4. Account & synchronization

4.1 Your username

Open the menu and tap your identity block at its top (it reads "Not connected · Sign in" while signed out) to reach the "User" page. Your display name sits at its top, under a disc with your initial — it is also your shooter name on result cards and on the challenge leaderboards. While you still carry the default name, a gold "Choose your name" chip invites you to pick one.

Once signed in, tap the pencil next to the name to edit it in place (field "Username", caption "Visible to other shooters and on leaderboards"); the name is saved when you leave the field, and an empty field keeps the previous name. Without an account the name cannot be edited — it is set when you sign in.

4.2 Using the app without an account

The app is fully usable without signing in. On first launch it creates a private device profile: sessions, series, shots and settings are recorded under that profile and synchronized to the cloud for safekeeping, but they are tied to this device installation.

You will want a Fastmark account when you need any of:

  • the same data on several devices (phone + tablet, or a new phone);
  • watching a series live from a second device (§4.5);
  • sharing events with other account holders;
  • the challenges (chapter 12) — the leaderboards carry your username, so they require an account;
  • supervisor mode (chapter 9) — supervisor access is granted to an account, so it requires one.

4.3 Signing in

User page with the email field

Signing in uses a one-time code by email — there is no password.

  1. On the User page (§4.1), the "Sign in" card ("Find your series, statistics and challenges on all your devices.") holds an "Email" field: enter your address and tap "Send code" (requires internet — offline the button is disabled and the card reads "Needs internet access, please disconnect from target network if needed").
  2. The card now reads "Enter the code sent to the email": check your inbox and type the 6-digit code into the code boxes. The "Resend code" button re-sends it after a 60-second cooldown (it counts down as "Resend code (59 s)").
  3. The card shows "Checking the code…", then "Login success" — or "Wrong code", in which case type the code again.
  4. On success a full-screen dialog — "Downloading your data…", with a progress bar, its percentage and the line "Your series and settings are coming to this device." — covers the switch to the account's data. It cannot be dismissed and closes by itself when the download completes; the home screen then shows the account's history.

Signed-in accounts also get a "Shooter select" card on the User page with the "Show my code" button — the share code that lets another account add you as a shooter in their sessions (§9.3).

At the bottom of the page, "Logout" returns the app to the device profile (the same download dialog runs while the device profile's data is restored). Both buttons need internet.

4.4 Deleting your account

"Delete account" at the bottom of the User page (requires internet) deletes your account immediately — there is no confirmation step — and the app returns to the device profile; the button then reads "Account deleted". Signing in with the same email address later starts a fresh, empty account — the deleted account's data is not recoverable.

4.5 Several devices — master and viewers

When a series runs, exactly one device is in charge:

  • The device that starts a series is its master: it drives the targets, receives the shots, computes the scores, and owns the stop/next/replay controls.
  • Every other device signed in to the same account (or subscribed to the same event) shows the series live, read-only: shots and scores appear as they are synchronized. Viewer devices keep their back arrow and have no action button.

Automatic opening: when a series starts in a session you can see — started from another of your devices, or by the owner of an event you are subscribed to — the app jumps to the live series screen by itself. It does so at most once per session: if you close the live view, it does not re-open for the same session. (In passive mode this is filtered to a single target — see §9.6.)

4.6 Offline first — how synchronization behaves

  • Everything works offline: creating sessions, shooting, scoring, editing, notes. All data is written to the device instantly.
  • Whenever a connection is available, changes upload in the background and other devices receive them. No user action is ever needed; there is no sync button and no "unsaved" state.
  • Internet is required only for: the very first launch, signing in and out, deleting the account, and receiving data from other devices.

4.7 Supervisor access on your account

Supervisor access — the right to drive several shooters and several targets from one device — is granted by Fastmark on your account, together with the list of your registered targets (Club 55 only). The "Supervisor mode" group on the User page shows the current status:

  • "Valid until " while the access is active, or "No active subscription" without it;
  • with access, an expandable "Registered targets: " list — one switch per registered target serial, used by passive mode (§9.6).

To obtain or extend supervisor access, contact Fastmark. Chapter 9 covers what it unlocks.
