The phone app is a real app now, plus blocks, reports, and account deletion

Two days after the last notes, the Android app and a few house rules caught up.

The app stays in the app

The Play Store app used to open Chrome. It now opens the site full screen: splash, then sign-in, with no browser bar. The phone’s notification strip is hidden so you can tap Menu. Swipe down from the top if you need the clock.

If a table is wider than the phone — the Rounds list at the bottom of Home is the usual one — that box scrolls sideways. The rest of the page does not.

Search Rudy’s Archery Tracking on Google Play, or keep using the website on any phone.

Block someone

On a profile, or next to a friend, you can Block. That unfriends you, stops requests both ways, and hides each other’s profiles. Club rosters and tournament standings stay as they are so a shoot still works.

You cannot block a site admin, or an admin of a club you belong to. Unblock from Menu → Friends → Blocked.

Report abuse

On a profile there is Report this person (harassment, cheating, hate, spam, impersonation, or other). I always get that report. If they are in a club, that club’s owner and club admins get an email too, and they see it on the club page. They can remove the member. Only I can turn the account off.

You can still report a blog post or a scorecard the same way as before.

Delete your account

Google Play requires a public page for this, and it is the right thing anyway.

Request account deletion — you do not have to be signed in. Enter the username and email. I process requests within 30 days. Profile, personal rounds and photos, friends, and trophies go away. Tournament or league scores may remain as an anonymized “Deleted account” so standings stay honest.

The same link is in the footer, Privacy, Terms, and Account.

If something in the app still feels like a browser, kill it and reopen so it picks up the latest site. Email me from the address on your account if a piece is broken.
