New beta! v4.2.0 (318)

[Dave J 0]

@Corjan-Meijerink really like this planner and ease of use. Just a couple of points so far from using the feature on iOS:

• When searching to place a waypoint, my Favourites do not appear to show. Wonder if the search menu could be like the search when using the app when you have the different categories etc?
• A few times when trying to place the waypoint, it appears to ‘drift’ slowly and not stay where I place it when I try to set the position. I have the used the move function but I seem to have a slow drift of the icon. It is not all the time but wondering if anybody else has seen this? I will try and get a screen recording at some point.

Great work. Loving this new feature.

When dragging a waypoint to a new location, the location is obscured by your finger (obviously). That makes it a bit difficult to place waypoints exactly on the road. Yes I have sausage-fingers Is it possible to have the "gripping point" of the waypoint-drop a little bit higher on the symbol, so that you can look underneath your finger to the point of the drop to place the WP more accurately?

Great update though! Curious to what is more to come

[Dave J 0]

Not sure why I was downvoted for my previous post. Curious.

@Dave-J-0

I gave you a + vote.

Strange that someone downvoted you.

[Con Hennekens]

@Dave-J-0, most of the time, people are not even aware they are doing that...
And if it is done intentionally, @Jan-Weerheim is welcome to share his opinion

[Jan Weerheim]

@Con-Hennekens sorry I'm not aware that I did that. It certainly wasn't my intention. I think I touched the icon by accident.

[Dave J 0]

@Jan-Weerheim Thanks for that than Jan. Thought I had upset someone.

Thank you also @Lynchy67 and @Con-Hennekens

i did look at android playstore but no update yet. has anyone got android update ?

[DerRoteBlitz]

@Bouke-Ent

I am waiting for the Android version as well ... Nothing until now... Feels longer as previously until the new version is available...

[Lynchy67]

@DerRoteBlitz

Patience is the word regarding Android updates.
It's not uncommon for it to take multiple days to deploy.

[richtea999]

@DerRoteBlitz The delay is entirely down to Google. They review all beta apps, and give no indication to developers of how long that may take. From experience, it can be half a day to 4 days. Their formal max time is 'up to 7 days or longer in exceptional cases'. Great? It does.

Maybe this weekend it's a bit chokka in the Google review team.

Apple have a similar review process, and back in the day it was Apple who were very slow to review. It was so bad that there were web sites where developers could submit the time their app had just taken to pass, so other developers could gauge how long their own might take to get through. You know your process is broken when that happens. Apple fixed it in the past few years and now it's generally below a day.

It is possible for Corjan to do 'managed' publishing where he's decides when to let the apps go live (like next Monday, etc), but where's the excitement in that?

Yes. I have both Android and iOS, and use the same account on all devices.

Ask Corjan for an invite, and you'll need to install the TestFlight app.

Good morning, given that among the topics there is also the numbering of the waypoints, it would be useful to be able to change the order not by using the swipe function on the left column, but simply by changing the ordinal number on the map. I do not know if I was clear. Thanks for the attention.

[Marinus van Deudekom]

@Corjan-Meijerink Android is taking a long time. Stuk no update available

[Corjan Meijerink]

It is indeed quite interesting that Android is taking that long to get approved....

Let's hope they have a productive Monday morning too!

[Jörgen]

Still not available, very unusually.

[Marinus van Deudekom]

@Corjan-Meijerink the amont of Time that Android is taking is concerning. Maken you wonder if everything went as planned.. Android is normale later than IOS but this time……

[Corjan Meijerink]

@Marinus-van-Deudekom It is ridiculous indeed!

After 7 days I recommend going direct to Google Support and nagging them. From my experience it can sometimes speed things up
