11App settings

Everything you can change about the app itself, which is deliberately very little: the language, the theme, and where you are signed in.

Works offline

There is no settings screen#

The app has no preferences page. Everything you can change sits in the menu on the QR Scan tab, and there are only two real options. Everything else about the app is decided by the competition setup on the website.

The same menu holds Help and manual, which opens this manual in your browser, in whichever language the app is set to. It is also on the sign in screen, so it works before you have an account that gets you anywhere.

Where QR Scan Menu

Language#

Language opens a list with System default at the top, followed by every language the app is translated into: English, Deutsch, Espanol, Francais, Italiano, Portugues and Portugues (Brasil).

System default follows the phone's language, which is what most people want. Choosing a language explicitly overrides that, and the choice is remembered on this phone until you change it again. The change is immediate, with no restart.

Note

The language changes the app's own text. Competition data keeps the names the organizer gave it, so category chips, task names and pilot names do not translate.

Theme#

Theme offers System default, Light and Dark. It applies to the whole app immediately and is remembered.

Light
Easier to read outdoors in bright sun, which is where scanning happens.
Dark
Easier at night, and the natural companion to the map's Dark style in an ops room.

Note

The map style toggle on the Live Tracking tab is separate from the app theme. You can run a light app with a dark map, or the other way around.

Session and logout#

Logout ends the session on this phone, stops position sharing, clears the live state and returns you to the sign in screen. It does not delete the cached pilot lists, the photos, the queue or the local scan history.

Caution

Sync the queue before logging out on a shared phone. A queued scan belongs to whoever signs in next only in the sense that they will be the one to upload it, which is not a situation anybody wants to explain.

Behavior you cannot change#

Rotation follows the device
Hold the phone sideways and the app turns with it. In landscape it gives the screen back to the content: a shorter header, an icon only tab strip, and on Android both system bars slide away. Swipe in from an edge to bring them back.
Live tabs sleep when you leave them
The live feed connects when you open Live Tracking or Live Ops and disconnects when you leave both, to save battery.
Position sharing does not
Once on, it keeps running across tabs and in the background until you switch it off. That is the point of it.
The queue syncs itself
There is no automatic sync interval to configure. It runs on reconnection, on resume, on sign in and on demand.
