App : Badminton Score Tracker

Hi,

Thanks for the update - we appreciate your work!

Sadly... the touch issue is still present (at least on my FR265 v21.22).

So I updated the app, confirmed as it now has the warmup option, but even with touchscreen off the app still responds to touch.  However this time the touches/swipes are slightly different than before...

• Swiping up increases player score by 1
• Swiping down increases opponent score by 1
• Swiping right undoes the previous score added
• Touching anywhere on screen brings up the Resume/End options screen
  • Instead... touching the top half of the screen increases opponents score by 1
  • Instead... touching the bottom half of the screen increases the player score by 1

I hope that helps.  I'm still using the app weekly and it still works great.  Just wanted to keep you updated on how various devices load the app

Also off-topic, I don't suppose you have any interest in Pickleball?  There are NO good scorekeeping apps for pickleball singles matches and I think you'd have a very good foundation for an app based on this badminton app.

Hello. It seems you missed my previous message. Here it is again, as this forum can make it difficult to track conversations:

Hi,

You are right. The app is responding to touch events even when it shouldn't. Unfortunately, I haven't found a way in the SDK to detect the device's touch-enabled state. It seems this setting should ideally work regardless of the app's specific actions, but there is an open issue about this here: forums.garmin.com/.../disabling-touch-screen-for-apps-in-system-settings-does-not-disable-touch-screen-for-all-apps.

Regarding the development of a pickleball app, I am not interested in developing a new application. The Garmin ecosystem remains problematic, plagued by bugs and seemingly driven by marketing priorities over sound engineering. For a more detailed explanation of my concerns, please see this issue on the app's GitHub repository: https://github.com/matco/badminton/issues/22. Unfortunately, Garmin's platform hasn't shown significant improvement since 2021.

Thank you.

I used it today.

After the first match after the warm-up round, the summary on the watch shows the elapsed time of the match plus the warm-up round.

When trying to end the play session after a finished match on the score page (in endless mode), I didn’t see an option to end the app and save the activity. I had to start a new match before I could exit, which resulted in an inelegant additional 4-second match in the statistics.

It might be a nice idea to show the maximum heart rate alongside the current one during the warm-up phase or match.

Thank you. You are right about the menu button, I always forget how to use it if I didn't play for a while and was ending it with the menu that opens by pressing start during the match but advances to the next match on the results screen.

Minor cosmetic issue: the German word "Doppel" is cut off on the left side of the "D" same for the word "Gegner" which is cut off on both sides.

First, what a great app.

i think the heart rate has an error. When I track badminton using the app the heart rate is a lot lower then when I use the garmin activity tracker.

Great app…

I have a epic pro gen2.

when using the app to track, the heart rate is significantly different then using the already installed activity tracker.

Idea for pause tracking:

My friend often wants to pause, so we finish a match I leave the watch on the results screen and move one when she is fit again.

That means I get to see the actual match time on the watch display, but in the summary the pause gets added resulting in a much longer match time.

My idea supports both situations, people that don't want to pause and those who do.

What about if you leave the results page within 20 seconds no pause is recorded, but if you stay longer a round called "pause" without points gets tracked, that ends when leaving the results screen for the next match?
