New improved version is fine

Works well for us. Previous reviews are old ones.

Terrible

Still a dog. Doesn’t update features when you add them, e.g Pops, dump stations - you think there’s none but no, it’s the faulty app 🤯

Frustrating

The app is useful for finding various locations and the filtering system works well. But the photo uploading system does not work.

Useless

Totally useless. Search function doesn’t work. Trying to download printable list of NZMCA sites- no luck. Struggling with the app when off line. At least Travel Directory worked every time. Please bring it back!

Special characters

Can you please fix the special characters so we can correctly use Te Reo spelling. Macrons are currently turned into question marks. Eg Taup? Instead of Taupō

Hopeless

It is obvious that the money that the club is making is not going to the development of the app. Compared to the old app, which was based on the Campmate app, was superior in all aspects. The present app is unstable, hangs, hides parks until you maximise zoom level, has no links to the parks etc. it’s the simplest way of searching.and the filter functions cannot be trusted.
Sad to have to just let it go and go back to the old catalogue again.

Average to poor, still.

Another year gone by and many of the main issues haven’t been solved. The summary numbers in circles are still horrible. Uploading photos on the road still almost always fails. Sometimes you are uploading photos to a listing with “no photos”, only for lots of photos to show up on the ipad version of the app! So don’t assume you automatically see what you are supposed to.
It can take ages to refresh the listings over mobile, and often needs to do so daily.

For anyone who’s had enough, try CamperMate, which was the dna for the old NZMCA app and still carries all the same benefits.

Login

Weird that we have no issues logging in from laptop yet can’t reliably login from app. Very frustrating.

POS

Uses way too much data each time it loads! When it does load! Stuck on loading comments again. Delete app, reload, find what I want, rinse and repeat.
Seriously, whoever designed and developed this app obviously doesn’t use it.

Always problems

This needs to be sorted out. Useless otherwise

App Perfermance

When this app is working as intended it’s great but I agree with the other comments that the locations disappear and the only way to get them functioning again is to delete the app and reinstall it. Frustrating. It’s a problem being ignored if you read comments on the NZMCA Facebook page. It would be great if the developers would sort this.

Unreliable

My husband and I are travelling round Nz just now. Identical phones (only 6 months old) newest version of Ap. We get different results for the same filter. Husband has way less than me. On my phone I often can’t pay. Husband can.
It stalls, it doesn’t load. Then it can work perfectly. It is unbelievably unreliable.

Disappointing

Won’t even load up now oh dear

Lost ? You will be

Since the last update 1.0.33 directions to some places our campgrounds has been off kilter. 4 out of 4 wrong in the last week Simes by a few meters out wrong side of the road others by several kilometers. I’ve used both Apple Maps and Google maps and been sent in opposite directions!!!

Latest update crashes

Crashes on startup. No problems with earlier versions. We are travelling and it’s a real inconvenience as we use the app extensively. Hope it’s fixed promptly.

so much promise, under delivers

im disappointed with the fact that icons disappear and arent on the app until you zoom way in. Its frustrating.
Sometime it freezes - and all filters disappear.

And most disappointly - i dont have perfect vision. the colour coded icons before were fantastic. now they are all the same colour. Why cant they be colour and the abbreviation on them?
i loved the old app - new app is underdelivering

Use CamperMate instead

What a waste of space! Takes ages to load if you lucky. Better using something else and given it cost a fortune to develop a waste of members money

This app now has quite a few problems

This use to be a great app.

However, since the update it doesn’t seem to work…. Places don’t show up… you can’t click on stuff… Data on sites seems to be missing.

I’ve spoke to a few other NZMCA members and they feel the same. So I’m going to uninstall it and looks for an app that works.

Great App

Great app and works very well.

Crashes constantly, then loses the listings when it does work.

This app is absolutely terrible. Over 50% of the time it crashes and then when it does open all the info vanishes and you can’t do anything on it.
If NZMCA paid a developer for this they should get a refund.
