A memorial to lost things

This app, like so many good things, has become part of the past. There is much to love in the future still, but nostalgia stings sweetly.

Unable to post messages

I love the concept, but trying to post a message of any kind just causes the app to crash immediately.

A Hunter is never alone.

I suspect that servers are offline for this app, but I keep it installed and check back periodically just in case. Used to use it every time I travelled. Great idea.

Fun Idea, But Dead Servers

I love the idea of this app, but the servers appear to be offline as of now

The app doesn’t work

I just downloaded the app and the idea for it is amazing, and I got excited for a moment, but when I tried to post a message, it said “failed to connect to server, tap to try again”
I live in Canada so I don’t know if it’s an issue of location, but it’s very disappointing to see it not work with such an amazing idea behind it. Hopefully you (the creator of this app) will see this and I hope you’re able to fix this bug because this would be a great app to use and have fun with my friends.
