. The volume button couldn’t be used to record the times, I was only able to use the touchscreen to input the time. Has anyone else experienced the same issue?
