Give the App a Whirl + Thanks!

[Kevin Colburn]

Hi Crew, 

We are pretty stoked with the current state of the AW app. Check it out and make sure yours is updated to the newest version. We have favorites back up and running with flow recommendations. I made a list of saved runs and check it often to see what's running. The new gauge service is doing great. 

What is clear on the app is all the work ya'll have done to put access points in the right place (where you park), to add the full suite of flow ranges, and all the other content. The App will only ever be as good as the content on it, so THANKS for all your work over the years!

Hell yea! So happy to see this app getting these improvements.

I'm glad to see the ability to save reaches again with the app as I primarily use it for gauge readings. Problem I'm currently having is that it regularly requires me to re-sign in to the app in order to see those saved gauges. For someone that uses a strong password that I don't have memorized, this would be a significant problem if I'm on my way to the river and don't have the password handy. I'm not quite sure why saving gauges is tied to a password anyway.

Kevin, I have the same concern. Has this concern been looked into. The AW app logs me out much more often than my other apps on my phone, thus logging in is a big hassle.

Thanks, Alex

Thanks for raising this. There turned out to be a setting that was set for the mobile app that was causing people to need to log in again every 5 days, I've updated it to every 400 days. There are some error states mostly related to poor network conditions that will prevent people from being logged out in the next version of the app.

As a reminder, these apps are volunteer maintained so there isn't a ton of capacity around to look into every problem as they're raised.

@Pete - in terms of why you need to log in, we've moved from storing saved reaches on the device to storing it as part of your user profile. In the future we expect to be able to provide paddlers with the ability to see the same list of saved reaches when logged in both the app and the web page. 

For context, We're doing this due to clear user feedback that people want access to saved reaches on web and that they do not want to manage two lists separately. Furthermore, having the source of truth of this data be on our servers rather than on people's phones dramatically reduces the maintenance burden for our volunteer programming team.

If the logging out issue is fixed then I'm not bothered by having saved reaches associated with my profile.

Thanks.

Thanks Kevin. The app is great. That was my only gripe. Looking forward to future features!
