App Feedback

ok so i dont think anyone has mentioned this yet, but a zoom feature would be super useful. Idk about you guys but my phone screen is not very large and I can barely make out any writing on, for example, maps of areas.
Thanks
George

Does anyone actually respond to concerns stated in this thread or os it just a place to make developers aware of issues? Still having problems syncimg anything on the android app

Thanks for all the hard work on the app!

Love the iphone app, one minor issue came up with the new update - the "My To Do's" list on the phone is now sorted alphabetically, whereas on the site (and previously on the phone) I have it organized by area. Anyway to fix the order/organization of the list on the phone?

Thanks again!

Yep, we wait for a bunch of feedback and then try to fix a few things at a time. We just released a minor Android update that we're hoping fixes:
- a bunch of small bugs
- the ability to move the app to the SD card
- the problem with bookmarks not saving

The Android update is here

First of all I'm using the Android version 1.1 build 13. So far I like the app but have a few questions recommendations.

Is there a list of known issues/planned enhancements?

Are there plans to include location of the phone to let you know where the start of a climb is?

When looking at a climb in an area it would be nice to be able to swipe left and right to scroll through all of the routes instead of having to hit back every time and then tap the next route.

Are there plans to integrate the search button on Android phones?

Is there anyway to search routes by type? Like multi pitch or bouldering etc.?

Thanks again for all of the wonderful work you've put into this and the time you'll continue to invest.

I agree with Nick, I have this problem on one device (Nook Tablet running CM7), but not another (HTC HD2 Android phone running CM7). Re-install didn't seem to fix the problem.

Great app. Couple things I've noticed:

1. If the FA party/information is too long, it gets cut off, and there is no "Tap to see more/less" option.

2. I realize this probably has to do with whichever stock controls were used (I'm a coder, but not an iOS dev), but URLs/links do not work. Can be frustrating when the text is something along the lines of "see this fantastic topo here", with here being a hyperlink. (Although I suppose, to be fair, if I don't have internet access and I'm browsing on the app, I'm S.O.L. for this anyway, and if I DO have internet access, I can always login to the real version of the site.)

For some reason, I'm no longer able to "get more" areas with the android app. When I try and go there, the page comes up blank. This used to work.

I screwed up the data with our server move last night. It's rebuilding now and should done this evening.

Some route information is on the website, but not available for download to the iPhone. A specifc example is Spring Mountain in Oregon. Why is this?

Josh, that area is working fine for me. In the app, I tapped Get More Areas, then Oregon, then installed North Eastern Oregon. Spring Mountain is in there.

Thanks, Nick. That's a super odd way of classifying, but I found it. Appreciate the beta.

Well it classified as an exact mirror of the web site... hopefully making it easy to find things!

In the latest App, with the addition of the Forum within the App, I have found that you cannot side scroll when a line of text causes the window to expand outside of viewable area.

On the iPad update, which looks great, if you click on classic climbs for an area, none of my star ratings show up. It would be nice to look at an area and see my ratings so I can easily identify a climb what I have or have not done

No we didn't Steve. Not all areas have sorting information, and you must have been in one of those locations. We started collecting sort information about a year ago, and currently about 40,000 routes (half) are sorted so far.

This database is entirely built by community at large. We don't have complete information for everywhere.

It would be nice to be able to search the forums. You guys working on that?

Agreed Jake.

On my Ipad2 if I try to read the forums through the app it cuts the right side off with no way to scroll over to see it.

I'd like to see a route rating option on the app. Not for stars, but for rating climb difficulty, ie 5.9, etc. that's all.
