[APP] Racing One, your Formula One companion

[harry2345]

Updated the app to 2015 !!

Made a local database with all the races. So the overal app acts way faster then before!
Also added a settings page with settings that could be useful for some people.

The update will be live in a few hours!!

Hello,

I'm getting lots of requests to translate the app to different languages. If you want to help me just send me an email hanswinkels@outlook.com

By the way the here is the Windows 8.1 paid version: Racing One app for Windows in the Windows Store

 

[harry2345]

The update with drivers info will be pushed out in the next few days!

If you want to translate the app to your language, you can do that here: https://hanswinkels.oneskyapp.com/collaboration/project?id=29056

Like the look of this app but just want to confirm, does the paid version on Windows 8 have a live tile? Thanks.

 

[harry2345]

Yes, this is what it looks like

Great, thanks.

Bought it and like it so far. One question, is it possible to add a feature to add a calendar event for the race when you tap on the race time? If the OS allows, of course. Thanks.

 

[harry2345]

I don't know if that is possible, but I'm working for notifications that gives you a heads up that the race will start in 30 minutes. Also I want to add that after the race you will get a notification that shows who won.

 

[theefman]

That could be a good solution, maybe even make the notification time adjustable? Also how about showing the latest news story on the live tile flip side or alternating with the next race tile, that would make it more useful as there's lots of cool stuff in the news that might otherwise be missed. Thanks.

I need to test the notifications during the next race, but this is what the settings will look like :



The live tile with news will come in a later version !

Good job on the latest update & the news notifications work great.

Just a couple of things I've noticed:

Would you be able to separate the Race/quali notifications away from the notification that gives the winners name. I want to be notified that the quali/race is about to start but if I'm recording the action then I don't need to know who is on pole position or who has won the race.

Also a little bug that you may be aware of is when you access the notification settings you can't return to the app as pressing the phones back button eventually exits the app & you then have to kill the app in the task manager otherwise it just returns to the notification settings page.

Keep up the good work.

 

[harry2345]

I will separate the result notifications from the notifications before an event, that will be changed later this week. The update for the bug will be available tomorrow. If you have any other suggestions for the notifications feel free to let me know !

 

[sp8y]

Thanks the bug fix update works great.

Just one further thing on the notifications. Would it be possible to add a quick status icon that shows up in the lock screen/glance screen like what shows when you get a missed call or email.

 

[harry2345]

With a counter of the news items? I think I can add that, should I add it to the live tile too?

 

[sp8y]

Yes that sounds good.

 

[theefman]

Sounds like the app is shaping up nicely. Having a problem on my Surface 3 though, my live tile stopped working. Initially it was working when set as a wide tile then I decided to try the large size and the tile wasn't updating so I took it back to wide but the tile is still not updating. Tried an uninstall and reinstall with reboot and still doesn't work. This was a few days ago now. Any help you can offer? All my other live tiles work fine. Thanks.

 

[harry2345]

I will look into that. Also I will add drivers info to the Windows version and some other improvements.

Btw does the app launch correctly when tapping on a news notification?

Opens fine for me from a news notification.

Were probably crashes from navigating back from the notification settings
