Cachly 6.0 — Full Feature List
After many many months of development, planning and testing, Cachly 6.0 is finally nearing release. Here are all of the features you will see in our upcoming version:
Trackable Scanner
The trackable scanner will allow scanning of all types of trackables and provide the following options when the trackable is scanned:
- View scanned trackable
- Create log
- Save Discover Log
You will also have the option of choosing an image to crop and scan to find a trackable code if needed. iOS 13 required.
State Restoration
In previous versions of Cachly, leaving the app would sometimes allow iOS to quit Cachly in the background and reset the app back to the default state. This would result in the loss of the users place within the app’s navigation. This often happened when a user switched to the iOS Camera app which requires a large amount of system memory.
