### 5/5 — Great App for Boxing!

*2026-05-02*

I love using this app when I travel to search for boxes in the area.  It’s great for boxing on the fly and for saving boxes for later.  Thank you!!!

### 2/5 — Login problems

*2026-04-06*

I hadn’t used the app in a long time. Now I’m trying to use it and it’s asking for my trail name and password. I can’t remember them but it doesn’t give me a reset option

**Developer response:** I am sorry you are experiencing this problem!  You can do many things in Clue Tracker without being logged in, but it is better to log in.  The trail name and passwords are managed by the letterboxing websites:  atlasquest.com and letterboxing.org.  Because our app is independent of those websites the app cannot allow you to create or manage accounts.  You will need to use a web browser to access one or both of those websites in order to reset your password.

### 5/5 — Best addition for letterboxing

*2026-03-15*

This app is my goto when I’m out trekking around cemeteries or parks looking for letterboxes in my home area or when I’m out traveling.  I definitely would not be out as much if I didn’t have access to this app. 

My favorite is the map feature.  I love being able to see where the boxes are compared to where I am located. I don’t pay for premium on AQ and saw the map on there yesterday from someone who does and that map was confusing!! 

Also, the boxers who designed this app are awesome people who I have had the opportunity to meet :-) 

Thank you so much for designing a tool that is INCREDIBLY useful to letterboxers everywhere.

### 5/5 — Absolute best!

If you letterbox, this is a must. Find boxes on the go and log them immediately. So user-friendly, you can’t go wrong.

*2024-09-20*

### 5/5 — Super accessible

*2023-12-05*

I have found Clue Tracker to be efficient and easy to use on the trail. I like how I can organize my letterboxing trips by saving box clues in the backpack. The nearby search work’s impeccably. I highly recommend this app.

### 5/5 — A wonderful way to see what’s around you!

*2023-11-12*

I absolutely love clue tracker. It’s perfect for any impromptu boxing adventures or if I need to check in on a box nearby. Thanks for making this so accessible!

### 5/5 — Easy and handy!

*2023-01-06*

We find ourselves “on the road“ occasionally, when we are not Letterboxing. When I think about it, I will tap my handy app just to see if there are any around. Since we always carry an ink pad and duplicate signature stamp, “Cluetracker” makes us always ready for a Letterbox.
