HuntStand Sync Issues

Any one run into the hunting areas not syncing on HuntStand?

I have extensively ran the app for 4 or more years now and this is the first time my maps have not wanted to sync.

I tried deleting maps I don't use and have logged in/out multiple times!

Any help will be appreciated, thanks!
 
I generally have to wait a while for my iPhone data to sync over to the PC. But when I go from PC to iPhone it’s been syncing fine.
 
Alright guys, I've figured it out!

HuntStand is primarily designed to be mapped and updated by desktop or laptop. I don't understand why but it is. A desktop is the only place that holds true data and lets all features be applied. The only thing you can't do from desktop is GPS your current location and Sync. Syncing is for the on the go app via mobile device.

With that being said, the mobile device draws the data from desktop edits via Sync. No matter which desktop you've used to update, they will all be updated online. Once accessed from the mobile app, you draw that data from online.

I've seen multiple people saying that logging out of all platforms and devices sometimes fixes it, but most of the time this is not feasible. Some others have said clear your data and start fresh....ya no... don't do that. Think of the hours and time you've put boots on the ground to map and pin point all that info.

Do this one simple thing. Refresh the app by deleting it completely from your mobile devices and re-downloading it! Once you re-download it, it reads it as first time access and re-ups all of your data. From there you should be able to Sync without issues as I did just that! It kind of clears the app cache on your phone in a way.

I've had HuntStand for 5 years now looking back and this is the first time I have had an issue like this. Hope this helps everyone! Happy hunting!

I really like the price of the free version of hunt stand. Over time I have had so many way points, and property lines I had spent hours tracing out just disappear.
 
Apple device but the data was missing from the pc as well. On just about every property I hunt the property lines are off. They are the right size and shape but they just don’t line up. I have drawn corrected property lines and that’s what has been the biggest thing to disappear.
I also miss my free 10 property owner info per month. I guess if I’m going to keep using it I should upgrade.

Hmm that's strange... I have noticed sometimes if signal is weak or if you try to load maps too fast that the property lines will be off. I've found that even OnX does it at times. I haven't had any issues since I've been a paid member! Good to know though!

Onxhunt lost a waypoint I needed recently. I selected save not delete and there was no delete confirmation. It is just gone. I'll have to find it by looking. So 1970s. :)

Are they off compared to the county GIS info, or what you know to be the correct lines?

Yep, I have a property that’s the same. One boundary is about 10-15 acres off. It’s a good reminder that HuntStand & OnX as well,I believe,pulls its info from the GIS, so it may not be 100%.

Just wanted to revive this thread with the solution real quick guys. UNINSTALL AND REINSTALL THE APP! I don't know how or why, I am not techy, but it worked. No issues since early October now!

I’m having an issue loggin in. my password on my iPhone iOS 18 is generated by the password utility which normally on other apps populates my credentials for me and logs me in.

i can get logged in but its funky now on the desktop it works fine. I thought perhaps the referenced website in the password setup may not be what HuntStand wants but I dunno

i’ve had a lot of issues honestly. Like scouting and adding a note to a waypoint. It presents the keyboard and that doesn’t allow you to enter text for your note because it stays up and covers the note entry area. when you do get a single line note entered the save button is not enabled.

if I turn on public land or hunting land it doesn’t stay on for that hunt area.

But I absolutely love the date filtering !!!

HuntStand has been a nightmare since the “update”. I lost all my data, working with support currently to try and figure out what is up there. A few other issues:
1: Can’t get app to load with no data. Have offline maps saved but can’t get to them because the loading screen stays blurred out, attempting to connect to cell service…. Well that completely defeats the purpose of offline maps!?!
2: Google contours map is no longer on the iPhone app. Used this map more than any other map. Really disappointed and hoping they just are working through bugs.

I really wish they’d just push the old version back out. I really liked HS over OnX for certain reasons, but if it stays this way OnX will win me over. Sadly I just re-upped my subscription before the update.

I still have the old version. I'm avoiding the update because of the poor reviews here but, this is a problem for me to. The only solution I've found is turn your phone on airplane made and the app will load instantly with your offline maps available. It seems to get stuck trying to load online maps unless your phone is either in airplane mode or SOS.

I used HS before and none of the other apps have date filtering. So I came back and initially it brought back all my markers.

And based on the number of markers I used HS a lot.

But version 8 to me, is just unusable.

I really want them to be able to recover but I worry fixing version 8 is going to take monthly updates a lot of quality testers.

It feels like coding and testing has been outsourced but I dunno.

I’ve been trying all sorts of things v8 for me is just unusable…just way too many issues I can’t use it in the field. My sub expires in 2025 I’ll load any upgrades because I REALLY want to use HuntStand.

Honestly, to me, they need to be doing monthly upgrades sadly it looks like they have chosen to do one fix it all release. I think thats what caused v8 to be a nightmare..hoping they get it fixed but not optimistic

I’ve had so many issues with HuntStand, as well. I’ve been in contact with CS and said the same thing - the old version was 100x better. Not only are there so many bugs, but the layout and process of doing simple tasks have been made so much more complicated. I wish I never updated it.

Agree, when I have no cell service even with a downloaded map its not good. Usually as soon as i try to add anything it removes all my iPhone hunt areas but one and it picks the one it keeps however it picks it.

But …I LOVE DATE FILTERING so I hang on. ONX just works but they seem to think Date Filtering is a low priority feature and creating an iWatch interface is super important …yea having a 1000 waypoints on a 1x1 watch is super important
