Downloaded lists wont load
So, Ive been a premium member for years on and off. The new app convinced me to renew my membership. The old app requires a lot of tinkering to load gpxs. This looked good because you could make and download lists to the app so that it would work where there is no cell service... NOT!
I took our grandkids on their first cache in WY. I couldnt get the list I downloaded to show up. It kept "loading." Finally, we got a bit of service and it showed up. All 13 caches were readable so we started off. We found the 1st cache. While I was logging the paper in the cache, my phone went to sleep. When I opened it, the lists were gone and wouldnt reload. End of day, much to the disappointment on the grandkids.
Do NOT depend on this if you are out of cell range. This app is not ready for prime time - lots of glitches and issues. Ive enjoyed geocaching for over 10 years, but had gotten out of it until my grandkids got ready to go. They love it, but we do forest and remote caches. Ill just have to find another solution.
Three weeks ago I took another set of grandkids caching in a large park. Their parent signed up for an account, but because they didnt pay, only 1 of the 5 we found showed up for them. Shame!
