Hello!
Love the app. But recently I've noticed that my number of finds is perpetually 5 less than what shows on geocaching.com. This is causing it to put the wrong number for finds on my logs with [number]. I did find 5 lab caches a few days ago which could possibly be what threw it off, but I have 100+ adventure lab caches so I don't know what would have made these not count.
I've seen the number wrong before by one or two, but it eventually catches up. I've been out finding caches two days and it continues to be 5 off.
Any ideas on how I can get it to match up?
Thanks
The app gets the total number of finds from the API, it is not calculated. Are you taking into account Adventure Lab finds which the API doesn't give the app?
Hi. Didn't mean to insinuate that it was calculated. I understand it pulls through the API. Now that you say it, I realize it doesn't show lab caches in the daily finds summary. But it usually seems to pick them up on the total finds within minutes from what i recall.
I just checked again and it has the correct total finds number now! It was 5 finds behind for 3 days that I'm aware of. If the API doesn't give the app lab caches in the daily "Found Statistics" totals, how does it get them for the total finds? And is there something that I can do to force some kind of update the next time I notice this?
Thanks
Your user stats are retrieved when starting the app. You can also update dynamically by tapping the smiley icon on the home screen. I'm not sure what Groundspeak provides for total find count... I just know the API doesn't provide a way to retrieve lab cache data directly.
I had been tapping the smiley for days. Not sure what took so long for it to update, just glad it did.
Thanks for the response, enjoying the app.
