This app is almost the most aggravating thing I've ever seen.

I'm trying to share maps with two members. The map shows as "Pending Membership" for both of them, but neither has any clue that I sent them anything, much less that there's a map they should be able to view. Is there another button I'm supposed to click to complete the send? I'm doing this from the laptop.

That's another story...I'm logged in on the laptop, but can't get logged in the phone tonight. Wasn't a problem last night.

I contacted HS. Naturally, there's no phone number. You type your message and then hold your breath, I guess.



You know your client is pissed off when a technical support question ends in "WTF?"

I haven't tried that feature yet. I'll give it a look-see in a bit and let you know if I learn anything (or even if I don't).

Customer support? They're used to it...and far worse, believe me.

Thanks. I just heard that the guy who's fairly tech savvy got my map finally. The problem was that he was looking at "the wrong email address." Maybe he has two accounts for some reason, although I bet he and I are connected on both (one club account and one personal, maybe).

The other guy is more clueless than even I. LOL

I still want to know why it's so difficult and un-intuitive to share, and whether there's a difference between what you can do on the laptop and what you can do on the phone.

Is that even humanly possible? :grin:

Well, if we restrict the competition to humans...No, it is not. :-)

Good point.

What app are you referring to? (I suppose I missed out on the initial thread or conversation???)

8.) Swamp Fox - 08/16/2017

It's an app called Huntstand or HuntStand or however. You can find it on a Google search or the app store. I'm apparently logged in right now, which for some reason means I can't pull up their home page to give you a link. I don't want to log out today just in case I have trouble getting back in tonight, although I've never had that problem on the laptop. I haven't heard from them about why I can't log in on the phone when I was just on there Monday night.

[Edit: Since we're on the topic, I just got in on the phone. I think there's something funky about how you have to complete your email and password...Possibly by tapping "next" vs. "done" (or vice versa?).

Anyway, pretty stupid glitch in the user friendliness, I suspect, rather than a network problem or whatever you want to call it. I was able to get in after a year of non-use the other night, but then was baffled for a day and a half for the second go round. So, one more thing to try to keep straight in my head. Maybe if I use it more...(the app, I mean...LOL)]

It's a pretty cool app but no instructions and not particularly intuitive. The only way I muddle though is by trial and error and furiously tapping every button I see like a meth head monkey, hoping something good happens.

BTW, we had a thread a year or so ago where we discussed it briefly. It might come up under "hunting apps and mapping" or something like that.
