2.0
ThunderScout 2.0 is a major update that provides key improvements to the analytic features and the Bluetooth transfer system.
ThunderScout's analytic features have been redesigned from the ground up to be more useful, relevant, and elegant:
- The data collected is now presented across multiple screens.
- The Matches screen displays a generated schedule of the event, allowing you to see at a glance all the data you have collected, or may be missing.
- The Rankings screen ranks teams by an estimation of how many points they would score, on average, alone on the field based on your collected data.
- Both these screens are searchable, and you can customize the ranking criteria for the latter.
The match and team breakdowns have been updated to highlight statistical performance and point estimations, and now take up less space.
- A third "alliance" comparison view is also visible when you select three teams on the Rankings screen.
The Bluetooth transfer system has been improved to be more reliable and actionable:
- Notifications now keep you informed with the progress of background transfers and allow you to edit and retry failed transfers.
- The backend implementation has also been improved with variable alliance-station-based delays, automatic reattempts, and a confirmation phase.
- You can also select matches on either the Matches or the Rankings screen and batch send them to a specified device.
Other notable changes:
- The alliance field has been updated to reflect individual alliance stations.
- The Bluetooth Device selection preference now opens a system dialog.
- An app shortcut (requires Android 7.1 and/or a supporting launcher) has been added to toggle the Bluetooth server.
- New squircle icon (now Adaptive on Android Oreo)
- You can now opt out of telemetry in the settings
- Updates are now explained in-app with patch notes very similar to these, which are also accessible from the About menu
