Admin – PClub – Instruct – App FAQ for Pathfinders

FAQ: Your New Pathfinder App is Here! 🎉​

Why am I introducing a new app?

This app is all about making life easier and keeping our amazing community connected! 💖 It’s designed to:

  • Simplify communication between members.
  • Give you quick, organized access to events and resources.
  • Replace some functions of the existing website, email, and Facebook group.
  • Provide fast updates—no waiting for app store downloads!

Think of it as your one-stop shop for everything Pathfinder-related. Woot! Woot!

No app store downloads required—yay! You’ll access the app through a web link on your phone or computer. Once there, you can add it to your home screen or desktop to use it just like a regular app.

The bonus? Since it’s a web-based app, updates happen automatically. No need to download anything extra. 🙌

It’s super simple, Beautiful! Here’s how:

  • For iPhones:
  1. Open the link in Safari (or Chrome).
  2. Tap the Share icon (a square with an arrow pointing up).
  3. Select Add to Home Screen, and you’re done! 🎉
  • For Android:
  1. When you visit the site, a pop-up should appear asking if you want to add the app to your home screen.
  2. If the pop-up doesn’t show, open the browser menu and look for the “Add to Home Screen” option.

Need help? We’ve got you covered with step-by-step video tutorials for both iPhones and Androids!

We’re starting with some fantastic features to help you stay connected and organized:

  • News Feed: Get all the latest updates in one place.
  • Members Page: Initially, this will just include admins, but it’s going to expand soon!
  • Events Calendar:
  • View events in multiple ways: list, month, week, or day views.
  • Filter by event type (like public, Pathfinder-only, or group hikes).
  • Subscribe to calendars so events show up directly in your favorite calendar app!

It’s just the beginning, but there’s sooo much more to come!

This calendar is next-level awesome! 🚀 Here’s why:

  • It offers more detailed views (month, week, day, etc.).
  • You can filter events by type (like public events or Pathfinder-exclusive happenings).
  • You can subscribe to the calendar, so events sync directly to your preferred calendar app.
  • Event links will show up in your synced calendar, so you don’t even have to open the app to find details.

Say goodbye to juggling calendars—you’re going to love this! 💕

We’re just getting started! Here’s a sneak peek at what’s coming:

  • Resource Vault: A treasure chest of downloads and videos.
  • Member Profiles: Share info with other members, with full privacy controls.
  • Forums: Chat about specific topics with fellow Pathfinders.
  • Event Videos & Timelines: Watch videos directly in the app and see member updates in real time.

And yes, the Facebook group will stick around for now, but this app will eventually be the main hub for everything.

  • All members (including Paper Path members) get access to the app and its basic features.
  • Pathfinder’s Plus Club members, who pay an additional $4/month, get exclusive goodies like forums and premium features.
  • Scholarships: If finances are tight, we’re planning to offer scholarships to the Plus Club level so no one misses out!

Rest assured, Beautiful—every member will enjoy the upgrades we’ve already introduced.

We LOVE hearing from you! 💌 Your feedback is the secret sauce to making this app the best it can be. Here’s how you can reach out:

  • Leave comments in the app (on specific event pages).
  • Email the admin anytime.
  • For personal or private matters, use the private messaging option in the app.

Every suggestion helps us grow and improve. Don’t hold back—you ROCK!

That’s it, Beautiful! The new app is here to make your life easier and bring our community even closer together. We’re soooooo excited for you to start using it. Let’s go! 🎉 💕
