PSA: the official app is showing incorrect point totals (sometimes)

By gadwag, in X-Wing

The official app has a bug causing it to display incorrect point totals. Individual points in the app are correct, but the final total is not. It appears that the total value may be based on pre-january points. To make matters worse, this is an intermittent issue that doesn't always happen.

Solution: use the PDF or another squad builder such as raithos.github.io. I ran the same test suite many times on all the builders and only the official one has this issue.

For those who use squad2xws, Zach has already updated it to fix this issue, but still - don't use the official squad builder if you can help it.

Yeah, I almost got done by that while judging an event this weekend just gone. Competitor's list came out over 200 when loaded in from the official app; had to rebuild it in YASB to get it right.

The problem doesn't seem to affect the browser-based version, only the mobile app.

(I'm always a little bit surprised to find out that people use the official app.)

I'm proud of you all that do, though. Soldier on.

Like the rag-tag, ill-equipped unit that you are.

Apps are built on hope.

(As in, I hope the next one is better.)

haha I certainly hope the next one is better.

I would love to be using the official version if it worked almost as well as LBN.

Zach and I were seeing bad data coming from the API itself, meaning that it's an inherent issue in both the web and mobile apps - the web version may just happen to not display that number to users

I find it the opposite, my I phone lists are correct and it is the browser that is bad. In my case it only happens when I build a squad with the rogue E-Wing. But today it seemed to develop a new problem, all of the hyperspace lists are now listed as custom lists?
