Something looks wrong to me in the game history implementation. When I check in the (Android) app while not connected to the board I can see no games which is even weirder since it’s supposed to be back up online, at least it should stay local to the application. Then, if I connect to the board and play a game on it (not on an online platforrm), the history doesn’t update unless I connect the board to the internet. It looks like there is an issue with this online saving which messes up everything. While I understand the potential benefit of having the games saved to a cloud third party, I feel the overall implementation is not finished.
The board does need to be connected to the internet in order to upload games. Please contact us at info@bryghtlabs.com so we can get some additional information about your games not showing up in the app.
Yes I understand the board needs to be connected to upload the games to the net but when connected to the app it could also upload it within the app. No more possibility to retrieve local games directly from the app? That’s unfortunate. About the other point after having waited almost 10 minutes the games finally showed up in the app, but I feel the delay is too long and a local copy should at least be available, having some delay to retrieve the new online ones is not an issue per se but local cache would be great especially since you’re not transferring the games from the board to the app anymore.
Can I ask what game type you played when it took 10 minutes to sync? For certain online games, we only sync the game to the phone once the server has published the final record, which can take several minutes. For a local over the board or AI game, such a delay is unexpected.
What I mean is that whenever I open the app with the board switched off my history is empty (it’s not about loading one missing game) and I need to wait a huge amount of time to see the games appearing. Maybe network issue but I was expecting some local cache which looks like inexisting
When the app is launched, the game history is cleared. Then we fetch the games in small batches to reduce data plan usage. The history remains cached until the app is closed.
