I like this, it's easy to use, but another vote for an offline mode or even a batch update feature. The fact that it needs to be connected all of the time and it constantly sends information even when defining a hold on a route essentially makes it unusable in my limited connectivity garage. I wanted this to be what I was looking for, but it's not usable for me in its current build. Cool concept, but I really suggest making some accommodations for users with bad or no connections.

Thanks for your feedback. Unfortunately an offline mode won't be available in the near future because it needs too many changes right now. The data is loaded only when needed. And only the data which is needed for the current task is loaded. To define a hold no connection is needed, but to initialize the editor and to finally save the boulder.

Great app for setting problems on our home wall! Better than several others. Interface is easy to use, and it's great to be able to be very specific about holds (especially for a home wall). Thanks for making it! A few suggestions: 1) I don't see a way to sort problems by grade or search for a range of grades. I only see a way to search for a specific grade. This would be a nice feature. 2) as another user suggested, an offline mode would be amazing. When WiFi is bad the app struggles.

Hi Brandon, thank you very much for your feedback. Searching for a range of grades is on my list but the offline feature is unfortunately quite hard to implement with the basis of the current app so this is not planned yet.

Just got it! It would be helpful, if looking at a gyms boulder list, to see some indication of which boulders I have ticked already and even sort by that. Maybe the name could change color or something once I have climbed it? I had Open Climb, but after a while it becomes a blur of what has been climbed and what hasn't. This is much better than that I think, but I'd still like to be able to sort if that's any easy fix?

Thanks a lot for your feedback. This is already on my todo list and I think I will integrate such a functionality soon. But first the next release will give you the option to mark and filter boulders as not existent anymore which is helpful after resetting the wall. Maybe after that ;)
