[PLEASE VOTE] LapTimer Notifications
Posted: Mon Jul 07, 2014 6:52 pm
Hi,
I'd like to get your opinion on notifications sent by LapTimer. Just to clarify, LapTimer does not support notifications so far. Notifications are the short messages dropping down from the top of the screen of your smartphone (both iOS and Android) giving you a short notification like "Turn left in 100 meters" sent by an navigation app, or a birthday notice sent by calendar etc.
I have several ideas about valuable information LapTimer could provide while it is not active. I list some of them below and would like you to vote which of these notifications would be interesting for you - and which ones are not. The event that made me think about that feature is the issue with Bluetooth connections introduced in iOS7.1 (and fixed in iOS7.1.2). It made BT connections to external GPS and OBD dongles nearly unusable. I would have loved to send a short message to all LapTimer users they should either not update currently - or try one of the known workarounds...
Advertisements - and other messages bugging you - will certainly never be sent, I want to add LapTimer value here!
In case you have ideas on additional events you want to be notified on, please just reply on this thread.
