• Ability to choose when to activate the Physical Deploy Booster, along with a timer displayed in-app
  • Ability to hide timer from the map, if desired
• Ability to replace munzees for players that have earned the QRew title
  • To avoid confusion, QRew titles have been updated to hide the options that would normally give players an error, like trying to Edit Location or Archive a munzee that they do not own
  • This same update will be applied for ZeeQRew members once we shutdown v3

• Switched to using Apple Maps in order to provide more up-to-date satellite imagery
  • Note on Data Usage - You may notice an increase in data usage with the latest update using Apple Maps. While all of our other previous data usage improvements are still in place, like caching pins and badges, the map data is no longer being cached at this time. We needed to implement a custom caching system for our previous Map implementation, which was easier to do because the code was entirely open source and available for us to access. With the switch to Apple Maps, we would need to implement another custom map caching system for MapKit (Apple's Map Implementation API), but because their code is not open source, this is a very time-consuming and technically challenging effort. It will take much longer for us to provide a solution. However, we still have this as an engineering task item on our development list to revisit in a future update.
  • Tips for Conserving Data - Each time you reinstall the app, it will use a chunk of your data. If you're planning to do a fresh install, we would recommend waiting until you are able to connect to WiFi. Once downloaded, we also recommend launching the app and panning the map around to high density Munzee areas, in order to start caching the pins that you find. It may also help to go to the Achievements area and scroll through the badges you've earned and special pins you've captured to load them all up. This should help reduce the amount of data used from the initial download, and continue to use less data the next time you go out and play!
• Deploy location is now set when scanning or tapping to deploy, instead of waiting until players reached the Edit Location screen
• You may notice that the blue dot is not automatically updating its location -- we are working on getting a fix for this ASAP!
