+Valkarie63 Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 The GC app no longer loads geocaches in map mode on my Android. When the app opens up, the map loads, but a black bar at the top flashes "Loading geocaches.." every second without completing... This pretty much renders the app useless, so thanks for ideas on how to fix this... Quote
+Viajero Perdido Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 Since we're already off-topic (this is the Website forum), I'll suggest trying another caching app that works well offline. Pre-load the map for your area, pre-load some PQs, put it in airplane mode to save battery if you like, and off you go - just with like a classic GPS unit. On Android, Locus Map is an excellent choice for offline caching. For when the Internet just doesn't work. 1 1 Quote

+Valkarie63 Posted May 4, 2020 Author Posted May 4, 2020 Didn't hear back on if this was a bug or an operational issue, so uninstalled/reinstalled the app and it seems to be working now. Cause: unknown. Quote
+Mineral2 Posted May 4, 2020 Posted May 4, 2020 I recall this happening to me in the past. Some things to try: Make sure the app is up to date. Delete the app's cache/data. Log out and log back in. (deleting app data might do this for you) Quote

Cause: unknown. I'm willing to bet the app was failing to update cached files. If this happens again in the future, try my above suggestions. Though removal and reinstallation will effectively complete all of them. Quote
