When launching the app for the first time in a while

Beyond what @jolley described regarding radar:

@jolley

when launching the app for the first time in a while it does not bring any new radar data, upon closing the app and opening it again the data appears.

I’m experiencing that regardless of if the Flowx app have been running in the background or not, when launching the app for the first time in a while it not only fails to display the newest radar, but also is not showing the current time.

I like the suggested behavior proposed by @duane.

@duane

let’s fix the bug instead.

Here is what I propose:

• if you pause the app and return within 10 minutes, it’ll keep the last time you viewed the app.
• if you pause the app and return after 10 minutes, it’ll go to the most recent radar image if radar is on.
• else it’ll go to the current time.

I think this is a good start.

My experience is that we are not quite back there yet, and currently the fist ting i do, basically every time I open Flowx, regardless of if

• the Flowx app have been running in the background
• or not,

is to close it, and open it again, in order to:

• display current time
• with the latest radar.

Now that the first version of the

Movie Maker

is out, (awesome btw!) I’m voting for attention been drawn to polishing this issue, since it is causing a bit of frustration nearly every time the app is opened.

I can imagine the frustration. It’s not clear how many users see this issue because I cannot replicate it.

I believe the origins of this bug is due to the addition of radar. Before that I would only check for new data every 10-15 minutes. When I added radar I had to reduce the check time to a few minutes only when radar was on. I tacked this on alongside the existing 10 minute check. This is where, I believe, the bug is.

My solution is to merge or rewrite the code for these two checks.

Fortunately, I’ve finished adding big features and will focus on bugs, stability, speed, polish and growth.

Fortunately I only use GFS, HRR and CMC Models and see no issue with Radar.
