New App

It works OK on both iPad and phone, no problems looking for sites using the map and checking availability / price. I’ve not to date booked anything on it though, I have always used the web site. Personally I prefer the website, as the App only works in portrait, so the map is either a narrow unusable slit or the whole screen. You can’t use it half in half like on the web site.
However, my main issue with it is that it is nothing but a front end to the web site. It does not work offline for searches, as was possible with the old one. About the only use for it offline is to display the membership card and I think it only does that if you were logged in before going offline. It beggars belief that they sent out an email before Christmas suggesting that members might want to forgo the site directory and use the app instead. It really needs to at least have the option of downloading site / CL data for offline use.

There is a new update to the App, at least there is in the App Store. It doesn’t seem to do a lot though. It is still just a front end to the web site, the only off line functionality seems to be access to your cards and it still only works in portrait. It is perhaps a bit more fluid in its map handling, but that’s about it I’m afraid.☹️

I am still waiting for a response from HO about my original post from 15th Jan, which I believe Ro has twice forwarded to them. Disgusting behaviour from what is supposed to be a members club. Would someone please report this post as the last time it was done I did get a response from Ro.

Looks like your reporting has stirred the pot a little, as I received an email from Ro today. I will wait and see if my reply results in a satisfactory outcome. Thanks again.

It looks as if I will have to resort to posting a comment on Trust Pilot about my attempt to get something sorted about the app and my membership card on my Google wallet. My last correspondence with the "club" was another email to Ro on the 21st but have not yet had an acknowledgement of that, and nothing from the IT dept. Let's see what a negative comment on Trust Pilot brings.

Dont hold your breath, my comment on TP re renewing membership received a very ordinary "I dont care" response and clearly staff do not talk to each other as some are not aware of problems within the system, back in the day you would have had a team meeting at least once per week to discuss ongoing issues and make sure everybody was singing from the same hymn sheet.

Well Rufs, I don't know if my comments on here had any effect, but today I received an email from Rowena inquiring if I had heard from the guy in their IT section, well I think that is where he is based. As nothing had been forthcoming from him I passed this on to Ro who says she will chase it up.

Another update. I have received emails from both Ro and from the E-Commerce Manager, Marketing, no less, who says that he will look into the matter, so progress. Wonder if the mention of TP spurred this renewed interest?

Had another email from Richard, the e-Commerce Manager to the effect that they cannot find out why my membership date has not changes, but that they are developing a change to the App to auto expire old cards within the Apple/Google wallet to ensure the most recent card is the only one shown. I wait with baited breath!
