very amusing

C70%

I had a fun adventure.

E70%
by E####:

Lightweight and works great. If you can't make it to the hash point, it's not the app's fault.

C70%
by C####:

It works.

C70%
by C####:

I live in Montana. The hash is always unreachable unless one were a regular mountain climber. I am not at all able to do that, sadly.

D70%

Best geohashing app

Maybe Perfect

The new update looks great

D70%
by D####:

A really useful geohashing app. I use it all the time and greatly appreciate the absence of nagging ads. I'd like one more feature when uploading to the Wiki. I'd like to be able to set the categories Expeditions and Coordinates reached / not reached. --Sourcerer Thanks!

D70%
by D####:

Still generates random adventures and that's great.

C70%
by C####:

It can't retrieve the stock info. Can I do that manually?

C70%
by C####:

Missing functionality since upgrading to 4.4

C70%
by C####:

Would be great if it could alert me when if the day's location is within a specified area.

C70%
by C####:

Whoot!

C70%
by C####:

Does exactly what the web generator does! I've had no problems with this app, and all of us nerds love our Android phones. (It's linux in disguise)

C70%
by C####:

The app is perfect! The locations aren't picked by a person, it's an algorithm. Sometimes the locale is inaccessible-just try again tomorrow.

C70%
by C####:

Would be better if it displayed the point to greater accuracy (rounds three more places than online). Nonetheless, amazing app, so glad i found it!

I70%
by I####:

Great app ... please make it possible to visialise other geohash from the adjacent graticules

C70%
by C####:

Excellent!

C70%
by C####:

Its most likely me..but..I don't see what the big hairy deal is with this

C70%
by C####:

Cool app if you like geocaching. but what the hell is xkcd..?

P70%
by P####:

Holy cow! I can't believe how full-featured this app is already. Keep up the good work for all us crazy XKCD'ers out there :)

N70%
by N####:

Adding photos doesn't work quite right on Sprint Hero. Camera doesn't open.

C70%
by C####:

Love the idea, will do this when one is closer to home.

C70%
by C####:

Awesome idea! Of course I should have expected it, since so many of us nerds use Android. :D

C70%
by C####:

Run! It's a velociraptor in disguise!

C70%

Awesome app. Works great!

H70%
by H####:

Jesse, you're using a Google phone, Google it :)

M70%
by M####:

Running on Android 4.4.2 on an LG G3, this app no longer has full functionality. Location and mapping functions work, but there is no way to invoke settings, change locations, or do anything other than the most basic operations.

R70%
by R####:

Does exactly what is says on the tin, and works great. Just hope a future update includes a daily notification on where my nearest geohash is located.

M70%
by M####:

This app is fun, but it keeps running unless you manually stop it, even if you turn off the phone's GPS. This app could use the addition of an EXIT function to fully shut it down when not in use.

Z70%
by Z####:

I really love this app. Is it possible to add the global hash to the interface though? It would be great not to have to look it up everyday. Thanks!

M70%
by M####:

I love XKCD, and I love it when people create some of the cool ideas that come out of the comics. App works well no issues even on my old Droid Eris.

M70%
by M####:

Great interface but needs a little more intelligence added to the algorithm? I live near a lot of water and the location is almost always in the Ocean.

M70%
by M####:

Works very well. I find the map functionality to be excellent. But I wish there was a way to display the globalhash as well! Also, kinda minor, but it would be nice if you could store parts of the map locally, so that they are available offline.

Y70%
by Y####:

Works great, can't wait to get out there this summer!

M70%
by M####:

Just needs the ability to screenshot itself and it will be almost perfect! :-)

M70%
by M####:

Works really well, just like it is supposed to. Spontaneous adventures HO!

Geeks unite!!!
