Pinball Map App 5.4.3
Hot off the high heels of our big v.5.4.0 app release we have another hefty one with some great new features.
We are pushing hard to close out as many github issues as we can, and we are pretty close to being done.
- View, upload, and delete location photos. This closes out a github issue from 2018!! We had the API endpoints ready to go for many years. But that was only half the battle. Now the battle is over.
- Added a new Filter Recently Activity option: Saved Locations. It limits activity to only your saved/favorited locations.
- Let users select a “flag” icon (via profile screen). Show that flag icon next to user names. In addition to country/state flags, we also added “Misc” flags. If you have ideas for more flags, let us know!
- Added email and phone buttons that copy operator contact information so you can directly contact operators that opt in to this feature. Read about that feature here.
- Updated FAQ, including adding a table of content to jump to sections and better new operator instructions.
- Added an Account Settings screen in the User Profile for changing email and password or deleting account. Apple kind of has a requirement for this. We always fulfilled the requirement by linking to the website profile page where users could do this. But once a year Apple would reject an app update because of this, and then we would have to appeal (and the appeal would always succeed). We got tired of this rejection/appeal process, so we resolved the root issue.
In addition to the above, we spent a lot of time examining server responses when using the app, and we cleaned up quite a few functions that were over aggressively querying the server for data. As a result, the app will now be faster and smoother!
What about bug fixes? This will probably jinx things, but we have actually had no bug reports from v5.4.0.
