Whats the current state of Wherigo? Is it dead? I mean: The listed clients are from 2008, the iPhone app is 4 years old and not yet optimized for newer models (resolution etc). The rating isnt that good as well.

 

I opened a ticket at GC (I hoped they'll forward it to Groundspeak HQ) but I got:

Anyone who can tell me the future of Wherigo?

Nearly a year later and no replies. I guess no answer is an answer?

 

I really, really want to get into building WIG caches, I can see a lot of potential. But it does not seem to be worth the effort to get a working cartridge going.

I think Groundspeak is pouring more effort into their Adventure Labs at the moment.  After thirteen years of Wherigo, I'm used to it.  And after thirteen years of Wherigo, I still run across cachers who call me because they don't realize when they get to a zone and nothing happens that they might want to check to see if there's an NPC with whom to interact.  (To the person who did call me on Saturday, I mean no disrespect.  This is just a great example of how something this flexible might not be readily apparent to everyone.)
