I love the idea of the app, however you can be in the heart of the park but you don't get full points because you have no signal. Or you can be in the middle of the park but it's not the area they choose for check in. To the Developer - I normally check in at the Visitors Center when I get my passport stamp. For example, when I checked in at The Visitor Center for Fossil Butte, it said I was not within the radius. My phone location is on and set to precise location.

Thank you for the feedback. The way the verified check-in works is that we create a radius around the primary visitor center for a park, and your phone/GPS has to be within that in order to receive the full check-in points and verified badge.

I really like this app, but the check ins to verify are buggyband sometimes crazy. If you are in the park, you should be verified, not just in a specific location of the park. Like RMNP. Only verifies on the east end of the park. Just returned from the mighty 5. Verified in each but was disappointed to see only 2 when i returned home...i even double checked when i verified, as its happened before. Great idea, just needs some tweaking

This app has so much potential! But there are a few things that drive me crazy! First, it is SUPER buggy. It sometimes takes 2 or 3 tries to record I am at a park. Second on my profile page, under # of parks, it ALWAYS says 1! Ugh! If # of check-ins can be accurate why not that?? Finally, PLEASE separate the places i have visited by category! I want the number of national parks separately reported from monuments, historical parks etc.

Sorry for this inconvenience. We have fixed the issue. Please update to the latest version on the Play Store. We are also working on the profile section so that you can view just national parks vs. monuments, etc. More updates coming soon!
