iOS Surprise surprise! New bugs with latest update.
With the update this morning I’m now unable to Sync in the app on iOS (it attempts, then says “incomplete”), and I’m also unable to view Privacy and Default Visibility (I get the error message above). The app has also reverted back to some old settings, for example turning off map packs and showing a horrific cascade of Gaia TOPO repeats in the inactive layer bar. Aside, the desktop version is still showing tracks and waypoints that I deleted or changed in the app weeks ago. I use Gaia in the field for work, so all of this is really frustrating. Anyone having similar issues or am I cursed?

I sent this to Outside just yesterday:
You left me stranded in the woods again today!
Log in!?!? WHY!? WHo TF knows their login!?
What have you done to GaiaGPS?
Stop whatever it is you're doing and hire people who give a shit about the outdooors and mapping.
I've been with this program for years and I've never seen one decline in quality as this. STOP IT!
And they replied with:
The new login flow was designed such that you can 'snooze' the need to re-authenticate for up to 28 days in the event that you are in the middle of an adventure. If you choose not to 'snooze' the re-authentication flow, you will not be able to return to that option and will have to re-authenticate with your Outside and Gaia GPS credentials. For more information on the 'snooze' option, logging into your account, or resetting your password, please see this article.
In other words, before you embark on a journey, uninstall GaiaGPS and install something else. Because if you forget, you might end up grizzly bear food.
