TeeBee Mar 2020 3:04pm, 19 Mar 2020 5,962 posts	Quote Pin TeeBee So pleased to see this. I intend to log all walking/cycling on this, rather than my Garmin (my Garmin also feeds my coach's site, so I have to keep removing my non-running WSW activity from there). Given this, all I need to be a satisfied Android App user is the functionality: start, stop and the route taken between the two Happy to be a tester. And as for that reviewer, probably knows sod all about software development and has never heard of an mvp.
fetcheveryone Mar 2020 3:25pm, 19 Mar 2020 23,514 posts	Quote Pin fetcheveryone Here's the first flight: fetcheveryone.com/t-17260230 Not a great start, but I sussed out what was happening - it wasn't recording locations whenever the phone screen locked up in my pocket. So what you're seeing on the above, is every time I took it out of my pocket to look. I thought I'd configured the app so that it had permissions to check location whilst the screen was locked, but apparently not. It should be a fairly easy fix though. We were delivering some stuff to my MIL, and combining it with a dog walk. On the way back, to test my theory, I kept nudging the phone screen to keep it awake, and the trace is much better on flight 2: fetcheveryone.com/t-17260280 The route includes several stops, to deal with a couple of dog poos, and to chat to someone Katie knows. The trace is quite wiggly, but not as drastic as I thought it might be. It's never more than a few metres out at any point. Each wiggle tends to add a bit of excess distance (Katie used her Garmin at the same time, and it reported less distance, even though she forgot to stop it when we got home: fetcheveryone.com/training-log-view.php?id=17260563 ). Looking at Katie's trace, the Garmin averages one data point every five seconds, whereas the app is currently one per second. If I reduce the number of data points, this should make the trace look smoother, and also result in less battery and mobile data usage too. There's no pause button with this installment of the app, so that problem gets kicked down the road for now. And in theory, at the end of your activity, the data doesn't get wiped until there's a successful response from the server - so we should avoid the iPhone app problem, where your data is lost if you've got poor connectivity when you try to save. I've got a few relatively minor things to resolve now - so hopefully I can get those knocked off soon. And once they're done, I'll suss out how to get it onto the Google Play store. In theory, I can make it available to a closed test group - so thank you to everyone who has thus far volunteered.
