This is a general iOS bug that has been around in iOS for quite a while. If you google "iOS status bar disappears" you will find many pages on this topic.

Sadly, it is very random and Apple doesn't seem to want to fix it yet.

has anyone tested it?

Yes, we tested it extensively and released updates for iOS 15 compatibility.

But I would like a different text depending on the TB.
I would like to make a different log depending on the TB on the CM, NC cloth badge, and coin used. They all have other purposes.

You are meaning a log text template for unique trackables? You can create a text template that can be manually inserted in this case.

It would also help if you could mark TBs, which should always be used for a visit.

This is what the new auto-visit feature in 7.0 is for. Have you used this?

+1

This feature was added in our 7.0 release.

It would also be great to configure a default log text for a TB that you can use when needed, which is not part of the default log TBs. For example, I don't drive with my CM to every Cache. But if I do, I would like to enable the TB with his default log text and not the template text.

You can create Text Templates for trackables, have you tried this? You can also create a text template that isn't tied to a log type, and insert that when you choose.

It would be nice if completed lab caches could also get a smiley face. 

This is a limitation of the geocaching.com API, which will be fixed in the future.

Currently, you can long press on the AL cache and choose to set as found.

I logged out and back in a week ago and it’s been fine since then until today. But now it’s happened again

Not sure what the issue could be. Often it seems like an API issue with authentication.

If I go into personal note, and click the "+" sign at the bottom, and choose "take photo", the photo screen comes up blank, as in totally black. It will allow me to choose a photo from the library, and it will work with the native camera app with no problem.

At some point, did you not allow Cachly camera permissions? Look in the iOS Settings for Cachly (scroll down to it) then see if you have allowed Camera permissions.

Also still have issues with trying to use course up in landscape mode with the same ipad

Was this the issue that I think you reported previously?

Will have to look into this idea. I think the text of a notification is limited in length.

Sadly this is an iOS 15 bug. I have reported it to Apple, so I hope they will get it fixed.

Funny enough, it was a bug in iOS 13 and they fixed it after I reported. it.  

I think a large change like this would confuse a lot of users. This functionality has been in Cachly since 1.0.

Great suggestion! Thanks!

Thanks, this bug hasn't been fixed yet, but will in an upcoming version. Thanks.

This is strange and shouldn't be happening. What is your GC username?

Also, have you tried logging out and then back in to see if this fixes the issue?

I just downloaded GC2A9HP gpx from Safari into "Files" then long pressed the file, tapped share, chose Cachly and tried to import into a new off-line list. Only difference from the screen shots I posted earlier is the on-screen message states "Importing" rather than "Processing" ... the 'wheel' is not spinning now. I do manage to import individual caches via the other means you mentioned, but it would be good if this worked too.

I just tested these exact steps, and they worked correctly for me and GC2A9HP was imported into Cachly. Not sure how else to replicate this issue...

Planning to add this very soon. Thanks!

Thanks for reporting this, it has been fixed. Please try downloading the map again.

 I tried to set up waypoints for parking and trail information but apparently waypoints can’t be created for custom caches. I am not sure why there is a limitation on this but could the app support multiple custom waypoints in the future ?   

Yes, this is a current limitation. Hoping to get this added in a future version.

I found this site that will process the Adventure Labs into GPX:  https://gcutils.de/lab2gpx/

Yes, something like that will work. The official AL API we use does not support stages.

Currently geocaching.com Drafts are not shown in Cachly. Reason being, the majority of Cachly users would use Pending Logs (saved in Cachly until you are ready to submit) or if they do submit a Draft, they will finish it on their computer since they prefer the larger keyboard.

We have considered adding it in a future version, but we honestly have never had one user ask about this until now.

No, I don't have plans to import these .txt files into Cachly. You can however export .txt files from Pending Logs for uploading to geocaching.com.

Are you using the Garmin and Cachly?

No, there isn't a way to bulk apply a template. However in the future you can make a template just for event Attended logs.

And drafts is something in Settings I can just set as default? Currently I just unclick "Send now" and "Save" the log, which only saves to the iPhone. 

Yes, you can set the Drafts option as a log default. In a future version I hope to have geocaching.com Drafts show up in Cachly so that users can finishing them there instead of the website.

Pending logs are local to your device and aren’t something that sync. You could use Drafts that save to geocaching.com but you would have to finish those on the website. 
 

Hope this helps.

Just one last glimmer of hope - the ‘Personal Logs’ that I wrote won’t be cached anywhere will they?

 When I reload the AdLabs from a new gpx, Cachly remembers which stages were found, but obviously not the other data (or highlights). 

Sadly no. Those personal notes were saved in the SQLite database. The found status for Adventures is saved in another place that doesn't get deleted.

I just tested this workflow to see if there was a bug, but I wasn't able to replicate this. My AL caches were still in the second list.

That being said, no, unfortunately there is not a way to recover deleted caches.
