Improved and localized error messages.

Description

This is a COMPANION APP to the Tempest Game Clock (available at tempestclock.com) A unique, tournament-style, heavy-weighted game clock that uses your own iPhone as its high definition, full color display. This app is intended only for owners of the Tempest Game Clock: a deluxe traditional form factor chess clock (using a patented precision rocker to control play during the game, not the touch screen). It pairs with this app to deliver clear analog and digital game timing with or without increments, delays, sudden death or OT time controls. Perfect for Chess, Backgammon, Go, Scrabble, Othello/Reversi, Checkers/Draughts, and other board games. Tempest features a strict TOURNAMENT MODE - which disables all phone / text functionality during rated games per FIDE and USCF guidelines. To see the clock in action and to order yours, please visit tempestclock.com.

Build 846852150v1.0.02022-01-26 09:31:16
Full Public Release version 1.0! + A variety of small layout and audio fixes. + TOURNAMENT MODE strictly enforces airplane mode: no data/calls/text possible during play per FIDE and USCF rules. + All data / phone functions are guaranteed disabled during strict "Tournament Mode". + Complex TOURNAMENT TIME CONTROLS made easy with Tournament Mode: simply Set it as you'd Say it! eg. "40 moves in 2h then 20 moves in 1h, then rest in 30 min." is not only how you'd describe the last FIDE world championships, but also this is exactly how you set Tempest, (using that same 'sentence'). We did this specifically to simplify life for Tournament Directors around. The unsung heroes of our beloved games. (see last screenshots). + 8 language audible countdowns! Traditional in Go, but optionally available in all games. Choose your language and how many seconds you want audibly counted down out loud, (including '0' if you only want to hear the period changes announced, eg. "Game Over" or "Last Byoyomi"). Default is MUTE.
Build 846471112v0.1.12022-01-08 03:11:48
+ TOURNAMENT MODE! Designed to meet all FIDE and USCF regulations and to simplify complex time control setup. First, it ensures ALL phone features are completely disabled: no texts, no calls, no WiFi, nothing. Otherwise the clocks stop until Airplane mode is on (or until user changes back to Casual mode). Next, we are introducing an incredibly simple way to set even complex tournament time control periods! Users can set up for tournament style, 3-period, FIDE time controls by simply 'building a sentence!' that describes the time controls. We've designed an innovative way to do that using a few swipes in about 5-10 seconds! Incredibly intuitive! A Tempest innovation we're sure tournament directors will love. + GAME-SPECIFIC QUICK SETTINGS. Bundles the most common settings specific to your favorite game: Chess, Backgammon, Go, and Scrabble. And keeps all other irrelevant settings out of your way. + BYO-YOMI timing for Go & Shogi! Easiest ever byoyomi clock: just swipe-to-set custom overtime periods of your choice. + AUDIBLE COUNTING FOR GO in 8 languages! Traditional in Go tournaments. Audible counting is intended, but not limited to Go. Tempest can now be set to audibly voice the last seconds of any period, or simply to announce the period changes themselves, in one of 8 languages. + BIG DELAY-TIME DISPLAY for Backgammon especially. + Expanded help section (Not that you'll need it. But it's there.) + Ready to Stream! Killer OBS feature for YouTubers and Twitchers. (the only clock that can be directly plugged into OBS, ready to add a live feed of the game clock to your live OBS streams. No additional plug-ins needed. It just works!)
