Just bought it and trying it out. Very nice app! It runs pretty well on my slowish MyTouch. Everything works as expected (better than expected actually). The map download is particularly nicely implemented (well, I somewhat take that back. A download progress bar would be nice :).
- andrewljohnson 16y agoIf you click Saved Maps from the menu, then the table will show the progress of each map :) Thanks for the compliments! One nice thing about the Android app is we have already been working on the iPhone app for many moons, so there were a lot of lessons learned. The biggest one I think is that we launched a very minimal feature set at first - on the iPhone we included tracking, waypoints, and all kinds of stuff right of the bat. Because of this, our iPhone app started out buggy and we have had to do significant refactoring over time. Also, we later cut some features we originally viewed as important. I always thought I understood the credo of launch a "mimimum viable product," but I really didn't until after launching something that WASN'T it.
- kylemathews 16y agoHmmm... I see it now. I guess I just found a bug as the first time I tried downloading the app. I clicked save and it just stalled for a long while until I clicked cancel. But I still don't see any download indicator in the notification drop-down which is typical for Android apps.
- andrewljohnson 16y agoOk, would you mind emailing me at andrew@gaiagps.com? I'd like to ask a couple questions, and then we'll fix it.
