I was going to ask the same question also, I might be getting an android phone soon.

I was also going to ask something different, but I may have an answer to you.
I've tested Lazarillo, I've tested also Get Here, Seeing Assistant Move whitch I'm the new spanish translator, Dot Walker whitch was awesome but now I losed the developer cause of him betraying Google, Nearby explorer witch only works in North America... Any other new gps app steing developed?

Wait, I thought that Dot Walker was discontinued cause the developer didn't had money for his google subscription. Is he still active or did I missed something?

Is that app into a new name? I don't have the play store link..
Edit: It seems that dw hasn't been updated since 02/20/2019.
Second edit: Or did that app moved to github or something?

You can always use my own app https://justbest.eu/
I developed it for myself, it is a web app, but really useful and works on a both platforms.

2020-02-03 15:59:05

I thaught that you can port it to android and IOS as a native app. I'm still woried about dw however.

Yeah, I could port it though I see no reason for it.

2020-02-04 12:22:25

Ah, I get it. I'm still woried about dw. I don't know why but it was or is a fantastic gps app. Did the developer moved it to git? or did I'm missing something? The play store link seems to be outdated.

Hi guys! The dev has just released a beta version of DW two days ago. I have installed it because I'm the Italian translator! Bye for now.

So where can I find itt? do I have to contact the developer?? Did he uploaded it to google play? If not, what's the new website?
@claudio I've sent you a pm.

Will that beta version of Dot Walker be compatible wht with the stable one?

73 Wj3u

2020-02-05 18:08:08

Hi! Try dot walker pro in  the playstore. I-ve found it but, since I-m a beta tester, it already makes me download the beta version.

Claudio

2020-02-05 18:13:19

I'm not a beta tester. How will I become one?

73 Wj3u

2020-02-05 18:15:54

Ah, and sorry for double posting, but dw has a new website?

73 Wj3u

2020-02-05 18:57:25

Ahh ok, I will try it when I'm home.

I'm sorry to ask many times, but how can I be a beta tester for dot walker? Is there a new website for this app? Or shall I contact de developer? I've sent him an email but no answer. It seems when I download the app normaly the stable versionappears.

@Claudio Ah, and how can I translate or update the spanish language translation for DW? And I didn't asked correctly: How will I become a beta tester for DW? Directly via Playstore or from de developer?

73 Wj3u

2020-02-06 12:31:18

I've sent an other email to the developer of DW. Hope it will give me an answer.

2020-02-06 13:21:10

@claudio, I just have the public stable DW version. How can I get the beta?
Sorry fortr asking toomuch, but I'm just gong. to University

hi! Sorre for the late rensponse: you can request being a beta tester directly from the playstore if the beta group is still open.
To translate the app, simply ask to the developer for the strings.
Hope this helps.
Bye for now.

Claudio

2020-02-06 18:10:05

I don't know if it's still opened, but I may have to se it again. That email is the same as showen in the playstore?

2020-02-06 18:14:26 (edited by electro 2020-02-06 18:15:03)

@Claudio, For me it isn't opened I guess. it's opened for you, or I didn't know it was closed?

2020-02-07 10:54:26

Sorry, electro! I don't know because, as saied before, I'm already in the beta team. The email of the dev is the same your find in the playstore. I know he's a bit busy but try sending emails to him.
