valrg Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 Is there any way of stopping the iphone going into sleep mode whilst using the cachly app? I appreciate you can go to settings on the iphone and change the general settings there but that's not something I want to do each time I go caching. I'm sure the geocaching classic app, which I've used for the last 6 years, must have something like that because I didn't used to find the phone going to sleep every few minutes. Now as I'm walking along between caches I'm finding that each time I look down at my phone it's gone to sleep and it has to be woken up, password entered etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Hubbard Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 We don't force your phone to stay awake since as you mentioned, there is an iOS setting for this. If we forced the phone not to sleep, user might leave Cachly open expecting iOS to sleep their phone at the chosen interval, but instead it would just waste their battery keeping the screen on. However, adding this feature to the Navigate screen might be beneficial since this is likely the screen that users would be using a lot.

valrg Posted March 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 Thanks for such a swift response - I'm loving this app! Yes that would certainly be the screen that I would like to see it on - as you say it would not be sensible for the other screens Gdsdizz and Nic Hubbard 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
