The BCTC APP

 What it does

• Log your hours in a couple of taps. Same official log, same thank-you email — and now you can attach photos of the work.

• See your hours. Your year-to-date total, the committee's total, and your recent entries.

• Report a problem from the trail. Snap photos, GPS attaches itself, and the right stewards are notified.

• Events. See what's coming up, RSVP so leads get a headcount, add it to your calendar with one tap.

• Roster. Tap any member to call, text, or save them to your contacts.

• Trails map with current steward names, saved on your phone.

• Who's away. Heading out of town? Mark yourself away so nobody calls you on the beach.

• It works offline. Half our trails are dead zones. Anything you submit waits and sends itself when you're back in signal.

Getting set up — about a minute

1. Open app.bctrails.info on your phone, tablet, or computer.

2. Enter the email address that's on the committee roster. A 6-digit code arrives by email — good for 30 minutes. Check spam the first time.

3. Save it like an app, so it opens already signed in from then on:

• IPHONE & IPAD Tap Share, then Add to Home Screen

• ANDROID Tap the ⋮ menu, then Add to Home screen

• MAC In Safari's File menu, choose Add to Dock

• WINDOWS Click the install icon at the right end of the address bar

Don't mix up the icons. The new app is our bear on a light green background. If you already have a white icon on your home screen, that's the old shortcut to the log form — it still works, but the bear on the light green background does everything.

Stuck? Call or text Liz at 770-778-2369 and she'll walk you through it.
