Airtribune, a new app »

Do it all through the App

Brett Janaway, «brett», writes:

We are ploughing through a whole host of stuff on the App at the moment. So I put the idea of having the App send out a SMS message to a follower when you start your flight to the developer to consider. She will investigate Strava to see how it works and if it is feasible.

In fact, we released a new App this last the weekend, and have a few more releases due in the coming days and weeks. Yesterday we added a News section. We will announce events through this, and it will soon be linked to Notifications on the phone too.

We will also have Task tracking integrated soon. Also a list of all events, and the ability to sign up to an event from the App. Several other things under consideration too.

These are the first updates in three years to the App. It has been a huge task, just getting it updated to the latest Android libraries, as that broke most of the code. But the new developer is very good and she is really keen. Always good for developments.

The intention is to make the App genuinely useful, not just for tracking in events, which is pretty obsolete for guys like you and I, where we use Flymaster trackers.

Did you know, if you check in to your own event, you can take a photo with the App and it is immediately sent to the day Blog on the Airtribune web site. I use this feature a lot in my events. It even credits the photo to the sender. We are going to soon upgrade it so you can do it from the Gallery, too.

In the near future it will be converted to 'flutter', which means we can release one app for all platforms (Android, iOS amd Windows etc). It'll make it easy to update in future, and be a big gain for iOS users. Then very quickly after that, the app will have major upgrades. Being able to view all events, sign up to them, and even manage them in the App instead of a PC. The App will become more core in the Airtribune platform.
