Maybe I am misunderstanding your point - I am able to switch pages without losing the voice. I have multiple screen recordings with the voice announcements that show this.
I’m sorry but this hasn’t been my experience at all with two launches at LDRS39 where I had especially needed to have Featherweight iFIP voice announcements.
And any instruction manual assistance on how use the iPhone get “screen recordings” of the iFIP app is non-existent.
Beyond this particular discussion thread I haven’t been able to find any semblance of a user’s group that presents these tricks on how to get more out of the Featherweight iFIP app.
Instead, my experience with the Featherweight iFIP app is that it behaves like an early, single-threaded DOS or Windows 3.1 app of 30 years ago with the only thing that it is aware of is in the displayed page that has focus. And this behavior of an app on a multi-tasking, high performance platform like an iPhone is contrary to the multiple simultaneous uses that most people use their iPhones for.
You really seem to be stuck on the voice call outs. Calling a software limitation a 'gotcha' seems unfair.
Ignoring your condescending wording, as a customer of Featherweight who has been given the expectation by its online advertising of the software operating in a certain manner, its not at all unfair to express dissatisfaction when it fails to work that way.
I have several Eggfinder gps modules and an Eggfinder receiver that works perfectly fine for finding the L2 rockets that I have. What I really needed the Featherweight system for was for its voice features that were similar to the Multitronix Kate system but for only 25% of the cost.
I’m not begrudging Adrian Adamson his great regular job at Deep Space Systems, designing avionics for interplanetary satellites and the high-definition camera system for NASA's Orion spacecraft.
I too have had to balance having a real, income-generating professional job while trying to start up a second company with an electronics instrument I developed, along with the required support software and customer support. And I sympathize that its almost an impossible task.
But I’m now wearing the hat of a not-fully satisfied customer and I only want the same thing that I would be requesting from any other company.
I still regard the Featherweight as great hardware, and its overall integration with the iPhone to be quite responsive. I just need to get the voice call-outs working reliably. And unlike the great customer support that I’ve gotten from Cris Irving at Eggtimer Rocketry, I’ve found the customer support from Featherweight to be nonexistent for resolving problems.
