Chimani apps/guides consolidation and lots of bugs fixes!
+ We have heard you loud and clear! We have addressed a number of bugs (i.e. check-in problems).
+ However, we are still working on a manual process for synchronizing very large check-ins histories (they are not lost!)
+ We are starting to consolidate all our apps/guides into this app (a.k.a "one app to rule them all" for you fellow J.R.R. Token fans).
+ With this version, you can download the Acadia National Park guide directly from the app and no longer have to install a separate app! And yes, your check-in activity is synchronized across the guides!
+ We will be releasing all 63 park guides shortly, but please give it a try and let us know your thoughts!
If you like this release, we'd appreciate some love with a positive review (it's been a rough few months as you can see from the ratings). If you still run into problems/crashes, please email us at support@chimani.com. We want to get any concerns/bugs into the pipeline for our next releases.
Last week we visited the birthplace of Teddy Roosevelt so it's only fitting to end with this quote by him: Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.
Happy exploring.
