ALGCA rooster app

I have to say, this ALGCA rooster app is really terrific!

IT will show everyone on it where you are, and will show you where  they
are, in nearly real time. Excellent!

If more loopers start using, it will be a great social, and information
tool for us to use.

See you in  Paradise!

I think the APP is pretty useless. Its not easy to use. Its not intuitive. I
don't know who the software authors thought would be using this program but
it appears to me they didn't give the end user much thought.
I have logged into the AGCLA web site and reported my position every day
with the Looper Locator. But the app doesn't read it. It's a simple thing to
do but it doesn't.  I tried the APP and think its not written very well. No
options to read your GPS position, all you can do is SEARCH. The map
defaults to HOUSTON area and doesn't remember the last map location. Its
cumbersome and hard to use. For me its not useful.
After reading your email, I thought I would give it another try. I'm in 4G
service. The app just sits there and spins.....cant complete a SEARCH.
Canceled it. Tried to SEARCH again...still spinning.

Can you see where I am? I updated my position on the LOOPER LOCATOR site of
AGCLA last night.
