Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

The only use for an app I can think of is as s tracking device - the last time I used my phone's GPS to track a walk that I did, it was a pain in the bum trying to get the data copied over to Fetch. So a strava replacement would be good.

There's Fetchpoint and Conquercise which might be a lot more fun if you could see the targets coming towards you. And I also thought that we could do live tracking on the website, so that Fetchies could follow the progress of (willing) Fetchies in big races.

Some kind of "track that fetchie" option.

For example if I see a fetchie at a parkrun I might be intrigued as to who they are. If they had this option switched on their phone I could say "yeah it's so and so, they are clearly an idiot because they think that bourbons are the best kind of biscuit and so I am not going to bother talking to them".

So a bit like grindr really....

Sounds good ~ apparently the app title fetchr is already in use :(

I use my phone GPS* to log runs and being able to link directly would be a bonus :D

I'm very new here. Please feel free to ignore me ...

iOS here and happy to help test. I don't generally run with my phone (although sometimes listen to podcasts on long runs, but use Forerunner for GPS track) but would use an app version of the mobile site if it had a nicer interface.
