Do not worry about getting the time exactly right. Close enough is fine, and you can fix it later.
The Timing page is the first page you see when you start a full spin log. At the top of the screen a small line tells you which page you are on, for example Step 1 of 15.
These steps are the same on iPhone and Android.
Opening the full spin log
- Tap the Log tab at the bottom of the screen.
- Tap the big Log Spin card at the top ("Tap to start").
- The Timing page opens.
The one-tap shortcut
Near the top there is a coloured banner that says Tap now: fill in later.
If you are in the middle of a spin, tap it. VertigoMe saves a spin straight away with the start time set to now, and takes you back to the Home screen. You can put the phone down. Everything else can be added when you feel better.
The banner only appears when you start a new log. It is not shown when you are editing a spin you already saved.
The spin timer
Below the banner is a stopwatch card.
- Tap Begin spin when the spin starts. The card says Spin in progress and the clock starts counting.
- Tap End spin when it stops. The card says Spin ended and the clock shows how long it lasted.
As soon as the timer has a start time, a card with Start and End (optional) appears underneath so you can see the times that were saved.
Setting the times by hand
If the spin happened earlier, you do not need the timer.
- Tap Edit times manually below the timer.
- Tap the Start row. On iPhone a date and time wheel appears. On Android a date picker opens first, then a time picker.
- Pick the day and time the spin began.
- If it is already over, tap End (optional) and pick when it stopped.
Once both times are set, a line such as Duration: 45m 0s appears so you can check it looks right. Times in the future are not allowed. If you pick a later time today, it is set to now.
If you do not know the exact time, pick the closest hour. VertigoMe looks for patterns over weeks and months, not minutes.
Exercises and eye clips
Two optional cards sit on this page:
- Exercises offers the Epley, Semont or BBQ roll manoeuvre to counter this spin. The exercise is saved on this spin's log. Exercises are part of Premium.
- Record my eyes films a short video of your eyes for your doctor. The clip stays on this phone only. Recording is part of Premium. Clips you have already filmed can still be played, shared and deleted.
Moving on
- Tap Next at the bottom of the screen.
- You go to Paint the picture.
To leave the wizard, tap the × in the top-right corner. Nothing is saved until you tap the save button on the Review page at the end (the Tap now: fill in later banner is the one exception, because it saves straight away).
If the date pickers do not open
- Tap directly on the Start or End (optional) row.
- Wait a second. The picker can take a moment the first time.
- If nothing happens, close the app fully, open it again and try once more.
