I regularly use the Practice Assistant, i was suspicious of how accurately it is recorded the stats, and today I checked and it is not adding up time for items completed correctly, is this a known issue?
Sometimes on completing an item you get to enter the time and for some it just goes to the next item, which is odd, nut if completed I would expect the time on the Item to be used in the stats.
If you look at the screen prints below for today and add up the times for each item you can use it does not match the Stats.
I abandoned this tool in part because if I didn’t hit reset every day, I would get data that looks like yours. I just never thought to hit reset until I was part way into practice, so I often got weird results.
Noted and reported! I believe this may be a known issue that has come up before, but I’ve passed it along to the dev team so they can take another look and see if there’s a quick fix available.
Thanks for flagging it, and thanks for including the details!
I use the practice assistant a ton and I mean I really use it. I do not use the stats. They never have worked right for me. So because of that, I dont set anything in the stats line for any of my new excersizes. After reading the OP first comment I am not sure what type of stat to try here if I did. For example:
If I added picking to alternate picking practice, would I add Picking to the stat line for my arpeggio practices? What about the different melodic sequences? Or would that just stay in the scale stat? Lots of crossover. Will it cover 2 different stats?
Yeah, I am not really a numbers cruncher type of guy. I either suck or I dont.
I sort of judge my length of practice based on my finger soreness at the end of the day. Probobly not the best way.
So I guess all and all, it would be cool if it worked but not really a big deal, I am super thankful to have an organized way to keep all my excersizes set up in routines where it is all listed and straight. Thats the most important thing for me.
Yes I agree stats are not everyone’s bag, but being able to see how much time you have or have not devoted to a song, technique or routine can highlight areas that are being missed or are troublesome. The level of granularity will depend on the individuals level of OCD I think, therefore I am, I think.
I think the time zone stuff is usually going to be on the client side of the network or how ever they call that. So what ever my computer says the time is on my local server. Or maybe not. Thats what some one told me recently on a different site.
Definitely cool for positive affirmations and I would be useful to see if you tend to skip certain things.
