OT: AMS google sheet technical query to the users

Post by c32tracker »

Hi folks. Not sure where to put this but this would seem like the best place for feedback (I hope the mods will excuse me this once).

To those of you that are using my google sheet for the AMS movements (and other Dutch airfields) https://goo.gl/QZ8xEM - I have a question for mobile users specifically : Are you able to see all the tabs right up to EHRD at the far right end? I've had a report from an Samsung Andriod user that the tabs are only visible to EGSS and the rest are truncated, even in landscape orientation. Is anyone else on Andriod having the issue? Also can IOS users report back to me too please.

I've been informed that there's no way to scroll right to bring the other tabs on the screen which if true seems quite ridiculous! If anyone knows how to do it please post. In the meantime one possible work-around is to load the sheet page then tap your menu button and choose 'view on desktop site'. Everything will go very small but you'll then be able to reach the end tabs and pinch-zoom to make the data readable.

I could of course just move them onto separate sheets but that means more time and effort to update them all which I don't want to do if it can be avoided.

Give me your feedback please on how it's displaying on your phones. Thanks. :D

OK thank you for the swift replies, gentlemen. That sucks then but I think I know a fairly painless way to fix this with a bit of a redesign. I'll work on it this evening.

I have the same problems on my Samsung android. The last airport visible on the tab is "EGGW"
The desktopsite works fine.

Thanks, arnoud and tonjoc. I regret that my time available to cover the current list of airports is already stretched. Over the past 48 hours I've had an endless stream of requests via PM to cover pretty much every airport and airfield in Germany, Belgium. Luxembourg and Holland, along with requests for more UK, Ireland, France, Italy, Scandinavia, Malta and Cyprus. As I've said in my replies to those people, I would be quite content to post movements for all airfields requested but unfortunately as it's a free gratis 'service' it doesn't pay my mortgage or bills and I only have a limited amount of spare time available alongside my day job.

I did think about inviting people to make donations in exchange for my time and effort if they wish for their local airfield to be covered but I doubt it's something people would be willing to fund.
