Developer is AWESOME!! :-) This app is great! I've never had any problems at all and the only reason i'm ever late is cause i'm being lazy. But the best part is the developers sense of humor..he is continuously cracking me up! Keep up the good work!

Great App-persistent bug This is the best app I've found for CTA tracking. It's easy to use, thorough, and has a variety of features. However, I'm having an issue with any routes I set up in the Trek Tracker module (ie those that aren't already set up in My Treks). Half the time, my screen freezes and says, "loading" and I can neither change anything, nor go back. Sometimes this lasts for several minutes, and thus somewhat negates the purpose of an app that one uses to get immediate results. Help? Thanks!
