Leave a Review RRC
App is working awesome!
Edit: Apologies for the less than grateful sounding review before. The app is working much better now! It’s a must have if you’re climbing in the red. Thank you Ray for all of the hard work you’ve put into the building and upkeep of this app.
This app works as well as the circular piece of cardboard blocking the view into the rectangular window in the women’s bathroom stall at Miguel’s. The website was awesome but now it is the same layout as the app and neither will load any info.Show lessNicole_review

I migrated the site and all of its data over to a new platform that is WAY easier to maintain. It allows me to make code updates in one place and push out to both the app and the website. Hang in there with me though with the lack of features and decreased performance. I had to make the cut-over because it was becoming a pain to keep the website in sync with the app. Plus my bill with maintaining both the new platform (which hosted Foxtown bouldering) and the old RRC was getting pretty expensive. Rather than moving Foxtown over to an old school platform I decided to move RRC over to the new stuff. It'll get better, I promise. I've got some great help now too.Still a little crunchy..
First of all I’m grateful for all the work Ray has put in over the decades to make a series of wonderful guidebooks as well as the RRC.com website which was absolutely awesome.. This app, while helpful for beta on the loads of new development not included in the guidebooks, pales in comparison to the functionality of the old website. It is glitchy and gets hung up, map is minimally useful with lack of links to walls, usernames revert to email addresses, and the ‘show on topo’ feature is nonexistent for me.. If there was a proper and functional online guide I’d be fine with paying for it if that would help get it done- I don’t need everything to be free if it means compromising the user experience. I really just miss the old RRC.com and it’s wealth of information and ribald banter. This isn’t meant to be a complaint as much as constructive criticism to help improve the app. Thanks Ray!Show lessMyke Dronez

Thanks Myke. Check out the latest version of the app for a better layout and fix for the "show on topo" functionality. Linking to walls and routes is in the works still.You can do it Ray!
I came here to rant about all the bugs with this app. BUT then I read a response to a previous review from the developer, legend Ray Ellington. I feel for ya man. Making the transition from the old website to this must be quite the process. I hope that you and your team are able to get this app dialed. Also I hope that in the future, all of the data will be able to be cached or saved onto my device so the app doesn’t have to reload it every time I use it and so I can access the info while I’m romping out in the north gorge trying to figure out which splitter crack I’m gonna get on!
This app has the potential to be awesome! I’m excited to use it once the kinks are worked out.Show less059409551
