Map currently doesn't usually match actual GPS outside to map location. Also, update speed is likely too slow (10-20 seconds). Ideally a target of every 1-2 seconds would be good.

It would be cool if the flags could be identified by phones set so both teams have permission to see them, This would require some special identifier. Not necessary, but would be a great enhancement that shouldn't be too hard to execute?

Map currently only updates if the app is active.

It would be nice if there was a referee mode that could see all player locations and chats. This isn't important to us playing but seems like it could enhance the commercial value of the app.

The chat window should always show the most current statements first. Currently, it doesn't scroll and stays at the top I think.

It would be nice if the map automagically localized the bounds of the window to either the playing field (predefined) or perhaps better, to the bounding box of the area occupied by other people on the same team?

Doesn't currently seem to be a big issue, but wanted to keep a note about it. Different phones were impacted differently during the test on 7/8.

It would be nice to have an indicator of connection status. I've been disconnected a few times I think and couldn't tell if this was actually true. Adding an indicator would allow better troubleshooting of connection issues as well!

It would actually be nice if voice chat was somehow voice-to-text converted into the chat room. Or if there was an option to do that. I've never actually used combined voice/text rooms, so I'm not sure of best practices, but in principle, it makes some sense. Text chat is probably distracting in a quickly paced game.

I have no idea if this even matters, but it might be relevant at some point to know much data the app uses on a phone vs. server.

Though I've realized that this probably only practically works if the flag's location is known to everyone to begin with.

It would be nice if you could tell who was who just by looking at the map. Alternatively (but less good), it would be ok to tell that based on clicking on people.

It would nice to make it easy to default or switch between satellite and topographic map modes.
