Version 1.5.0 Released!

5/16/2017

7 Comments

 
Version 1.5.0 has been released with some often requested features.
  • Added Modern and Golden Age support. Not only is it available in the search screen, but it has been added to the main Catalog view to quickly filter down IPs and Sets by the rotation type you want to browse.
  • Added the ability to copy an existing team!
  • Cards in the team details screen can now be interacted with in the same was as cards in the catalog. Tap on a card to copy ability text, search the rules forum, or add that card to another team.
  • Create a random team! When creating a new team, you will now have the option to add random cards.
    • Click the "Add Random Cards" text under the team name textbox.
    • A row will be added below showing the number of cards that will be added, as well as the parameters for those cards. By default it will be random from among all cards.
    • Tap on edit parameters on a row to change the subset of cards your random cards will come from. Maybe you want to limit it to just basic actions or characters, maybe a certain rarity. It uses the same screen as search, so you can be as specific or general as you like.
    • When you create the team, it will randomly add cards based on all of the provided parameters.
  • Rewrote the way cards are loaded in the Catalog view, for substantial performance improvements.
    • On the simulator it was taking 7.5 seconds to load the entire set of cards, that is now down to 0.5!
  • Enabled rotation for the app on iPad. I can't promise it will look great, but people asked for it.
  • Minor text fixes.

Thanks for all of your support and please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any concerns or requests (or find a typo).

Thanks,
Aaron

p.s. I'm currently working on typing up all the spoilers for the upcoming Batman set. Hopefully I can get those uploaded soon.

Hi
I'm absolutely loving the app for tracking my collection and building teams but it doesn't always seem to sync well between my devices. Is there a way to refresh and prompt this to happen? Keep up the great work

I could probably do some more work on syncing when using multiple devices.

For now, it generally attempts to upload any data to the internet any time you leave the catalog view, or whenever you save or create a new team. It will also sync when you first open the app.

I think the best way to make it accurately sync right now would be to go the catalog for a set and hit the back button, this should trigger a sync. After a few moments, you should be able to have the other device receive that data by closing out of the app completely and reopening it.

I will put adding a button to force upload/sync in the settings onto my list of future enhancements.

Thanks,
Aaron

Hi Aaron. Thanks for the quick response. I've just gone back in to follow your instructions and it seems to have lost info on both devices now. Cards seem to be fine but dice are not. Any advice on retrieving that data would be greatly appreciated. Still liking it.

Thanks

I looked on the online database, and all your data seems to still be there. I'm not sure why you aren't seeing the correct information on the app. Please try closing out the app where your dice counts aren't appearing and see if it grabs the data when the app loads again.

Please contact me using aschuetterapps@gmail.com if you are still having problems and I can look into this further.

Thanks,
Aaron
