Does the app receive support requests?

[Matt Hixson]

I rarely ever check the support request thread here on the forums, but would love to help out others who may be nearby and need some help. My question is whether or not the app displays those support notifications. If not, could it be made to do so? Ideally I'd like to be able to select part of the map near me and receive notifications for anyone inside that area.
Cheers!

When a member creates a support alert for assistance the app autoimaticly sends out a message to the closest 50 members. What I am working on is a way to filter the alert so that members in a region can get it if they opt in. FYI, this is on my list but other app upgrades have more priority.

Our mod team monitors the support alert page to make sure the alert has been sent out. One issue we have is people put a request on the page and not create an actual alert. This is also on my list to make easier.

Support Alert - Community Assistance Request

New threads in this forum are community requests for mechanical support, recovery, shelter or other assistance.

Thanks, Kent. FWIW I'm also a software developer. I've done a very little bit of mobile app dev, but most of my experience is in backend databases, app/web servers, messaging, networking, etc.

Please let me know if there's any way I could help even if its just beta testing new features or whatever you need help with.

Thank you! There are a few chunky things for us to complete.
- Desktop planning
- Custom gpx trail colors
- Apple CarPlay & Android

Just to name a few.

We’re working on getting that done, but more resources than we have at the moment. Thanks for your involvement!
