Maxithlon App

(14:00 20-02-2013)
Following the announcement of the upcoming Maxithlon App, which will be released in the next weeks and continuously developed during the whole 2013, let's see the details:

The Platforms
Android and iOS are the first choices. The App will run both on smartphones and tablets, adapting to the wide variety of available display resolutions. Blackberry and Windows Mobile were not considered so far. Nevertheless an implementation for those systems could be developed upon request of a considerable number of users.

The Application
The Application will be developed in a 2 stage process both for Android and iOS. The first phase will provide basic features to read Maxithlon data. The access will be granted by actual Username and Password. This choice has been made to build a stable base for phase 2, that will involve the release of many features to manage the team.
The App will support all the languages of Maxithlon and will provide offline caching capabilities in order to speed up web connection.

Work in Progress
So far the App core is working and available and the implementation of the Graphic Interface is being finalized.
So far these are the main features:
- View detailed team information
- View all athletes and results
- View coaches pool and the athletes they are currently training
- View season Calendar and search Competitions using filters

Release Date
By the end of this month a preliminary version of the Application will be released to a small group of beta-testers in order to be refined. Public release of version 1.0 (for phase 1) is scheduled by the second half of March.
