Default Is anyone having trouble with The Regular Villages app?

We are new here but when we were down last month for our lifestyle visit I used it all the time. Now whenever I want to use it either my screen is blank or I click on something and nothing happens. I have reinstalled it many times it just never works. Any suggestions. Thanks

Does it say something about updating before it goes blank? When mine does that I force-close the application then restart it and it works fine. This is more than just going back to the home screen, I have to get to the list of apps and slide it off the top of my iphone screen.

Lately I've had to do this three out of four times I used the app.

Works well on bicycle mode. Just be careful to look for no golf cart signs if it directs you onto a road without diamond lanes.

Yes. It says something about updating and then goes blank. Or sometimes it seems like it’s working but if I want to click on something it won’t do anything. I have reinstalled it numerous times. It’s odd because last time we were here I used it a lot.

Start it and let it update until the message goes away. Then force-close the app (actually stop it, not just put it in the background) and immediately start it again. For me, it comes up the second time without updating and works properly.

No, it shouldn't be this complicated but at least you can get it to work.

As others have noted, google maps in bicycle mode works fairly well if you are careful to watch for the "No Carts Beyond This Point" signs.
