Initial thoughts on the dicekeys app

[ukscone]

Beta dice arrived yesterday and although i'd been playing around with the app prior this is the 1st time i'd used the app with actual dice.

My phone is an LG Aristo 3 running android 9

1st thoughts are because the image inside the view is so slow to update it is very hard to get the dicetray completely inside the view or find the right distance to get an image that is in focus and readable by the app. I have found using landscape seems to be a bit easier than portrait. Also it seems to sometimes get a partial read and then gets "stuck" with that and have to exit out of the app (see the image with green on it) and restart the reading process. on my particular phone the app's UI is very teeny almost unreadable.

wrt to the slowness of the image in camera view updating which makes it hard to use maybe the way to handle it is to either allow scanning of an external image to the app (from the camera) for reading as well as or instead of RT scanning which gives the added bonus that the app would work correctly and easily using most browsers on most OS's as it handles that some browser/os combo's don't allow RT camera usage easily/at all

I found that started farther from the tray and slowly moving in helps register the dicekeys.
