Flagstack - Capture the Flag

The app is small, lightweight, does not drain your battery a lot. It does not require constant in-app purchases to keep playing. It does require a constant data connection, for updates, but uses little data. It will take advantage of offline Google Maps too. As to the game, it's partly a virtual treasure hunt, it's partly a sport; a great way to get out and get exercise, ideally with friends. You need to get near to each virtual flag to capture (cap) it. (All flags stay on the map for others to cap.) Flags are already deployed all over the world; win more flags just by playing, and earn points when others cap your flags. If you are unlucky enough to start to play somewhere there are no flags yet, then it's still worthwhile to start playing, with a friend. Each player gets a bundle of flags to deploy, around their area, and each play day, another free one, and another free for every 10 found, so easy to grow the map in towns or parks. More players boost the fun. As to costs, it's practical to play for free, with infrequent in-app adverts, BUT a cheap annual subscription provides many benefits, which include free special flags, extra daily benefits and no adverts in-app.

Great concept, but the incessant notifications are insane. And even worse, you can't turn them off unless you pay for a premium account. I weighed the options, and decided to uninstall the app. Can't deal with the insane notification tones, and I refuse to be held to ransom over an option that shouldn't be 'premium only'.

Good game but not popular in France so not really interesting to play there. And how can you deactivate the notification in the app?

I don't leave reviews. But after download this game. Witch actually looks like a good game. Realised that enyone who signed up could see my address. As I hadn't put my address in at enytime this is a little scary.

A fun game that you can play even if you're the first in your area. They make it easy to keep playing even if you don't want to or can't spend money.

Fun game to play. 1 Free flag daily so no money needs to be spent.

Quality game and creator keeps it fresh as the game evolves!

Fun game to play while out and about.

I'd like to suggest a special flag for flags placed in an interesting location. This is what makes Geocaching so good and adds much needed depth to an otherwise kind of boring and repetitive game.

Enjoying this game.

I beg you to please stop sending me emails I have unsubscribed 3 times and still you continue to send them

Best app I ever downloaded

Quick and easy treasure hunt

I only just read about this game on Reddit. So far, it looks interesting, although there don't seem to be any other players in my vicinity. The program seems to work well enough with some rough edges. For example, when deploying a flag, if it is too close to another flag, the app tells you that you can move it within the green circle. Unfortunately, the green circle doesn't show up sometimes, so one is left to figure it out by trial and error. The in-app documentation seems a bit lacking. It would be good to have a tutorial on what to do to capture a flag and to place a flag. Also, it would be good to have descriptions of the various types of flags, although that isn't such a problem yet because aside from the welcome flags, I've only seen green flags so far.

Love the game but the app is constantly crashing out when I try to move a flag after deploying. Crashes many times a day :(

Says 42m then when clickef tells me 72m crap software

App telling me disable Mock GPS sadly I don't have any mock GPS apps installed

Doesn't have a point

Awesome game love it

Everyone, check out munzee and geocaching. Munzee is the exact same and their "green flags" are free. Simply make green flags unlimited and free. As well as fix the deploy bugs. And finally it needs an api so apps such as locus can load in the flags.

Do u get a actual flag

Fun GPS game, enjoyed by our whole family

An easy game to play to get you out and about. Low cost too.

App works well and game good to play.

Heard about this from others thought I would try it, love it.

Nice concept. Nearest flags are 225 miles away & I didn't get any Welcome Flags. I will probably drop all of the flags I have & then uninstall.

Updating my review. Things are all working good

The GPS in deploy works great now.

Like the idea of a game based on virtuals. But, to many nessacary features require premium membership. I would think the extra stuff would be inducement alone. But, will never get a premium membership until you fix that deployment bug.

Flags are difficult to see in satellite mode. gps for deploying flags is not very accurate causing me to have to undeploy and try multiple times before it gets close enough to move into the correct position. It shows your blue dot at correct location however you never know where the flag is going to end up.

Also find it lame you can't add friend without being premium. Won't become premium till I'm hooked on this game, won't become hooked on this game without having friends to compete with. GPS works fine of driving to another spot, but of walking a trail it's a pain in the...

gps won't stay on.... moto g

Ever since the update I can't deploy anything and can't get my position in my area now. Please fix this.

Poor attempt at copying a successful app.

I have no mock location afford installed and your app is telling me I do I only have GPS Status and toolbox installed
