MOBILE APP
The mobile app associated with this site is called trekking-etc/viewer.
Due to the redesign of the site, its availability has been temporarily suspended.
A functionally identical version will be developed and published, but completely redesigned internally, using cross-platform technologies.
These technologies allow to obtain, from a single source code base, the same app on different operating systems, as Android and iOS.
This is a very demanding activity in terms of hours of work and tuning, and the more support we receive, the faster we will make progress.
Please support us:
Thank you!
