Did you notice the snippet in the February magazine that the Club plans to launch a new product at the February NEC show?

Now what could that be?  A CC App perhaps?

    One provided by a third party, that we're expecting to pay for, but really is unnecessary.

    If its just the app that is hardly earth shattering!!! There are lots of rumours on other forums, like charging for hardstandings, charging for dogs but I can't see those two things being anything to shout about!!!

    I reckon it's the new sites app.  Although the app is released, there is no publicity as yet.  They were waiting for the iPad version to be released before hitting the publicity button.

    Whatever it is, I'm sure we will all be underwhelmed.Frown On the other hand Grimstead could break the habit of a lifetime.. If it was for the benefit of the membership they would have announced it to the membership. Having chosen just to tell it to customers at the NEC show it can't be important. Surprised  I'm sure we will be informed soon.

    Judging by the amount of electricity some caravans are using on sites these days, I reckon the Club are introducing a monitoring system for each individual pitch

    As I said earlier the bet seems to be on the App although its not something I would get that excited about. If it was anything more profound you could argue that th NEC is not the right place to announce it?

    Steady on that would be too radical.

    Maybe they will hold a competiton to find an alternative for the word error.  Thus at a stroke eliminating all error pages

    Well I see the iPad version has appeared in the App Store, although so far it does not look a lot different from the phone version. However, still investigating.

    I downloaded this app a couple of days ago. I'm using it on an iPad. Well hope the launch isn't the CC Site app. It is full of bugs. If the CC have paid a developer they should be asking for a refund. Some of the bugs include when looking a a site in Glastonbury
    I went to the map and directions, then view on map and it showed the location as Wetherby, well I suppose it's the same country. Another example is once a search has been made for an area and the list of sites comes up the sort by site type button at the top
    doesn't work. Just wondered if others had similar problems?

    I haven't experienced this, but may I suggest you report it to appfeedback@caravanclub.co.uk giving as much detail as you can,  including the device you are using.

    I haven't experienced these particular problems.

    Many thanks

    You're not haveing the same problem I was having are you using an Android smart phone. What map are you bringing up? It only seems to work well with Google Maps when you are are online. Using off line maps or any other mapping than Google Maps seems a bit
    hit and miss.

    I tried a search using Glastonbury and it worked fine on my Android phone and Google Maps on line.

    I had a look on the CC's news and events section this morning.  No mention of any announcement. They are really good at  failing to communicate with the membership.    If they have something to announce just do it,,, stop faffing around. Surprised

    Thanks for that Steve.  My Bookmark is set to CT so I might not have seen that for months!

    I wonder if the bookings made in the publicity stunt will actually be taken up or cancelled?

    Whoopee Do  -- It was only an App as most of us suspected. Much ado about nothing.   Why the big secret by Grimstead, sounds a bit childish, we all knew about it anyway.

    Put it on iPad and Anderoid tablet, so slow as to be unuseable. Could drive to the sites and book them quicker! Won't be bothering with them any further.

     Cheers
