Free gc.com app for Challenges


Recommended Posts

Posted

Just in case anybody doesn't know, and is interested, there is a free app from gc.com for doing Challenges. It's called "Challenges for Android" in the Android marketplace. I haven't seen it discussed anywhere on the forums, so just thought I'd mention it.

Won't let me log in :(

 

Strange it's not been mentioned anywhere.

 

Hmmm, I was able to log in fine. It seems to work, though I haven't actually left the house to try and find a challenge with it. It only shows you what challenges are near your current location--I'm not seeing a way to search by a different location, or by code.

 

The only place I've seen the app mentioned was very briefly in the weekly newsletter in the article about challenges.

It doesn't seem to do anything. After the intro when I click "Log In", it just goes to a mostly blank white screen with a grey bar across the top that says "Challenges". The menu key does nothing, all I can do is back out of it.

Completed a challenge with the Android app today (I logged in last night when the site wasn't quite as unresponsive). You can take the requisite picture from within the app and type up your log, then upload it all as you walk back to your car. It uses Google Navigation to get you to the destination. They did a good job with the app.

 

I would very much like to see a map with all of the nearby Challenges on it.

I just tried the app. I can't login either. Just get a white screen. I'm sure it will be fixed soon

 

That's probably because the web site has been down most of the day.

Gotcha. That makes sense. Thanks. I'll try the app again today!

I find that signing in to *anything* that accesses my account will log me out of the geocaching.com website. I suppose this is another improvement they have provided us.
