Support / Two small issues with v11.2.8
Two issues with v11.2.8 that I updated last night.

First when I look at someone's profile from a caches "View profile" the upper part of the page above the "Tabs" displays my profile stats and pictures every time but from the "Tabs" row down it's their profile information.

Second is the "Newest" search has lost something. When I looked this morning for what caches may have been published overnight, I just get one already found cache nearby when yesterday I got more than 10 with 2 FTF. Rechecking those FTF from the previous search, I still see them as unfound FTF. I have notice that over the last few updates that this feature had started to show issues like the "Newest" listing not updating the icons of new caches to your FTF icon (like previous versions) unless selected and that listing is not highlighted any longer.

Thanks for your time and all the hard work you put in to keep this awesome app going...

Requests / Default sorting of picture directory
Just having a small annoyance in the process of adding pictures to a log.

When adding pictures to the cache logging process, you select to grab the photo from the Gallery, the sorting of the directory displayed each time you enter defaults to "File name (A to Z)". Have to go into setting and change the sorting to "Modified (newest first)" to get the most recent photos added to displayed. Could you add to the request for the directory displayed to default to the "Most Recent" photo to save the extra steps required each time to find the pictures just taken.

Support / Issues with deleting downloaded GPX
Have notice this issue before when trying to remove a downloaded file either in a GPX form or a Bookmark List. You download one file and it seems to delete it fine but have more than one file loaded and it does some strange stuff from adding the 2 together to copying the file with and empty listing even though it shows the count. As you see in the first picture, I have multiple listings of the same files. This was caused by my trying to delete one of them over and over. The second picture is what happen when I just deleted the top "Hidden Month Fort Worth". It didn't delete that file name and added to the bottom another copy of "Hidden Date DFW". Looking at the files individually the 2 "Fort Worth" files are empty and the other 3 "DFW" files are all the same. Both files worked fine before I tried to delete the "Fort Worth" File. I have to exit out of the app totally to correct the issue. When reloaded it has just one file the DFW. I have tried to delete 1 of 4 files download, have to reset to cleanup, and had it come back with one 1 of the 3 files that should be remaining. If I stay with one file at a time all is ok. It's when I have more than one file loaded that things get confused while merging or deleting. This happens with downloaded bookmark list and GPX files from Geocaching.com and/or Project-gc GPX's files.

Support / Things are not working in v10.5
I have just downloaded the update to v10.5 and trying to select a cache from the map and get nothing. App keeps saying I have to select a cache even when I have one selected. Displays a whole new popup but won't select the cache to navigate to. Can't seem to get any thing to work when it comes to locating GZ with the app, whether I use Live Maps or a downloaded list, doesn't show distance to cache. No way to log if I found it or not as well....  Just a Heads up. Running on a android Samsung s9.

Support / No logging options with a "LIST" of caches
Notice over the weekend that we had received an update to v10.2.14 which corrected previous issue of "Template" logging (Thanks) but with this update, I've lost all options of logging a cache that is in a "List" of caches. Used this feature of loading a "List" of caches Saturday on the weekend trip we planed. I logged 3 caches with no issues early Saturday morning. Later that day I was unable to log any cache in any list from the app anymore. Lost all options but "Show on Map, Navigate to, and Go to web page". Went to 'Live Map" and logging was find so used it the rest of trip. Also notice that "Snippets" stop as well but didn't get to test much. Still can't get the addition of the "Found using Geooh Go" to logs when using "Template" file. Really hope we can get all the bugs worked out of the logging section since you have really made it powerful with all its options.

Just an added thought:

1. Not sure if it can be done but being able to use the "Placeholders" in the "Log Header and/or Footer" section like they are used in the "Template" file. I would then use the internal "Header/Footer" logging process more often because you can change/personalize these log entries quickly if needed. Using the "Template" file input for the special stuff.

2. If above can't be done then if we could use still use the "Log" text input line during the logging process with a "Template" file to add a personal input to a log as a header (optional).  This could be useful ether way.

Again thanks for a great app and for your time

Support / Log Templates
I got the Log Templates working again with it finding my file good and using it with placeholders correctly (v10.2.12). The issue I have is with the logging process. When I wish to log a cache as a find and I have the "Use Template File" flag checked, it still requires me to input an entry on the "Log Text" line. At first I though it would allow me to add this entry to the beginning of the Template file but no matter what I put into this field it goes nowhere??? This adds 4 extra steps in the log process of just putting something in to that line to log the caches which is not needed if all the info is in the Template file. Need to make the "Log Text" line not mandatory when the "Use Template File" flag is checked and if you do input something there it could be added to the start of the Template text as a special entry for just that cache. Just a thought
