v8.3.0

QR device sign-in works with any camera app, the location-sharing icon in race mode now shows three status states, penalty and incident banners auto-clear after a few seconds, and the in-app chat and race mode have several further refinements.

Devices

  • QR sign-in codes generate as scannable links any camera app can open, the signing-in device sees a loading animation and confirmation, and the approval now completes correctly regardless of how the screen is reached.
  • Technical delegates: The option to approve a device sign-in from the race mode drawer is now visible to delegates who manage the event, not just technical officials.
  • The location-sharing icon in race mode now shows three states: filled pin (actively sharing), a hand-off icon (a dedicated device holds the lock), or an amber off-pin (eligible but not sharing). A dedicated-device handoff also shows a specific message instead of a generic stopped notice.

Officiating

  • After submitting a penalty or incident in race mode, a banner appears with a View shortcut to jump directly to the review screen; it clears automatically after a few seconds.
  • Tapping a push notification now reliably opens the intended screen.

Chat

  • Tapping a quoted message scrolls back to the original; the highlight when jumping to a referenced message lasts longer and appears as a soft rounded glow.
  • The message list scrolls smoothly when someone else is typing, and short messages no longer show extra space above them.
  • Reaction chips and system messages are more polished; on Android, the compose field now clears cleanly after tapping send.

Behind the scenes

  • The penalty and incident notification banners in race mode appear more reliably.
  • The location-sharing status resets correctly after leaving race mode.
  • The location-sharing icon updates immediately when a dedicated device takes over, so officials no longer see a misleading “sharing” indicator on a stationary phone.
  • If the dedicated tracking device becomes unavailable, location sharing automatically falls back to a standard phone.

v8.2.0

Race mode has a revamped screen structure with an instant-opening drawer and a dedicated full-screen drafting page for bike officials, QR scanning is overhauled across the app, and officials removed from an event are automatically taken to the events list.

Officiating

  • The race mode drawer now opens instantly — the loading spinner that previously appeared while race data loaded is gone.
  • Bike officials: The drafting view in race mode is now a dedicated full-screen page, accessible directly from the main race controls.
  • Officials removed from an event are automatically returned to the events list, even while in race mode.

Devices

  • QR codes for event joining and device sign-in now display with correct color contrast, making them reliably scannable regardless of display brightness or theme.
  • Scanning a QR code to sign in now uses a full-screen scanner with a flashlight toggle for use in low-light conditions.

Event setup

  • Technical delegates: Event search now returns the correct events for your organisation's configured data source.
  • Organisation admins: If your organisation has event import enabled, you can now import events directly from the organisations page.

Behind the scenes

  • Location tracking on dedicated devices is more stable when multiple devices are active in the same event.
  • Course maps load more consistently on slow or intermittent network connections.

v8.1.10

Chat gets emoji reactions and a read-only mode for closed conversations, and media controls are larger for easier one-handed use in the field.

Officiating

  • Chat messages now support emoji reactions. Long-press any message to add or remove a reaction; reactions from all participants appear below the bubble.
  • When a chat is closed, the message input shows a notice and cannot accept new messages.
  • Images sent in chat now display correctly after uploading and can be tapped to view full size.

Penalties

  • Technical officials: After submitting a penalty or incident, the app returns to the race view with the new entry already visible.

Devices

  • Technical officials: Media controls on the handover and race screens are now larger and scroll when they don't fit, making them usable with gloves or one-handed.

Organisation

  • Organisation admins: The web organisations page now has a dropdown to switch between organisations without navigating away.

Behind the scenes

  • Chat loads correctly when opened from within a panel or half-screen view.

v8.1.9

Sync visibility improvements for officials, a live "Active" indicator in race mode, and refreshed event setup forms on the web.

Officiating

  • Technical officials: The race mode header now shows "Active" in red alongside "Race Mode" when a race is running, so it's immediately clear when live monitoring is on.
  • Technical officials: Penalty and incident cards now show a small sync icon while a submission is still being written to the server. The icon disappears once confirmed — a clear signal that the report has landed, useful on slow connections.

Events

  • The events list now appears as soon as events are available in your account.
  • A sync status chip appears at the bottom of the events list and the info screen whenever the app has items waiting to upload. Tap it to trigger an immediate retry.

Event setup

  • Organisation admins and technical delegates: The add and edit forms for events and races have a refreshed layout — each section now has a short description and fields have placeholder text to guide input.

Behind the scenes

  • Penalties and incidents submitted on a slow or broken connection are queued locally and reach the server automatically when connectivity is restored.

v8.1.7

Athlete markers on the race map gain direction arrows and smooth motion, penalty indicators on the map are clearer, and the athlete number keypad now scales correctly on every screen.

v8.1.4

The drafting view is easier to read on tablets, athlete positions stay in motion between GPS updates, and race-mode location tracking is faster and more reliable.

Officiating

  • Technical officials: The drafting view on tablets is 15% larger — bib numbers, distances, and DRAFTING/CLEAR labels all scale up for easier reading at arm's length on a moto-mounted tablet.
  • Technical officials: Each athlete row in the drafting view now shows the name of the paired drafting device in small text below the status label, useful for spotting pairing issues or mis-assigned bibs mid-race.
  • Athlete positions on the drafting widget now keep moving smoothly for up to 15 seconds between GPS fixes, instead of freezing after 5 seconds. With real-world phone update rates of 10–15 seconds, every athlete now stays in continuous motion on screen, so the draft zone reads correctly mid-race instead of looking like athletes have separated.

Behind the scenes

  • Race-mode location tracking now reaches full speed within seconds of starting, rather than after a multi-minute delay on first start.
  • Officials' GPS positions update more frequently in race mode, making on-course location more responsive.
  • Drafting distance readings are steadier during brief GPS gaps — positions are now projected more conservatively based on measured real-world fix timing.
  • The drafting widget refreshes correctly after certain on-screen interactions.
