+KNKINCABOT Posted October 2, 2021 Posted October 2, 2021 Will the AL application run on an iPhone 6? I was called today from another cacher who said when they start the app on their iPhone 6, it starts then goes away. I had them reboot their phone but the app continued to perform the same. I had them delete the app and reinstall, still performed the same way. They are at an event in Texas and someone there told them the AL app would was not supported on an iPhone 6. Just looking for what iPhone it is supported on. Thank you, Kent (KnKinCabot) Quote

+magkirk Posted October 3, 2021 Posted October 3, 2021 I still have an iPhone 6 too and have the same problem suddenly. It flickers on, then goes off. I tried rebooting the phone, deleting and reinstalling the app several times. I have never had a problem with the Adventure Lab app before. There may be a new version of the app and it doesn't work with a 6 anymore. Very frustrating! Of course, I am on a trip in an area with many interesting AdLabs. I guess I will manage somehow and share my husband's iPhone and go in and out of the app at each location. l needed a new iPhone anyway. Quote
Keystone Posted October 3, 2021 Posted October 3, 2021 What is your iOs version? The minimum is iOs 12. 1 Quote
+judithbury Posted October 3, 2021 Posted October 3, 2021 I,ve an iphone 5 and the app stopped working thursday afternoon I have tried re installing but it makes no difference the app will not stay open just flashes then goes back to app icon judithbury Quote
+magkirk Posted October 3, 2021 Posted October 3, 2021 I wonder if I can load a previous version of Adventure Lab. It automatically updated to that. Quote
+magkirk Posted October 3, 2021 Posted October 3, 2021 I went to the App store on my iPhone 6, searched for Adventure Lab app. Under What's New, it says the most recent update is Version 1.3.9 installed 4 days ago. That is when I noticed the Adventure Lab app just flickered on and went off. The description is "Ongoing maintenance. The latest update includes small visual changes and bug fixes for a more consistent appearance." Scrolling down, it says under Compatibility "Requires iOS 12.0 or later. " It would seem they didn't intend for it not to work on iPhone 6, iOS 12.5.5 . Maybe they can fix it. Quote
+DaddyKool Posted October 3, 2021 Posted October 3, 2021 I'm experiencing exactly the same problem as magkirk in that the Adventure Lab app just flickers on and then goes off when I start the app. I have deleted the app, restarted my phone and downloaded the app again. Repeated that sequence a couple of times, but no improvement in the AL app performance. I have iOS 12 on iPhone 6, so that should be in accordance with the AL app's compatibility requirements. Hoping for a fix. 1 Quote
+Galileo the cat Posted October 4, 2021 Posted October 4, 2021 Same issue here on an iPhone 6, running iOS 12.5.5. The update is fine on my iPhone 12 with 14.8. IIRC, the App Store is not supposed to allow you to download an update that won’t work on your phone. 2 Quote
+plussminus0 Posted October 4, 2021 Posted October 4, 2021 I also experienced the same thing. After updating to app version 1.3.9 to my iPhone 6 (iOS 12.5.5), I'm not able to get access to the AL app. It just flickers and goes off instantly. On version 1.3.8 it was working completely fine. I have tried reinstalling the app several times without any improvement. Yes, let's hope this bug can be fixed soon! Clearly this is problem several people are experiencing. 1 Quote
+Wacka Posted October 4, 2021 Posted October 4, 2021 Get a newer phone . When my i Phone 5 died a year or so ago, the oldest the Apple store had was an iPhone 7. 2 Quote

Groundspeak Inc. states that the system requirement for using the Adventure Lab app on an iPhone is iOS 12 or later. That's precisely what I have on my iPhone 6. So of course it's a bit annoying when the app is not responding. 1 Quote

+Ocean Lovers Posted October 5, 2021 Posted October 5, 2021 I have experienced the same issue using an iPhone 6 running iOS 12.5.5. I tried the same fixes mentioned above. Both the AL app version and the iOS were updated recently so I don't know which update caused the issue. Quote

Maybe TPTB can make a tweak and keep AL functional for a while longer? When my iPhone 5 lost the ability to run the Geocaching App, I set it up as my car MP3 player, and bought a nice, used iPhone 8 (when the iPhone 10 had just been released). I’ll probably stay a couple generations behind, so that “saving up” is easier to do. Quote
+CAPTAINVALPO96 Posted October 6, 2021 Posted October 6, 2021 Yeah. That’s what my family does. Quote

+magkirk Posted October 6, 2021 Posted October 6, 2021 I shared my husband's iPhone X and we logged into and out of our separate accounts to log two Adventure Labs. We had a problem when it got down to posting a review. Since we were using the same device we suppose, it only permitted one review. I'll see if I can get any more info on how this bug is affecting me. I do know that I have 800 points less than my husband for the current Reach the Peak month. Quote
+Ocean Lovers Posted October 7, 2021 Posted October 7, 2021 (edited) Just updated to the latest version of the Adventure Lab app (1.3.10) and all is well on my iPhone 6 now. The AL app works again! Thanks for the update. Edited October 8, 2021 by Ocean Lovers Added a thank you. 2 Quote

I hope you will try again with the latest update and let us know if now you have the same points. Quote
+magkirk Posted October 7, 2021 Posted October 7, 2021 Yes, I saw the update and had no problem installing it. We found three adventure labs today and it was nice that it was working again. When all our finds today are logged, I think he will have 900 more points than I although we should have the same number. Thank you in advance for your assistance. Quote
