    I agree with that.  I didn't mean to kill TheGreenTroll's original suggestion though.

    Nic Hubbard reacted to wwbd in Log Text keywords   
    I like the Log Text  feature but it would be nice to have multiple selections to choose from when logging finds. Also, when logging a DNF or anything other than "Found It" the default Log Text should be disabled, or if implemented, give you the option to choose from one of the other multiple selections. People are probably not saying the same things when DNFing a cache vs when Finding it. I also like to put my find count in the Log Text and obviously I don't need that when I'm not finding it and it is in fact adding a find to the counter because I guess Cachly must just see all logs as an addition to the counter.
    Thanks for the hard work you put into this. I've been using it exclusively since 2.0 came out.

    Welcome to Cachly!
    Bulk upload of Pending Logs was a feature that we wanted to add in 2.0, but ultimately we had to keep it off the list because we couldn't add any more features since we want to get it released very soon.
    That feature will be priority after 2.0 is released and will be in 2.0.1.

    Nic Hubbard reacted to Team DEMP in Corrected Coordinates   
    I wonder if you need to reconsider/alter your workflow.
    Right now you have an offline view of data in GSAK with corrected coordinates. 
    You don't seem to be updating geocaching.com with that info for some reason.

    You also have 2 downloads you are doing to Cachly - 1 from GSAK and 1 from Geocaching.com
    So I see the following options...
    a ) have 2 different downloads to Cachly and select one to view at any given time
    b ) Update geocaching.com with the coords you are entering in GSAK and just download the PQ from geocaching.com to Cachly
    c ) Update GSAK from geocaching.com where GSAK retains the corrected coords. You load Cachly from GSAK
    d) Possibly, a way to merge within Cachly but not sure if the expected results will be reliably obtained.

    Just my 2 cents.

    Done! I fixed this in a few other places as well.
    Once place I didn't change it is where we use Google Translate. In this case I think it works well to not have to open Safari.

    Looks good thanks Nic.  Yes, it started as half cable half funicular, and is now full funicular but retained the name

    Yes. Very strange...... Because I can't replicate it either. Next time it happens, I'll try to identify the circumstances. Hopefully, I wasn't imagining it...!
    Seems like Bolling was able to replicate it with the current Beta version?

    Nic Hubbard reacted to AnyMules in Date/Time Logging issue   
    Hey @Nic Hubbard,
    I spent most of the afternoon today out caching and made about 25 logs with Cachly. All logs look good date wise, so I'm pretty happy with that. I only had to refer back to "the other app" on a couple of occasions where I had corrected coordinates stored, but hadn't migrated them to Cachly (or geocaching.com) yet.
    So I'm pretty happy with the way this app is now working with regards to the dates. It all looks correct (although I'll probably need to test one day around the midnight cutover, but that won't be for a while yet). 
    Thanks again for all your work on this issue!

    Nic Hubbard reacted to Bolling in Two Different Map Defaults   
    I just started using Cachly.  One feature I've used elsewhere that I really really like it to different map defaults.  What I mean by that is one map default when showing the location of nearby caches, another for the actual cache navigation.  Obviously the user could set them the same.  I generally like to keep the nearby cache map on standard Google Map view, and the Navigate on hybrid map Google Map view.   With Cachly I have to constantly switch back and forth.
    Overall good first impressions though.

    I do understand your approach. I'll admit I use Spark for personal email and the Swipes are customized there so mine aren't standard. 
    I did look at the standard mail app swipe. One difference I notice is that in the mail app all three functions unfold simultaneously making them all noticeable without a full swipe.
    I did of course find the functionality after a while, but after seeing this post it reminded me of my struggle too.

    I wanted to post a comment not related to Cachly itself but the forum. I've signed in to many different web forums and even administrate one. You've picked the best forum software I've seen. It's easy to search and easy to read and follow new posts on both computers and mobile devices. I like how it has the Cachly color theme too.

    You need to be using 2.0. If you are, just swipe the row on one of the PQ's that is in the Offline tab. Then choose "Options". This will give you options to copy, merge etc with another list.

    Simplicity and intuitiveness sometimes go hand and hand, and are sometimes at odds. We have tried to keep both in mind on this screen. There are a lot of controls that a user can invoke, but I think that the screen still works.
    We are using the standard iOS swipe to reveal feature, which is used throughout iOS. The iOS Mail app does this exact thing, and this is what Cachly's Offline List swipe feature is modeled after:

    Hope this helps explain a bit of our thinking when planning the UI and user experience.

    Hi Nic,
    just updated to 2.01 and have seen the map changes. Thank you very much for sorting this, it'll make a massive difference to using the app offline whilst out and about.
    In my opinion the app was second to none before version 2, now it's streets ahead of the competition, fantastic job.

    The filtering was just added into 2.0.1 which was just released to the App Store. Update Cachly on your phone and see if the new feature is now available for you. 
    It's not an advanced field search as far as I know but a generic keyword search/filter across the offline caches.

    I have fixed this issue, with help from Clyde from GSAK.
    I will push out a new beta with this fix and Settings option. It will be in 2.0.2 so we will have to wait for Apple to approve the beta, which is pretty quick.

    Downloaded Cachly a few days before Ver 2 came out. I'm a GeoSphere user. So here are a couple ideas for you to kick around :-)
    Just listened to you on the Geocaching Podcast. Great job btw.
     
    Friends list: This is a c:geo thing I believe. When you view a cache, you can also see if any of your friends have found the cache. The friends list comes from "Your Friends" list on geocaching.com. A older version of GeoSphere would show your log(if you loaded a cache you found) and the logs of your friends.
     
    Field note templates: GeoSphere lets you create FN templates so when you log a field note you don't have to type the same thing over. This is great for when you are caching with someone you can already have this part in your log. Also great for copy & paste logs on power trails. GeoSphere also lets you add local date/time and find count to your log. I always 'sign' my geonick and where I am from on all my logs.
     
    Thanks for your hard work and listening to your users of your app!! I hope to learn more about cachly as I get more time to cache!

    Normally it's iOS doing it, that was a test case.  Good to hear it's on the list
