Today I submitted my first iOS application. It was more for fun and see if I was still able to code after 15 years of management. It still needs to go under review, I guess it will be available in a week or so in the app store.
So I wrote a small application for squash ghosting session. If you are looking to try it, search for “Ghost Squash” in the app store.
You could reply to this post if you have any suggestions for improvement.
I just got done trying the app. My only complaint so far is the volume. It’s hard to hear the commands. Maybe you could incorporate some type of visual on the screen to let me know which way to go? Thanks

Hi Thom,
I’ve fixed the volume issue in version 1.1, you can update your version. For the visual indicator, I’ll probably do it at a later time when I will have time.

I like the program but the volume is screwed up so you can’t hear the commands. Can you fix it? That would be great. Thanks.

Hi Kim,
Thanks for your comment.
Which version of Squash Ghost are you running? I’ve fixed a volume issue in version 1.1 (available since this week), if you still have version 1.0, update the application.
If you are using version 1.1, could you tell me which device and version of iOS you are running on?
Stephane.

I don’t know if you’re still working with this app, but I thought it was wonderful. Unfortunately, there’s no sound with the newer iPhones. I’m hoping you’ll be able to update and fix this as I would love to use this app again!

Hi Paul,
It’s been a while I haven’t touch the application. I had a volume problem in the earlier version, but from your description I doubt it is the problem you’re seeing. What’s the iPhone model you’re using? I’ll try to find one somewhere and reproduce the problem, then I will fix it.

That would be wonderful. I am using an iPhone 7 with iOS 10.2.1.

Hi Stéphane,
Have been using your app for years… it’s still always amazing and super helpful. Recently, I had my iPhone repaired after a break and the screen is very sensitive. This causes problems using the app as now when I’m ghosting the phone will often leave the app or exit out of the ghosting mode. I was wondering whether it would be possible to set up the app in such a way that it would still work with the screen turned off, that you would be able to start a ghosting session and then click the power button so as not to upset the screen. I’m not sure if you’re still checking this page or working on the app, but just thought I’d give it a try.
Thank you and thanks so much for this wonderful app!

Hi Julian,
It’s been a while I haven’t touch the app. I’m still using it but I’m not really planing to modify it. I’m assuming you have your phone in your pocket when you are doing ghosting. One small suggestion is you can use bluetooth headsets and leave your phone at the back (or front) of the court, like this your phone will not detect that you touch the screen and interrupt the ghosting session.

Thank you for the response Stéphane,
I was thinking of this as well. I totally understand your not planning on modifying the app. Thanks again for making it!
