Chief Stipe Posted April 29 Author Share Posted April 29 Well I was forced to upgrade the mobile app today. Does anyone else have an issue with the viewport? That is the screen moves left and you end up with white bar on the right. You can't refresh the screen to get rid of it. I hope the changes include fixing the Trackside graphics so they at least scroll through to include very horse. If you wanted to back Mach Shard at the Trots on Friday you wouldn't have known it was at over $150-1. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Stipe Posted April 29 Author Share Posted April 29 Geez went to stop and start the app and now it says I need to update. Click update and it's in a continual loop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Stipe Posted April 29 Author Share Posted April 29 Worked it out. The update doesn't update your existing installation it creates a new one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting reaction from a couple of friends who said "oh well they must have done a live smoke test"! Unbelievable that any company can do that. I said to one person - would you put customers on a new train and track without fully testing? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeynz Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 I think the app/website is getting a face-lift, no doubt within half an hour there will be loads of negatives, people love having something to moan about. Time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As well as having not having full odds it is impossible to follow what's going on across the two channels and the displaying of results is poor. If the result is not clear just after the race (ie there is a photo involved) then you don't (in most cases) ever get something on the screen displaying the result (whether confirmed or not) and have no idea whether the result "has been paid". Hard to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and by the way if you had read the notices as you infer you have you'd know that the upgrade is so far running 30 minutes late. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark D Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Yes goes with my belief that in the various govt and private organisations I have worked in a computer upgrade is never ever completed on time. But I also do not believe that the upgrade will be good or the changes exciting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLB2.0 Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 So the Australian races are 30 seconds from kicking off and TS1 and TS2 have no footage? It's only the Warrnambool carnival after all.. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeynz Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 I've never been more excited since the last year Santa Claus visited, well it's the year later actually, but that year he didn't come, so gave up on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLB2.0 Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 No coverage for the first race. That's unacceptable, and very rare. What's going on with Trackside? Amateur hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal rule in an IT project - never, ever, ever go live if you can't guarantee customer service. Hence test test test. I'm guessing they are pressing on instead of rolling back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
