Beta Testing of New Mobile AppFORUMS HOME SEARCH FORUMS

Helene,

You seem to be mixing up the Mobile App with the app for mobiles RoutePilot which weas in development before Visorando took over .....

Mark

It would be useful to learn what is planned for plotaroute from Visorando. I use it a lot and am keen to understand how they intend to take it forward.

The previous owner announced a roam free companion in August last year that is just what the app needs so I tried to volunteer for the beta testing earlier this year.  I did get feedback from Visorando but did not really understand the response other than there was no beta trial anymore. It would have been a great addition to the functionality of plotaroute.

Hi,

did you follow advice of this link?

Kind regards.

My first use of the App (if it is an App rather than just a link on Home Screen)? Like Mike's post I couldn't see how to get my location working and it doesn't appear as an App on my Apps list, or under location services as other apps do so not sure how to fix. Shame as looks a really useful tool for planning walks and rides. 

I tried out the mobile app and navigate mode, and it could never see my position even though on any other map program, it would show up. So not sure if I'm doing something wrong or there's a special place for me to open location services. Any advice?

Dean was talking about the real app, I think, RoutePlot .....  see the first post, below

Hi,
There is no update for instance. You can use the mobile app awithout being a beta testing user.
Just install te app as recommended on this link.

Do not hesitate to share your feedback.

Kind regards

can we get an update on the app please?

Hi Mark,

The new mobile app is almost finished. We are discussing how to release it.

Arnaud,

May I ask, please, what is the future of this new mobile app, now that Visorando have aquired plotaroute?

Mark

Ooooooh, the tension ...... :)

Sweet, this is exactly what this service needed, good move!

For the past year we've been working hard on developing a roam-free companion app for Plotaroute that will provide offline navigation and recording of routes, together with brand new digital maps. These have been the most voted for Feature Requests, so thank you to everyone who voted for these for your patience. We are now approaching the point where we will soon be inviting some of our users to participate in early Beta testing of the app. It will eventually be available for both iPhones and Android devices, but its likely that we will be Beta testing the iPhone version first and hopefully following up with the Android version soon after.

If you are interested in volunteering as a Beta tester, please get in touch via our Contact Us page and let us know the following information:

• your full name
• the country where you live
• your Plotaroute sign-in email address
• the make and model of your mobile device

Please put "Beta Testing" in the title of the message.

At this stage we are only inviting Premium members of Plotaroute to participate, so this is a requirement. Also, we are only able to involve a small number of people initially, so please don't be offended if we aren't able to include you straight away.

UPDATE (7 November 2023): We have started Beta testing with the iOS version and hope to start testing with the Android version soon. If you are a Premium memebr with an iOS device and would like to help with the Beta testing please get in touch with the details listed above.

We can't say anything further about the app at the moment, as we want to explain everything when the final verison is launched, but hopefully that's given you a flavour of what's in the pipeline!
