What's new
- All Series filter. See everything racing today, not just the series you follow. Open the Schedule tab and switch the series filter to All. The request to add this came directly from you, keep them coming!
- Add to Calendar and Remove from Calendar. Drop a whole race weekend into your personal calendar in one tap, and pull it back out just as easily. Also requested by multiple users.
- Better share cards. Sharing an event or series now produces a cleaner caption and a QR code that sends whoever you send it to straight to the right app store for their phone.
- 15 new series, including USAC Sprint Car and Midget, USF Pro 2000, USF2000, FIA European Rallycross, Super DIRTcar, CARS Tour, NLS, Supercars Endurance, & more.
- A batch of performance and bug fixes.
How to use the calendar export
On any event detail page, tap the calendar icon in the header, next to Share. Accept calendar permissions and select which calendar you want it to link to. This can be updated in settings later. Full calendar access is necessary to write multiple sessions at once and remove duplicates/events from your calendar. We're not viewing/touching/storing anything else on your calendar.
It only adds the sessions matching your current Sessions filter. So if you only want the races and not every practice, set that filter first, then export.
Already added it? The popup changes. Instead of exporting again blindly, it offers Re-export (which overwrites the old entries, so you never get duplicates) or Remove from Calendar (which pulls the whole weekend back out).
It's good practice to re-export events as close to the event occurring as possible. the calendar isn't automatically syncing with the app, the export is a snapshot in time of how the sessions we're scheduled in the app when you exported, they change often leading up to events. A series often publishes 3 or 4 versions of a timetable as session times get refined, FullGrid updates these automatically, your personal calendar does not. So, if you want the most accurate times, don't forget to re-export. I tried to make it as easy as possible to do.
Good to know (a couple of quirks)
Google Calendar on Android can lag about a minute. If you use the Google Calendar app, an added weekend may take up to a minute to appear, and a removed one may linger briefly before it clears. That's because Google Calendar shows Google's server state, not your phone's local calendar, so it waits for a sync round trip. Samsung Calendar and iOS show the change instantly. Nothing is broken and nothing is lost. It catches up on its own.
Sessions marked TBD can't be added to the calendar yet. If a round's timetable isn't fully published, the app won't export it, since you'd just get placeholder times. You'll see a short explainer. Once the official timetable is out (usually a week or two before the round), the event becomes exportable.
Feedback and bug reports welcome. Thanks for using FullGrid.
