We don't consider this an easter egg, it's just a text info view that also acts as a button to pop up some information. Due to space in phone apps, real estate is used quite often for information and for action. A convention in iOS and Androids is that things on the action bar can be tapped. As to documenting... they are just another thing to maintain when we are trying to create an app that you just use without needing detailed instructions. I'm focusing documentation on process stuff, and as little as we can get away with, so maintenance of it doesn't swamp us. Reminder... Volunteer effort... I triage every day. If we didn't perfectly describe a relatively minor feature, it happens. Hidden functions...This isn't one, but they are common in all apps. There are hidden functions in PractiScore. As there are in 99.9% of every App out there. App developers need them due to the way Apple limits distribution and due to the compact screens that don't just let us put up menus / buttons all over like we might on a PC. So we put stuff in for debugging, for us to try at beta testers, and to get into special modes for helping users. Apple and Android have systems for telling you what data or permissions an app needs, and the hidden functions work within those constraints. But this isn't a hidden function... it's just there to use, but out of the way since it isn't commonly used. Ken N.

An update was submitted to permit more than 1 classifier in a regular Level 1 match, should pop from Apple any day now. Basically, make sure classifier flags are set in the stage design, shoot the match, the from view results page, send the Activity Report to yourself. It uses the "share" function of iOS, reporting registered apps that can share. For me it's dropbox or email, I generally use email it to myself and then upload it from my Mac on uspsa.org. Sometime in the relatively near future, uspsa.org will grab the match when you post it to practiscore.com, and all the data about classifiers, and automagically do the classifier, and the let your club contact know you can pay. This will happen when you are logged into USPSA.com as a club admin. In general, sometime about 1 month from now logins will be required to post matches. You can affiliate your login with other games, or just use those logins as credentials to post. Or if unaffiliated (i.e. an outlaw club or match), just create a free PractiScore login. The two sites will share activity data fairly tightly. That apples to 3GN as well, for those playing that game. Ken N.

Excellent. We are seeing same thing. Even having some of our scorekeepers running devices we leave back a bit to confirm interoperability asking to upgrade. We will continue to tweak this, and also bring it over into Android. It's much HARDER there due to the essentially infinite screen sizes in the 3000+ different Android devices. Ken N.

Ah... this explains the dilemma I hit helping a club last night... their Nooks were being assigned numbers pretty far apart by the DHCP. Fortunately, synch codes did the trick, which is why they are there. I will have to check if we can assign specific IP's per network on the device side. I suppose the DHCP server can do that per Mac address, if Nooks expose them somewhere. In this case, it was synching fine at the range, but not fine at the home network. Ken N.

It's in the app store description for each version. and also maintained here: https://practiscore.com/app-information/ Ken N.

Thanks Mark. Eugene Russ and I discussed this and walk-on is going to be refurbished. Documentation... man I wish I could have somebody donate to the project that was good at that. I'm pretty good, but too darn busy.

On the master, go to each different registration and adjust the "Is walk-on" switch. See info button above, but basically it will find shooters with common identifying info and merge them after confirmation.

I'll ask Russ to make a quick video of it. Basically, you can choose a squad order sort, add new shooters directly to a squad, see how many people are in the squad, and move people to a squad just by touching them. Ken N.

That's testflighted right? Send some specific thoughts to support. I loved it, so it may be an issue of how to use, or other. Ken N.

Yes. Only you would also have the squad shoot order setting as an option

A stage library, of general nature, is intended. But as others have covered, many clubs run un-pure Steel matches. Jitterbug...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kmp5dgzeZuk&noredirect=1 Member numbers/class and other choices - it remembers everything by match type. Eventually (as in a couple months), master info will be stored on the cloud for clubs and shooters.

Not aware of the crash. The add 2 instad of subtract 2 is fixed and will be in 1.6.2 submitted in next couple of days 1.6.1 was approved by Apple today btw Ken N.

The practiscore.com DNS provider is under a significant DoS attack, affecting tens of thousands of sites. We are moving DNS over to Amazon, expect it to roll over in twenty minutes or so. We'd planned to do that anyway, this spurs it a bit. Ken N.

j\yup - just makec changes, re-post. The match has a unique id, re-posts will just overwrite that past one.

It's no harder than installing ezWS, or updating Windows XP. Just different. Russ and I did 23 Nooks one afternoon at work, most of that time was just charging Nooks.

Few thoughts... - I've been hunting up the perfect device for USPSA to bundle, and haven't found it yet. So I've been focusing on making glare less of an issue, with the 1.6 jitterbug changes The Nook both frightens and amazes me. I've pinged Alibaba (electronics mfg portal) for a custom e-ink pure Android that we can specify, but no joy. It may be we do a Kickstarter, like Earl, to gen up enough $ to have them build it. - PS does fine with paper. Consider it an easily portable paper scoring device. See the FAQ page about data collection on paper, and data entry on one or more tablets - the switch isn't really to tablet, that is a waypoint. It's to cloud with tablet as data collector. I could have written the end all instant scoring system based on my fully interneted wifi'd range, but the goal wasn't that, it was to help stats guys at all clubs. So every thing we do has the unconnected range at the root, and we scale up from there. Last year I scaled up cool stuff at my home range and selected betas around. And now we are going full up to what we call PS Web 2.0, the goal of which is to make MD's incredibly efficient, and to build community around matches, clubs and competitors. I'm stoked because PS web 2.0 dev starts tomorrow. It automates pretty much everything a competitor, match, or club needs to do...wherever they are, whatever they are looking at. P.S. The over weekend PS website issues have been diagnosed. And we have worked around it. It was us, more precisely Wordpress and how we used it, that was causing massive multiplier of database hits when users hit refresh/reload. Amazon then did what it was supposed to - protect the system, alas only from itself (-: PS Web 2.0 uses an entirely different architecture, more modeled after Instagram or Dropbox and will scale up without intervention or stress. Ken N.

I actually go have a life for a 1/2 a day and you guys start scrapping... Bill... if you aren't testflighted yet you will be tomorrow. The day we wanted to do that was the day Apple decided it's time to cleanse all our global test devices and start anew. On betas... On Android I think we are moving to a bleeding edge posted to website, please try, and a stable one in the 3 current locations. We want to test more but need help, as we have a lot of devel to do. Apple will have to be more structured cause we have to test flight and only get 100 devices COMPANY wide, including non PS activities. Ken N.

We may share a MAMP / WAMP setup to model cloud services on local wifi. It's what we use to model them local before pushing updates. BUT that is big if... Limited time and if a range can get range wide wifi, it seems easy to stick internet on it. I know I know...some places got no signal, I understand, but limited time and gotta make choices.

Ouch... good find. Duly noted. will investigate in AM.

Goal is results posting and activity report - correct? Do you have an iOS device? Or a friend, or family member, neighbor? Synch to it, post results, and from same window in Practiscore, generate activity report. For later...I strongly advocate NOT using Nook as master. It doesn't have enough memory to do results calculations. or do the PS Exporter approach described above Ken N.

what version of iOS?
