Recordings still don’t work/Where are all my practice recordings
Edit review/ you can only record practice calls if connected to internet. I suspect this is because of the microphone on iPhones use your location information if granted permission I wonder why they need your location for such things. It’s all about selling your info to the marketing scum of the earth corporations/Second review still cannot use practice recording feature I was one of original suckers to pay for this app before they ruined it and tried to rip off there customers and now the app is useless for its original intended purpose/ Updated app and lost all my recorded bugles. This was the primary reason why I purchased the app. Now I have lost all me and my sons so much for keeping track of our progression. Not happy.
The Republic is Burning
Excellent elk calling info but run like a side hustle not a professional app
Have had this for a couple years now. The content is great - I find it educational. The code needs some improvement, especially related to downloading content for use offline. The downloaded content no longer works offline. When I emailed for help, I got a half-hearted response that did not resolve the issue and then crickets. Given how much time I spend out of service in prep for and during season, not being able to access the content diminishes the app’s value.
