Only seeing this on the specific trackable page. The for at least single quote character is displaying the HTML code instead of the character. All other locations ie owned trackable list page, trackable name on cache pages, etc is showing the converted character. vs

Not sure what the form looked like 2 years ago but looking at the current form it does ask for a name of the application, platform and a description. So that is my guess what they are using to base that decision on. Granted not sure if they asked that question via their form 2 years ago.

Kinda of thought of this before but would really love it right now and know others would. Would be great to have some sort filter for logs IE click on the 'Announcement' icon at the top of logs where it has the log type counts and show only the announcements (could be done for the others ie "found" "DNF" "note" etc). Noticing where this would be great. All events especially megas I see most benefit as well as other caches. For example looking at the "West Bend Cache Bash" GC7X7H4 this weekend, there are currently 2 Event Announcements but I have to scroll and scroll and scroll and scroll through the hundreds of will attend logs and notes to try and find. Sure if I have marked my will attend I will get emails of the announcements. But if I mark that afterwards I don't get those previous emails and I have to scroll and scroll and scroll, and then am using Ctrl+F to search for 'announcement' But would be great if this was more user friendly by just being able to filter the announcements (or potentially other log types, like need maintenance logs as a CO) out.

Finally got my answer from HQ about Argon and with developing your own AR experience. This is their response.

from how I understand their comments that statement would be incorrect. You could have a play/solve anywhere AR experience as long as a second part includes a GPS element. This could be but not limited to the use of AR to recieve final coords and then you have to then navigate via GPS to the final like many other puzzles. I make this assumption based on the notes listed below from this page: https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=127&pgid=921 GPS usage is required for at least part of the search. GPS requirements are met, if: Players need to navigate to GPS coordinates. The AR experience is set to be location dependent, meaning that you can only see it at the location specified in the AR app.

I'm a developer so of course got all excited about creating my own experiences..... especially that can be used with a modern mobile browser... no app required. But then their clause of "Allow users to upload their own AR overlays" shut that down granted unless I really went into developing something for others to upload their own content.... hmmmm maybe future idea if these become a permanent fixture. Anyways, Still would be able to make it work then using the app "Argon" so I have messaged my reviewer to see if that would be allowed as users are able to provide their own weblink (ie upload their own overlay?) and see if that qualifies. Guess I'll just have to wait and see, that way I hopefully won't be limited by the features of the other apps.

Hope it comes back soon as I had recently discovered and found it very helpful with having almost 100 trackables and fun to look at. Hopefully someone will have some insight.

Is anyone else disappointed or upset with the new iPhone intro app??? I've used the "classic" app for a number of years and before they announce the intro app and would of just preferred if that one was updated. Now I do work in software and know changes happen but some things just haven't been making the most sense to me with the new app. I still don't think it should be stripped of the intro label on it in the most recent update. I keep tryin to give the new app a shot with each new upgrade but after a few days I give up and go back to the other one. Just so simple but it does it all. Was there input from users? Was there user testing and feedback and changes based on feedback. Comments/dissatisfactions -don't feel it's always intuitive. If I'm having to guess others are too. -the new lists, glad they finally got included and love it includes bookmark lists but really no map feature? Or am I missing it. For me personally I use my queries and like to look at a map and see what's going on for purposes of FTFs for entire states, WI lonely cache game, other searches. Knowing the distance is no use for me or which is closest. Closest isn't always best to go for and not user friendly to have to click each cache. -feel like so many clicks to get the info I want. What happened to the generic unofficial "three click" rule at least with websites. That's where I love some simplicity with the old app. -can't log Trackables when I log a cache???? This is only going to cause greater counts of lost and miss logged Trackables! I have to go to home--> select trackable --> select log type--> select desired cache, then log it. And then repeat for the additional 5 I swapped at that hotel vs making one log in the cache and selecting the bugs??? -get lots of hang ups with loading caches, this frequency has at least decreased but sometimes I just would never get caches loaded(yes I checked filters) I miss having the forced refresh button. -message center loses its sync, this has also started to happen less frequently but I would be getting messages and never see them on my app until I logged out and back in -ability to load more caches, and will be a bigger issue for me if not included when saving lists(unless they have a selection for all). I use it as a reference for WI lonely caches to help desperate from all my other caches in my GPS but usually these caches are far from civilization with no reception. I'm going to want to load and save all 500 caches in my phone. Which I at least can with the old app. These are at least the big thoughts and concerns. No I'm not saying that the "classic" app has it all and is perfect and flawless, it isn't, and both apps never will joys of software dev. But I feel it's shortcomings are tree roots for a car vs the intro app having Boulder obstacles to fight. Maybe if they did all the development with one major release it would have been developed better vs all these feature upgrades. I just feel it is very separated with each feature that's added. They've added the features we want, we wanted Trackables, we wanted lists, but just not integrated in a way the app is going to get used to satisfy users. Don't get me wrong there are things I like and am excited for with the new app. But as of this moment I am still going to chose the "classic" app over the intro/ now geocaching app. I suppose to clarify I'm using the app on my iPhone which I had the 6 before breaking and using my 5S and then using the intro on my GF iPhone 6. Thank you to all of he developers and your hard work though to provide us with goals of newer and better ways to interact with caching. I'm just curious as to what others think or am I the only one with these feelings. I just feel in summary that my caching is going to become less satisfying with increased work I have to do on my phone and can only think how frustrated potential newer users will feel. Granted I always log all my caches online via my computer cause I like to type lengthy logs and lengthy typing isn't fun on any phone in any app. Thanks for the minor rant and looking forward to others thoughts.
