Smartphone App for Robson Ranch Radio Control Club

Available currently only for Android devices. An iPhone/iPad version is under development.

We have created a smartphone app for club members. It’s purpose is to provide members with a portable, convenient way to check race-related information, local weather, maintenance tips, the website and to communicate with each other.

This is a password protected app, but the password is known to all members in good standing. The password is the gate code.

On the menu are currently 8 choices.

1. Results – this button choice will take you to the same race results you can get from the web site.

2. Weather – weather site from a RR resident on Sonora Court. Uses a Weather Underground account. Updates every few seconds.

3. Slash Tips – currently has 3 videos available: How to Reverse Steering; Reset TQI Transmitter; and Bind transmitter to Receiver. More can be added. Convenient way to make fixes at the track.

4. Calendar – displays the Club calendar of events

5. Web Site – takes you to the Club Website.

6. Members – allows you to find and communicate with a member without having to have that person’s contact info in your device’s contact list. You can look up a member and Text, Call or Email. We have a few local service numbers available to call also.

7. About – a little basic info about the app.

8. Bye – explains how to exit the program since the app itself has no means of exiting and closing.

Additionally, we have the capability of sending PUSH Notifications to any device that has this app installed. The App does not need to be running. Our intention is to send PUSH notices when we have time-sensitive information to share – such as a last-minute notice that racing is cancelled due to track conditions.

We can also deliver in-app messages to everyone with the app. The app has to be running for you to see these messages.

To get this app, send an email to Dave Doughty at webmaster.rrrc@gmail.com. He will send you a link.

Follow installation instructions from your Andoid device. Whenever you have an option to continue to install, select that option.

The app asks for no permissions from your smartphone. No in-app ads, either! And it is free!

Your feedback will be appreciated.

If this proves popular, we will publish an iPhone/iPad version.
