Ahhh I see, that makes a lot of sense, thanks for clarifying and I agree, not using my phone for that period of time would be difficult, that's why I keep my laptop on my for use on the bus (yeah, I'm one of those weird bus laptop people) - I might install this and see how much I can screw around with it (all in the name of improvement of course) for instance, can I sandbox this so it doesn't know when I use my phone, etc.
One major issue I have is this - internet coverage isn't perfect (I don't know about the US but it sure sucks in the UK when you're in the country!) so surely disconnecting for a few minute while you go over a hill, etc, would be detrimental to your points. Personally, if I cared enough about this application not to use my phone, I would probably check it out of paranoia to see if the loss of internet in rural areas lost me points and it wold actually be a negative impact, so with this in mind, how do you handle lag / disconnection / poor coverage?
Of course, these are edge cases, but important ones which could lose you custom in the long term.

- shanelja 14y agoOh I see, so the points are stored locally then uploaded to your server? Definitely going to download this and see what I can mess around with then, would love to see if I can inject a ridiculously long route and have it run 24/7 to trick it in to thinking I'm simply the most amazing driver and rack up points then upload the route and drop you an email when I'm worth a few thousand dollars worth of gift cards. :)
