I’m asked to subscribe although I am subscribing to Timeline. Should I do something special? (I see no “restore purchase …”)

Any timeline on moving recorder over to the new app. I’m going to delete and reimport my database I think after that

Currently the data is more complete in old arc because it just has more points

also any timeline on officially replacing the old app?

@diligiant The restore button is the “reload” button at bottom left. Though because these are TestFlight betas the purchases aren’t real - no money involved.

Once Arc Editor is on the App Store proper your existing subscription will carry over automatically. But for now you can do a fake lifetime purchase to get through. It’ll say “TestFlight” or “Sandbox” at the top, to let you know it’s not real.

Are you meaning data gaps? Has Arc Editor been getting terminated?

Arc Editor / LocoKit2 record higher quality and higher frequency data than the old app. So in almost all cases the Arc Editor data will be preferable. I’d only consider doing a fresh migration from the old app myself if I had data gaps in Arc Editor that aren’t there in Arc Timeline.

For when things will ship… I’m lining up to ship Arc Editor to the App Store as the final v1.0 maybe this weekend. All the work on Arc Editor is done for the release, and the only blocker is an Arc Timeline update, to point people towards the new app, and also to ensure existing subscriptions carry over correctly.

For Arc Recorder, I’ve got that planned for soon after the v1.0 release. Unlikely to be more than a week after v1.0 goes live.

Yeah it gets terminated more frequently I had a large data gap last week that the old app dealt with fine

It’s happened frequently enough that I’d want to do a fresh database migration on the update

The new app has issues underground which annoys me a lot since I use subways a lot but that’s ok, the data gap yesterday was a 25 minute road trip over ground
