[M Rose]

This sounds like a great app, and it could quite possibly replace several of my navigation and outdoor rec apps... swiss army knife of the expedition community

 

[MTN_TACO]

Seriously cant wait for this to release! This app will be able to do so much and more to help everyone out! Keep up the great work Michael!!

 

[Nor Cal Ursa]

Thanks for undertaking this Mike! Eagerly waiting to get ahold of this.

I’m excited to get this new app and test it out, is there a specific page for feedback or helpful ideas on additions to the app?

 

[firemen7]

I am impatiently looking forward to the release

I'm really excited to be part of this testing! Thank you! I can't wait to test it out and help out anyway I can. Also very happy to hear CarPlay integration being mentioned for future development!

Hi all!

Here's a quick update:

Alpha Release Yes/No: NO

We received a new build this week to iOS and Android mostly focused on the "Create Rally Point" screen. The issues (features) resolved/completed in this release include:

Forums:

1. Single post to display time of post creation
2. New conversation creation
3. User @ mention functionality
4. Image attachment to post
5. Set higher resolution for images
6. Loaded content for logged in user only
7. Member profile card updates
8. Members progress bar to calculate accurately
9. Forum Category display
10. Properly order notifications

App Navigation

1. Login screen
2. Implement Contact options on user cards.

Rally Point:

1. Main Create Rally Point Screen
2. Create Rally Point Repeat Event
3. Rally Point Map Invite

13 bugs were introduced.

The good: We resolved an issue deploying to iOS and we have resumed deploying to both platforms with feature equivalency.
The bad: A bug was introduced which pops up the txt keyboard blocking post ability, which has prevented signifigant testing of this release.

More soon all! Thank you!

...and CarPlay options.

How about Android Auto?

How about Android Auto?

Yes, but right now we are focused on shipping core features as top priority. That will be later next year.

This is a classic! Shouldn't be too hard to fix it.

Has there been any discussion of incorporating a PTT (Push to Talk) app similar to Zello within the OB 2.0 app?
I know the app will be feature rich and likely a rather large app to download.
Just a idea for another way to allow members to connect. There could be rooms such as International, US, regions, etc..
