+egilp Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 sign me up also would be great to test this.... Quote
robertlipe Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 I'm not really sure what to make of this thread. A tweet from an employee of a company saying he's seen an internally developed app might mean it's "in testing", but not in the common sense of the term as it's not a public test. No call for volunteers has been made and no staff has commented in this thread, so this seems like the wrong place to volunteer for testing that hasn't even opened yet. Quote
+maggi101 Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 (edited) I'm not really sure what to make of this thread. A tweet from an employee of a company saying he's seen an internally developed app might mean it's "in testing", but not in the common sense of the term as it's not a public test. No call for volunteers has been made and no staff has commented in this thread, so this seems like the wrong place to volunteer for testing that hasn't even opened yet. 1. You may be able to just take it as a lighthearted comment. Some of us are happy to see an android app and just wanted to say something to show that interest. If you so chose, you could view it in the same light as voicing your agreement of a point made in a conversation, even though it was not specifically asked for. Would you feel the same if you were part of an open conversation, agreed with a statement made, and somebody else said "Im not sure what to make of that agreement. No request was made for confirmation of points presented, so that acknowledgment seems out of place"? 2. It may also have been with the intent of letting GS know that there is an interest from people who have experience beta testing in helping out. If I see a neighbor moving a heavy piece of furniture, and I'm available, I head outside and offer to help. I'd find it rather odd if another neighbor walked out and said "I'm not sure what to make of this conversation. They never asked for help, this seems like the wrong time to offer it." The offer may be taken, it may not, but its no skin off of my nose, or yours, for people to offer. 3. Sometimes, a comment is just a comment. Edited January 10, 2010 by maggi101 Quote
+dano272 Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 yes! Had the iphone version before I dumped the phone. Can't wait to try this on the droid. Quote
+Team CeDo Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 I am VERY excited to hear that an android app is coming!!! Also for what its worth i'd love to test it as well..... Quote
+thefifthbeatle Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Looks like I got my Droid Eris just in time. I was looking at the other apps, but really liked what my dad has from geocaching.com on his iPhone. Can't wait for a release. If there is a beta, hit me up Quote
gr85z Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Been looking for the Android phone from Verizon since summer and been waiting for geo app since I got my Eris in Nov. More reason for me to ugrade to premium service. Quote
+TeamBrownEyes Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 Been looking for the Android phone from Verizon since summer and been waiting for geo app since I got my Eris in Nov. More reason for me to ugrade to premium service. Bring on the app. Any news of geocachenavigator (trimble) developing anything? That app is the only thing I miss about my blackberry vs. Droid. Quote
+ecanderson Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 This little GPS app might prove useful in determining whether or not your Android hardware platform is really good enough to support geocaching in the manner to which you've been accustomed using purpose built GPS units. Quote

+FredGash Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 I have been waiting since I got my droid, I would love to test it. Quote
+yogiwolfman Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 I'm interested in Beta testing the app too. Quote
+Colonel Carter Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 I too would be interested in testing this. Right now I'm really enjoying Geobeagle. Thanks to Jacob and his well done video introduction. So and official app, het, that would be cool! Sam Quote
+benh57 Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 Looking forward to it. However i find with the Garmin Oregon that the 'offline database' capability of Cachemate/Geodroid (which i loved when i had my 60csx + Palm) isn't as necessary since all the descriptions are on the Oregon. The 'live' capability of the official app however, is in a different class of usefulness since wherever you are at, you can get the caches.. Quote
+Soggy Sneakers Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 Found this link to "Moo Productions" which is supposedly the one publishing this app called "Geocacher" for the Droid platform. http://www.mooproductions.org/node/2 It looks like a really nice app. I've been thinking about getting a Droid from Verizon and this will probably put me over the edge on that.

That looks promising. I don't like the compass they are using but otherwise it's pretty inclusive. Quote

As a minor correction, Droid is a phone made by Motorola, offered by Verizon. Android is the platform/operating system. I assume Motorola intentionally chose the name to cause this sort of confusion/association. So I just want to point out to anyone that may be unaware, that this app will work on any Android-based phone (Hero, Moment, Droid, G1, etc). Quote
+sukie_n_co Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Also, eagerly looking forward to seeing the official Android app. (just a comment/expression-of-interest) Quote
+JohnE5 Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 (edited) With the initially proposed launch date passed, it feels like everyday is Christmas eve. I just want to wake up tomorrow and open my Geocaching App gift! Maybe I'd feel better if Groundspeak made a forum just for the android phone like it has for the iphone. We could track all the rumors in one place. Edited April 6, 2010 by JohnE5 Quote
+gwolb Posted April 7, 2010 Posted April 7, 2010 That is a great idea JohnE5! Cant wait for the official app, but right now GEOBEGAL is working great, like it best in the way you can download all of the locations from SD card, and don't have to pull them from online only. Quote
+Jejjeman Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 (edited) FOOLS!!! Making it a paid app and not supply an alternative method to pay! I am very dissapointed... Edited September 4, 2010 by Jejjeman Quote
