Surely they cant make it worse than the last "upgrade". Hopefully they wont introduce it at the height of the travelling season like last time.

It's here
Started the update yesterday on my tablet but my details died in the process. Sent an email and received reply an hour ago. Advised bug fixed and I was good to go.
Update user name passwords preferences and then had a look around.
Tried to log back in few minutes ago. No joy

Leave it others to express their opinion.
I also have it on my phone and not updated. Hope it continues to work.

Cheers

I have finally found WikiCamps with its new logo on my phone. It does not work as it did previously. I can't get maps in "Satellite View". I can see I will have to spend a lot of time re-learning how to use WikiCamps or find something else.
Cheers,
Roy.

 I have not upgraded yet, but I found this advice on another forum.

"Touch the app settings on the lower RHS& choose between Normal or satellite."

So far so good.

Been randomly pulling up information on my android photo, lots quicker by far.

It would be good to do a field trip, maybe soon.

Thank you Wiki camps.

From my point of view it's a TRAGEDY.

Early days yet, but:

All my "liked" hearts have not come across - literally hundreds of carefully saved designations just gone poof !!1

No comments that I can find.

No place names.

Huge numbers of sites of all types not on map

Satellite view toggle center of three icons on rhs.

A workflow that is convoluted to say the least. !!!!!!!!!!!


Why they wanted to fix what wasn't broke stuffed if I know.


DON'T UPGRADE TILL YOU SEE IT ON SOMEONE ELSE'S MACHINE !!!
Back to the camsites book for me. I have been a diligent promoter of Wiki but for now -


HATE IT !

Fortunately i have the site on another machine that at the moment is not updated due to age of machine.

Morning all,

I just fired up the phone to find the new wikicamps app sitting there smiling at me. I opened it up and had set a new password then agree to conditions etc. I then started to check it out. Took me a minute or two to work it out (I'm old so have an excuse) and found it OK so far. Time will tell I spose. I use Wiki and Google Maps all the time and so far only gone down the wrong road once. What I was aiming for was actually just on the other side of a cane field. Google took me the direct way through the cane field. Wiki gave me the coordinates.

I look forward to working with Wiki still.


Keep Safe on the roads and out there.

Great app, great features and fast.

Quick updates for offline maps and contents.

Easy to navigate. Great upgrade!

IMG_7308 2.jpeg

                                      NEW.                                                                          OLD.

 

Can someone tell me why numerous sites of all descriptions are missing on the new Wiki?

I have two phones, one with the new and one with the old.

Zoomed in identical areas at similar % theres a huge disparity.

Working to get a pic to show.


Also,

Can someone confirm or otherwise that "heart" settings on favorite sites carries over pls.
Has not done so on mine.

Had to delete old wc and download again. Would not accept old pasword so had to reset new one.
Have wc on 3 devices and previously so long as all logged into the same a/c changes on one
device was mirrored on others.

Bloody not now !!!

Wish wiki would do their Beta testing themselves rather than on the users!!

Just a wild guess - but have you checked the filters and settings of the new download?

How do plan/edit a trip in explore mode? So as to select new destinations along route
In plan mode you only see selected destinations

Business' has been getting users to do Beta testing on real time and on real situations for some time now. Which means in effect they only fix the squeaky wheel and end up with products that are not particularly robust. Saves them money though in most cases even if at times it ends in complete disaster and causes KAOS for their users. Won't change.

 Try adjusting your search preferences settings, filters, for what your looking for.

Yes you have to reset your filters, it's much quicker than the old app and navigating around the site is a bit different but once you get used to it I think it is an improvement
