I suppose everyone will have their ideas of ideal formats. Being able to easily switch between raw & adjusted pace figs & fractions-

Used timeformus this weekend and loved it....I'm a little confused on certain things......
Clicking on each horse is a little much....a scroll down would be awesome
Also the pace projector......can you just go off of that?
I gotta watch the review video
I'll buy it again this weekend....
What are the most important things to look for?

My opinion, the scroll vs click just takes getting used to at first. I didn't like it, now I don't even notice. Pace Projector isn't perfect, but it does a really good job. They idea is to save time handicapping the pace scenario. It does as good a job as most handicappers can do and does so instantly.
The colored (blue = slow, red = fast) fractions or pace figures tell you instantly a race featured an extreme pace scenario. The race rating is color coded for days that were possibly speed biased. While it never will be perfect, if there is no color, there almost certainly wasn't a speed or closer bias. And, of course, the figures.

The figures are off the hook.....
Vividly remember hawking the figs over your fathers shoulder in tycoons and seeing the highest number blitz the field at 6/1

Yes no doubt, the figs are as easily as good as T Graph , and the Sheets at a fraction of the cost.

Putting the grandsire in the PPs might help. Sometimes I have no idea who the sire is, so knowing the grandsire gives me more confidence if it's a familiar one.

Skeptically, I would want a rider I know is aggressive in that situation.

It isn't available yet, but it is coming. For now you do have lifetime PPs to scroll through in that spot.

I don't know specifics, something to do with the studio upgrade last week. It isn't an issue on my end. Hopefully video is back for next week, though I'm not sure why anybody would want to see my mug.

I used to think the same way. Until I started doing video calls and google hangouts. There is a whole different feel to video wherein you can read body language and facial expression. It adds a different element to the information. It's kind of hard to put your finger on it. But it does enhance the experience in my opine.
Take it from a guy who definitely has a face made for radio, video provides a little extra. Low light helps.......
