Ok so my testing with the new app here are the issues I had.
The Broken:
1. the sync issues but it was simply that it said it was syncing and it had already completed when I went online to check all the shots were there even though the app said syncing please wait.
2. Switching from left handed to right handed seems fixed but not really, it never happened......but only because of #3 happening instead
3. The app just randomly loses connection to the device now and you get two red lights. To fix it you have to restart the app, you can leave skytrak on. This is while using it in direct mode with a usb connection. This happened anywhere from the first 30 seconds to 5minutes into using the app but it happened 5 times in a row and I decided to try network mode instead as my previous suspicions were the left to right swapping issue was a usb bug. Using the app with skytrak in network mode without a usb I never once had the disconnection issue, I even plugged the usb in while in network mode to keep it charged and it still worked fine for over 3 hours. I then went back to direct mode with usb and it lost connection after three shots.
4. The History section was very hit or miss for me, I started new sessions a few times in my 4+ hours of testing and some would show up in the history section and others never did. The first few hours worth of shots never showed up it was really strange, I need to further test it as I wasn't paying attention to it until the very end of my testing but there was definitely something fishy going on with it.
5. Had some random "this game has crashed" crash logs popup and then the app would just crash while editing settings and such , Ill submit the logs next time it happens
The good:
1. I really enjoyed the greens on the range they were a needed addition props for that
2. adding the side spin to exports was great too
3. The new images in the challenges screen are far more appealing great job
4. The level works great and gives peace of mind things are setup good.
The still needed
1. Shot apex heights and decent angles are still a very useful stat that is missing
2. The side angle view would be useful
3. The shot plotting is too zoomed out for most clubs, zoom feature would be helpful
4. Dual Monitor support - The big numbers screen is great but it would super useful if it could be moved to a separate monitor in the windows version
5. The way the top scores in challenges works needs some attention. Such as closest to pin with 150yards isnt really fair to compare to 100 yards in overall leader boards. Maybe just have it keep all time stats in 10 yard intervals. You can still set it to 154 yards for instance but it will fall under the 150-160 yard challenges when keeping best overall scores. Same with target challenge.
Longest drive you could have a leaderboard for each club, some people actually like to see who can hit a wedge the furthest ect.
6. Re-nameable clubs - just having 8iron-1 8iron-2 is pretty lame and not very useful, being able to name them would be much better, 6.im sure this would cause issues with the 360 site but at least it could be used for exports when doing fittings ect. then printing them.
(just my suggestions of things I would like to see in order of importance to me take it for what it is but great work on the current update!!!!)
