This update is for visitors at fairs and large venues. You scan a QR code on a stand or a sign, a page opens in your phone's browser, and you ask where to go, what is on and when it opens. That page now shows the venue's texts in a language you can read, keeps each answer in view, and reads well on a phone held either way.
The venue's texts in a language you can read
The page's own buttons and messages follow the language you choose. The venue's name, its places, its sample questions and its fault categories are written by the venue, and when it had not written them in your language, they appeared in the venue's own language. Now, if the venue has them in English, they appear in English, so a visitor from abroad can read them and tap a sample question they understand.
Each answer stays in view
After an answer, the page now scrolls with the conversation. The button that shows the place on the floor plan and the follow-up questions stay in view instead of sitting under the message box, and starting a new question takes you back to the top.
Made for the phone in your hand
- Held upright, the line under the venue's name is shown in full, not cut off halfway.
- In right-to-left languages, the sample questions read the right way round.
- Turned sideways, the conversation has more room between the header and the message box.
- The check that makes sure a person, not a bot, is asking starts as the page opens.
- Report a fault opens at its heading, without a menu popping up over the form on an iPhone.
Also in this update
- A new ToRun Originals episode opens by itself at the hour it was announced for, on torun.ai and in the app, and until then it appears only as coming soon. The next one is PAWS Episode 5, Dino World, on Wednesday 11 November at 20:30 Istanbul time.
