GolfPinFinder Change log version 0.9.6 -> 1.0.0

  1. Added Backup/Sync to main scene, syncs data to cloud at http://www.golfpinfinder.com. Future website enhancements will allow access to this data online. This sync option allows backup in the event of a device replacement and the ability to sync data from the Demo version for use in the Paid app version eliminating the data loss for courses/rounds.
  2. Fixed resume round from Previous Rounds screen, now starts on correct hole
  3. On Saved Courses scene, clicking Update for a course closes the scene. This is done since if a user presses update, followed by Play, cached data is used. This allows the updated data to be used instead
  4. Added version check on load, prompts for update if web service returns a later version than currently installed. Links directly to Palm app catalog download page for app
  5. Cleaned up bug on scoring screen for player 4 header row tap, previous function was undefined.
  6. Launch splash screen added
  7. Cleaned up activityEnd error on playing scene, now correctly stops running activityStart
  8. Added a forward swipe action on playing scene, now brings up the scoring scene (if scoring preference enabled) or advances to next hole. Same as clicking score command icon (pencil icon)
  9. Added a forward swipe action on score entry scene, now saves data and continues to next hole on playing scene
  10. Added GPS error messages for missing error codes in handler function for courses near me, playing scenes
  11. Lowered accuracy and time to first fix on courses near me scene, high gps accuracy not important here

GolfPinFinder Change log version 0.9.4 -> 0.9.6

  1. Changed initial splash screen image so it's no longer cut off for Pixi resolution
  2. Changed the header on the playing scene: a) removed standard header with course name in it (unnecessary) b) added "current hole" to header and removed hole int picker (function als copied to command menu icon of red flag with # sign) c) clicking flag icon launches hole selector d) added score summary for up to 4 players to show score during play (displays after starting the scoring of first played hole). This was done to maximize screen real estate on the playing screen to better accomodate Pixi resolution of 320x400
  3. Added GPS accuracy to lower right corner of "green" image showing front/center/back distances - done to prevent scrolling to bottom of scene to see accuracy
  4. Added "GPS signal is poor" indicator image to upper right corner of playing screen when GPS accuracy is above 20 yards/meters. Accuracy is critical to GolfPinFinder and MANY users complain the distances are off when in fact they have not waited long enough for the GPS to acquire satellite signals

GolfPinFinder Change log version 0.9.2 -> 0.9.3

  1. Fixed bug in saving my club preference values - would set to defaults previously. To test: launch app, save my club values, close app, relaunch and check values were saved
  2. Changed demo validation handling to web service instead of local cookie since cookie is now deleted is app is deleted. Ensures demo cannot be restarted.
  3. Added locale handing to demo validation web service to disable demo period temporarily for countries other than US.
  4. Updated purchase scene with "buy" button launching app catalog to paid app
  5. Added purchase app menu option linking to app catalog paid app listing. This does not work on the emulator as there is no app catalog - test on device.
  6. Updated icon for demo version to distinguish between apps after install.
  7. Changed title in appinfo.json to "GolfPinFinder Demo" to distinguish between apps after install.
  8. Changed vendor in appinfo.json to "AppJammers, LLC"
  9. Added purchase link in help scene per many user requests
  10. Added "GPS Accuracy Poor" image to upper right corner of playing screen when GPS accuracy is less than 20 yards - which renders the info displayed useless. Many users asked about high numbers so this is to help aid users to wait for the GPS to become more accurate
