nykkole Posted June 14, 2021 Posted June 14, 2021 Turn this feature on, then visit the Activity screen on any geocache. You will see a Favorite point icon on logs that awarded a Favorite point. Learn more about Favorite points. HQ will not actively participate in this thread, but will review it for feedback to assess if a feature should be further developed. Any posts in this thread should relate to features in this release. Comments unrelated to the release may be removed. Please direct unrelated comments to other appropriate threads. Thanks!
+admuk Posted June 15, 2021 Posted June 15, 2021 I like the action icons (acticons?) on the log entries; makes them easier to scan. The fave one fits right in!
+Ingabo Posted June 15, 2021 Posted June 15, 2021 I am not sure if I like this feature to become public in this way. Kind of privacy that is spread, similar to "like" which are common in many apps. If you want to see who shared a FP you can always go to the cache page on the web and look at the list, by your own will. Then you actively have to search for the information. It is of course not a secret but perhaps not meant to become common goods either in this way. I have given very many FP over time but this feature will make me much more reluctant in giving them in the future. I am not a friend of public assessments in the type of official likes. 1 1
+JPS1985 Posted June 15, 2021 Posted June 15, 2021 This is a feature that doesn't need to be on the website let alone the App. Totally pointless. 2
+barefootjeff Posted June 15, 2021 Posted June 15, 2021 I'm with Ingabo on this, it makes it too obvious who didn't award an FP.
+cerberus1 Posted June 15, 2021 Posted June 15, 2021 We know many COs who are a bit "pushy" about their caches. Some even have/had "if you liked it, please give us a FP" on their cache page. Thankfully those who called/emailed asking why we didn't knocked that off... If someone's really curious who gave a FP, it's easy to look at the drop down on the cache page. We don't know anyone who is. 1
+CAPTAINVALPO96 Posted June 16, 2021 Posted June 16, 2021 I am a fairly new cacher, but am really into this and know almost everything. For this, Everything is looking good. I checked it on other caches, and even checked it on one of my own and it did pop up a window that said “You cannot favorite this cache because it is your own cache”. That is perfect. Thanks, GCHQ! 1 1
+mustakorppi Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 Favorites information is currently viewable via the list on the cache page and in the Activity feed on your Dasboard (you and your friends only). I would prefer that this information weren't public at all. If that is out of the question, I don't see problems with this implementation on the app. 1

I would prefer that this information weren't public at all. I like how it is. Most people do say “...this earned a favorite point...” or “...fp awarded...” whenever they give a favorite. I do that too. People have the right to favorite what they like. And not favorite what they like normally or dislike. Everybody likes different things! 1
+Olivandy Posted October 14, 2023 Posted October 14, 2023 I personally love this feature. I like visiting popular caches (but more specifically unique or special hides) and enjoy reading logs that share in great geocaching experiences. This feature works great for this purpose. I currently leave the exp. feature enabled at all times and would love to see it released. 1 2
