The Grand Poohbah:
What's New in WeatherCatRCP 1.0 (180216)

- Provide better status information when getting data from the WeatherCat 3 server.
- Improve the likelihood of success when doing a connection re-try.
- Restore the last-seen screen even when app is killed in the background (It had always defaulted to the Settings screen. Thanks to staze for catching this one.)
- Did some behind the scenes preparation for localization.

Do an update install. A clean install is not required.

I have installed this iOS RCP beta through Test Flight on my 8+ and on my Series 2 Watch. Working great so far. I can confirm the last screen seen function works as advertised, and it is a nice improvement over defaulting to Settings.

 Thanks for the update.

Dear Grand, Blick, Paul, and WeatherCat iOS users,

Sorry, really slammed for time these days.  This was my first chance to install the upgrade.  The only issue is that it took forever to download from Apple.  I made a quick tour of the application and everything looks in good order on my iPhone 6.

Thanks Grand for a really neat app!!  [tup]

Cheers, Edouard  [cheers1]

I have 2 questions.

1. In the System Data screen, it is displaying Comms Status as 1, but I have a Tag in one of my reports, COMMSFAILFLAG$, that is displaying 0. I thought these two things were the same, but apparently they are not. Can you please explain the difference?

2. When I tried to load my Classic screen, it showed no information, but just under the Screen Title where it normally says "Checking" it displayed the word "Status." The rest of the screen was blank. I waited for 60 seconds and the screen appeared to be locked up. I couldn't tap out of it so I killed the app and reopened it. This time the Classic screen displayed the word, "Locked" and the rest of the screen was blank. However, I could tap out out of the screen, so I went to channels to make sure I was still connected. When I returned to Classic, it froze again whilst displaying "Checking." I had to kill the app again. I can connect to Classic just fine on Local, but it freezes if I am connected to my IP address on the Internet setting. I reproduced this whole scenario twice. Any advice?

Thanks.
