No luck, same thing. This screenshot is Firefox. The prior one was Safari. This in on an iPhone 12 Mini. On my regular computer it works fine. Only on mobile is the issue.

I sent this to the developer. Hopefully it can be improved.
I wonder if there was something specific going on there? I've used it for tournaments I've participated in for about 4 months now, and while its slow, its about 5-8 seconds from the time you push the score button until the score updates. Nowhere near 30 sec. (Still, 5 sec stinks...).

I wonder if it's their hosting platform that is the speed issue? I use CAD software that is browser based in the cloud, and it's just as fast as if it was local software. It runs on Amazon cloud servers. There are streaming games too that are about as fast as local games (although I have not personally played them for a first hand account). And google sheets you could have 1000 people with the same spreadsheet open, and it will update the changes in real time for all users.
Likely the case. Maybe it is home-brew.
When inputing scores, 5 seconds is an eternity, especially if you are playing straight pool. You press "plus 1" and nothing happens. You press it again. And again. And then something happens. This could be solved by putting some smarts locally, like in an app, but evidently everything happens at DP central and is simply displayed remotely.
The 30 seconds I mentioned was at the UK Open. The arena had fairly fast internet bitrates, but I'm not sure what the latency was. If it had to talk to DP central in Minnesota, I can imagine there was some delay. The 30 seconds was to get a full page, like the match listing. Nothing would happen for a long, long time when trying to view the page.
Were you guys putting the point scores in digital pool? Meaning having to press that button 150 times per match for one player?
I never operated the notepad but not quite. There was a 10 key, so if you run a rack: 10 (wait six seconds), 1 1 1 (wait six seconds) last 1 (wait to make sure).
The designers may have figured that each ball would be recorded when pocketed.
Yikes. I figured it would just record win/loss of the match. Yeah I’d go mad if using this to record straight pool scores!I never operated the notepad but not quite. There was a 10 key, so if you run a rack: 10 (wait six seconds), 1 1 1 (wait six seconds) last 1 (wait to make sure).

Although I have never had to use DigitalPool on the level of a TD. IMO, it is the best online bracket/stats system going for players. My only gripe is how slow the continued development has been. It's on pace with the Fargo app in that regard.
I don't need to dig beyond the 'Performance' tab to view my "Effective Rating" based on tournament, to say that it's the best thing since sliced bread. However the bells and whistles are everywhere. Unfortunately the mobile version has left much to be desired, but that's merely a skin development hoop they have yet to jump through.
