News on Go-Detect app??

[Rothman]

Has anyone heard any news or even rumors about when the Go-Detect app is going to be fixed and usable? I have some spots that are huge and being able to map them on GPS would be fantastic.

Just over a week and apparently everyone else knows as much as I do....

As much as I LOVE my Deus, I'm a bit disappointed that XP didn't get the app ready in time for the V4 release. I'm even more disappointed that there isn't even a projected time frame for one of the biggest features (in my opinion) of the new firmware.

Agree it's disappointing. If XP lives up to their track record for meeting SW release dates, I would not hold my breath. As for me I have moved on to two different apps: ztracks for Google My Tracks functionality for tracking ground coverage during a hunt and OnX hunts (paid subscription required) to provide on map private and public property lines, gps tracking, and photo/gps metadata capture of significant finds. Can be used independent of the detector type I happen to be swinging at the time. I use it to determine how thoroughly I am covering a specific site, ensuring I stay within the permission property boundaries, determining find/type concentration/density/grouping, and for doing research on potential private and public property hunt sites. A little pricy, but it is a great app that does a lot of things well.

I'll have to check out the ztracks one. I don't really want to pay for an app with Go-detect Pending(). I really want to use it like you said, to make sure I've completely covered an area.

Any news on this? I'm quite interested in this myself. However I understand the go-detect app is not of XP making, just supported by the deus?

No nothing yet. I imagine it will be a while since we are waiting on app developers.

I emailed XP and this was the response. Looks like it will be a while.

Hello,
Just to clarify... the "XP Detect" app for Android isn't the same as the Go-Detect that you are talking about here? I downloaded the XP Detect app and it connects/works on my machine. Could you please clarify for me?

No they are different. Go-Detect is supposed to be the official app for XP. What I don't know is if it is also being developed for Android. So this begs the question if XP Detect is considered to be the official app for Android?

I don't have any insight into any of the apps.
When it comes to that kind of stuff my son just rolls his eyes at me.
It will be great to use when they do get all the bugs worked out.

And WELCOME Spymoto

Ironic that they are developing an apple only app, yet they do not support firmware version upgrades using an Apple OS. That makes sense.

True statement. I bet there would be less issues with the software that calls home for an update too lol.

There servers are not accepting new registration on the "Go-Detect" app. Or maybe it's just I am not on WiFi although I can't see that being the issue. Apple is a little easier to code in my mind and they all ready have an Android base app so they probably just have to recode.
I really hate the fact everything phones home, and does some type of check with there servers.
Anyone update the firmware on the remote lately? Maybe there is some new changes lol....

A year later, I am still looking for the Go Detect app on the Google Play store, to no avail. Has anybody got any inside information?
