Finished Results Live

Trying to watch the live results for pole vaulting and all we get is “In Progress”. The flights started at 8:00 am Pacific time. It is currently 3:41 PM pacific time and we only have results for 2 flights that happened this morning and no live feed at all for any current pole vault flights jumping. For a parent trying to watch from across the United States it very frustrating not to at least watch the O’s and X’s of jumps made or missed. I guess I am used to the timing companies on the East coast of the United States that actually shows real live results for all events. Very disappointed that this company does not have the staff to show live results for all track and field events and maybe they can learn something from other timing companies that get it right for us parents.

Results on many sites are free and they pop up shortly after the race is complete. The results I looked up so far have not been easy to look up. I can get to the live results during the race, but as soon as they move on to the next race the previous race results are not accessible fore a while. When looking up results for one race on an iPad, I was unable to get back to race list. I had to close out the app and then navigate back to the correct meet and then the race. It has been a frustrating experience.

Didn't really understand why we would need to pay for this app. I mean, the event organizers are paying for the timing service right? But it's 99 cents so I figured, what the heck. Well, the live results of the race actually being run right that second is good, but good luck trying to get any results on races already completed. When you click "Results by event" you get taken to the web site where results from completed races are ridiculously slow to be added. And there is no way to navigate back to the live race page in the app, so you are forced to close the app completely and re-open it to get back to that screen. Seems like ever since this idea to create an app and monetize it, everything has been slower and more difficult to access and I didn't see anything wrong with last season's results.
