+Simrebel Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 Has there ever been any talk of creating a app for Waymarking ?? I bet alot more poeple would get into it if there was something quick and easy to use When I am out geocaching I usually forget about waymarks and log them after the fact 1 Quote
+MountainWoods Posted August 15, 2017 Posted August 15, 2017 I completely agree with that. All there is at this point is an app that is essentially a proxy to the Waymarking site that displays the information in a more phone-sized format friendly way. However, the big problem with the existing app is that the login isn't working. You login to it, then do anything at all and it tells you that you need to login! If that were fixed, then it would be a great start. But I don't think it has been worked on in like 4 years or so. Quote
+GeoMaulis Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) An other problem seems to be that Groundspeak does not provide the necessary API´s like on the geocaching.com servers. So the only working solution at the moment is "Waymarking Mobile" from chilehead. Edited August 17, 2017 by GeoMaulis 1 Quote

I use this from time to time and it's quite useful, if you just want to have a quick look at what waymarks are around. Quote

But if it's only gone this far since '05, doubtful. Many believe the apps are what's wrong with geocaching today. But I'd think a lot more would have gotten into it if they were "counted" originally, along with Found Its on the geocaching site, like the locationless that were similar. Quote
+wilsonjw Posted September 17, 2017 Posted September 17, 2017 I'll pile on.... There are several features that will make Waymarking much more useful...an app is among them. I'd like to be able to search for waymarks while "in the field", and upload photographs to the waymark pages from my phone. Quote

+MrCachly Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) I am working on a new Waymarking app and it will be an official partner app of Geocaching HQ. Looking for beta testers at this point. If anyone is interested please contact nic@zedsaid.com. Edited February 7, 2020 by MrCachly 1 Quote

TFTWM TFTWM TFTWM TFTWM TFTWM TFTWM TFTWM TFTWM TFTWM I am more likely to write a nice, unique log while using a desktop. On the app, not so much. Geocachers have an infinite amount of time to edit their log later, if they want. Waymarking logs cannot be edited after 24 hours, so it's more likely that a brief log typed in the field is all you'll get. It's just my opinion and experience that logs using the app are much shorter, and even current logs often don't meet the category visit requirements. 1 Quote
+terratin Posted February 8, 2020 Posted February 8, 2020 Cachly is ios only. Thus likely *is excited* Quote

Waymarking app: TFTWM = Thanks for the waymark. A log containing only TFTWM will happen more frequently with app users. I predict. I've gotten "Found while geocaching" visit logs hundreds of times. So fun getting dozens of those in a row. Quote
