curlingfan11 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I know that the app 'Cachely' allows you to give favorite points. But I don't know if it allows you to access field notes. Quote Link to comment
+MrVon Posted May 28, 2016 Author Share Posted May 28, 2016 I still use the old app, until IT is available in the New. I wish to support Groundspeak, and they have promised to implement all the old funktions in the New app. But why havent they? Quote Link to comment
+WildWildWes Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I am 100% behind the need for Favorite point support in app! This is one of the things that bugs me most about the App. Quote Link to comment
+TeamRabbitRun Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 If I had to guess, I'd say that Field Notes were designed to be just that: "Notes taken in the field until you could get to your computer and log them." The rationale behind not having them now is probably that if you're on your phone, you're AT your computer! No NEED for Field Notes! Personally, if I'm in the woods or on the side of the road and I have a great story to tell about a cache, I don't necessarily want to compose a well-crafted log while being bitten by mosquitos, or buzzed by trucks, or impatiently waited for by my kids. I want to be able to jot down a few words to remind me and move on, just like I do when I use my GPSr! Plus, my phone typing SOCKS! Quote Link to comment
+niraD Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I've done a little testing of the app, but I can't use it for real geocaching until it supports field notes. On the other hand, since I always use field notes and submit my logs later from a real computer with a real keyboard, I have no need for the ability to add Favorite points from the app. Quote Link to comment
+Dokhera Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Same, field notes it important to me. I use an other app because of it Quote Link to comment
+Tassie_Boy Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I know that the app 'Cachely' allows you to give favorite points. But I don't know if it allows you to access field notes. Cachely is an iPhone app not available on the Android system (yet?). Quote Link to comment
+Viajero Perdido Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 This may help with field notes, if you're willing to try another app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cz.yard.android.locus.addon.fieldnotes Quote Link to comment

This is absolutely a requirement for using the New application. I totally agree, how can you not include something as basic as favorites. Also, the distance drives me bonkers. It works off your primary language in Android. e.g. US or Canada English = distance in miles or KM's....stupid. Quote Link to comment
