Data may not load properly #11

Closed Grayda closed 5 years ago

Grayda commented 8 years ago

If an ad shows up part way through the loading of the data, there's a chance that the data may never finish loading. Closing and opening the app again may resolve this, but a fix is coming in 0.9.0 that moves the ad loading code to after the data has come through, so you don't sit around waiting for something to complete.

I've had reports that this is still an issue for some people (and I saw this myself last night), plus it's happening on the paid version too. I'm removing the in-beta tag and going back to research.

Update 1: I've made some changes to the code. First changes the loading GIF to show a text status (e.g. "Location found, retrieving data" when GPS has locked on and data is downloading). Second shows an alert on any kind of load failure, not just timeouts (which didn't really seem to work for me).

Looks like this is related to geolocation. The app gets stuck trying to find the users location. This should hopefully be fixed in 1.0 with the addition of a timeout, but for now simply closing the app and opening it again works.

Closing, as this is fixed in version 2, due for release before the end of the year. It's using Capacitor (instead of Cordova) and with the VPS back-end and better handling of geolocation errors, it's a LOT quicker and a LOT more reliable, even when geolocation is switched off.
