Finally finished this app release! If you want to know the details, please click the blog post below (and we make a quick video walkthrough).
The notable part for our Patreon supporters is that this update wouldn't have been done without your support. Previously we were using a mapping library in the app that used Google Maps. Google Maps usage is free in mobile apps - however, the mapping library had some problems. Try as we might over the last couple of years, we could not overcome them. The other solution was the switch to a different mapping library that uses Mapbox, which (after a free tier) is not free. It's a usage-based fee, and we estimated that we would incur charges. Without your support, we wouldn't have considered this library. We expect that our current Patreon support level will continue to fully cover our costs.
We're grateful that we were able to make this move. The new library fixes bugs, creates parity between Android and iOS, and has much better performance. It was a lot of work to transition to it (we've been working on this update since May), and was a big risk to put in the work just in case it didn't work out.
We still have a couple things to fix, and we'll get to those room. But the initial release is out! Should be rolling out to phones soon. It'll make Pinball Map better than ever!
Thanks! Ryan, Scott, and Beth
