Hey folks. You may have noticed that we finished adding the first round of the town guide to the AT Hiker app last month. And since this is a project that will be ongoing, I'm sure you'll have suggestions for places to add in each town, or edits that need to be made. Just to keep suggestions organized on our end,
if you'd like us to include a business in a town, please send info to Susan at [email protected], or preferably get someone from the business to email her.
We're trying to keep the town guide narrowed to relevant hiker services for now, so things like resupply, lodging, dining, outfitters, libraries, post offices, and so on. We might add other things like local entertainment in the future, but for now I want to keep things simple.
Also, feel free to use the comments section on each waypoint to share your experiences, but keep it respectful. I've already had one prominent hostel ask to be removed from the app because of vulgar and hateful comments left in the app about people working there.
Thanks for your support here, and on the trail! The comments I've seen here and everyone's contacts with us through email and Facebook have been really encouraging, and we're always trying to make the app better for all of you.
