## parkrun Virtual Volunteer Reviews in United Kingdom

### ***-- "Time keeping bug."
Quite often, when time keeping, the App picks up position 1 when starting the timer!!
The app just needs a slight delay before it can register the first time position between starting and timing. Not sure many people can do a 5k run in 0.03 seconds.
-- Ied88, 2024-08-12

### ***-- "No longer vibrates when barcode scanning"
I've just done barcode scanning for the first time in a few weeks. I think the last time I used the app it was version 2.0.11 I used 2.1.0 today. The first thing I noticed was that the phone no longer vibrated whenever a barcode was successfully scanned. The lack of feedback made the job very difficult. I took my phone off silent, at which point a quiet ping was just about heard on every successful scan.

On the plus side I noticed that it scanned barcodes more accurately and the green boxes shown round barcodes when they'd been identified as such helped - except such box was also shown for a barcode that hadn't scanned correctly - so I initially thought it had. Luckily I noticed the problem in time.

I see my vibrate issue was probably caused by the "Haptic feedback" improvement made in 2.0.12. If I switch on System Haptics in Settings > Sounds & Haptics then phone does a little vibrate when a barcode is successfully scanned.

The only problem with this is that I don't want system haptics switched on for my day-to-day phone use.

So could the app again vibrate on successful barcode scan when the phone's set to silent please.

This is on iPhone 13 mini, iOS 17.5.1

### ****- "Turn WiFi off"
As said before. Some Parkruns are in town and just turning to airplane mode is not enough. To stop interruptions, turn WiFi off as well. So phones are configured to log on to local hot spots. It caused us problems in Whitstable. Please take note. Main HQ seem unable to comment. Thank you. Phil Hadler.n

### ****- "Great app but can be better"
Hi, I think the app is simple and great. One thing I noticed today was that the volume up was adding extra times in, which I wasn't expecting. I was actually trying to increase the volume so I could hear the beep louder. This caused the results to get messed up. It would be great if we could hold down and delete an accidental time with a confirmation. That would allow us to quickly fix errors as they happen and provide more accurate timings.
-- Pikachujird1st, 2023-11-18

### ****- "Great app but please add a swipe to delete option"
The app works really well for most things but really needs a “swipe to delete” option on the timing part - when it rains, raindrops hit the phone and cause false presses/times. 
Sometimes on starting the timer it will also add one or two false times at 00.00.01 or 00.00.03 seconds throwing all the other times out! “Swipe to delete” or at least “swipe to flag as incorrect and not upload” would be massively useful to fix this issue.

It would also come in handy for when non finishers walk through the finish funnel multiple times -  our finish funnel is really narrow and even though we try and stop this, people still walk through and occasionally get recorded by mistake by the timers messing up the results.
-- mattabbfal, 2023-11-18

### ****- "Still glitches on timing"
We were hoping the update may solve the problem of the app counting a run time when you initially just want to start the timing. It hasn’t so be aware that you need to do a couple of test runs once in airplane mode to make sure. Hope it hets sorted soon as a nightmare.
-- glitcherapp, 2023-10-06

### *---- "Bad"
Bad
-- hiiiiiiiyiiiiiiiiiiiii, 2023-09-09

### *---- "Massive bug in timing with volume buttons"
If you start the app and then change the volume before starting the timer, tapping the screen to start the time will add additional times.  If you then use the volume buttons to log times it will occasional add or no times;

Up -> 1 time logged
Up -> 0 times logged
Down -> 2 times logged
Down -> 1 time logged
Down -> 2 times logged

This can mess up results horribly!
-- RachaelHolmes, 2023-02-04

### **--- "Multiple clicks removal"
I’ve timekept a lot of parkruns.  The older watches were more tactile and less prone to multiple or accidental clicks than phones.

Given this, I’d ask that a feature is added to allow timekeepers to slide over an accidental entry and remove it.  I know the results processor can sort this out in post, but keeping  in sync with the tokens and fellow timekeepers is important.

Note that I had emailed parkrun HQ a while back about this and had no response.
-- philwjones, 2022-09-23

### ***** "Very well designed app"
This app is pretty perfect…very simple interface that is appropriate as thousands of people will use it without much training or explanation.

For scanning, it basically doesn’t let you make a mistake of which item to scan first, thereby avoiding errors. Haptic feedback is perfect, and the scanner works very well across different materials…wrinkled paper, screens, rubber wrist bands, etc.

Very well suited to its function
