VL App & 8a.nu Unification: Android Beta Version

We've just reached the next milestone in our endeavor to unify 8a.nu and the Vertical-Life App: the open beta version for Android is now released, and we invite you all to test it and kindly ask for your feedback. Click here to become a beta tester and please send your feedback to [email protected].

The beta version synchronizes the VL and 8a.nu logbooks, all ascent data, and the full outdoor content. All logbooks in the app contain all ascents that were/are added via 8a.nu or the VL app. As an 8a user, you will find all your ascents and your profile on the app. All future ascents you add will show up in the logbook in both places. Note that the current 8a.nu does not display the synced logbook yet. Ascents added via the app in the past will show up with the next web release.

If you encounter major issues that limit the use of the app, you can always leave as a beta tester via the Google Play Store and simply install the latest stable version.

Please be aware that not all features are synchronized between the app and the web yet. The unification of your followers, favorites, ranking, challenges, and galleries will come in future releases.

We are also working on a version for iOS, and this will be available soon.

If you want to use the premium features in the app, you can get the first month of any subscription for free by signing up here and using the code BetaTrial.

โ€I stopped focusing on competition bouldering after last yearโ€™s World Cup in Prague, partly because I can already feel it on my body, especially in my shoulders. The modern competition style, with a lot of jumping from one hold to another, is very demanding for the shoulders. Outdoor bouldering isโ€ฆ
