July 29, 2021 — The following was released by NOAA Fisheries:
This notice applies to all vessel operators currently using the iOS FOL app to report eVTR’s. If you have not already done so please update your current version of FOL for iOS to the newly released version 3.1.12. This version provides more information in the alerts when an error occurs during the submission process.
What to Do:
- Upon opening the app please note the app version located at the bottom of the screen. If you’re running an older version (anything other than version 3.1.12), there is often a green bar running across the page saying ”Update Available” that you can click to download the current version.
- If you’re running an older version and the update bar is not visible, go to the Apple App Store on your device and search for “NOAA Fish Online” and click “Open”. This will update your device to the current version.
Warning: When updating the app there is no need to delete or uninstall the older version before proceeding. Deleting the app will remove all submitted and unsubmitted trips from your device. Deleted unsubmitted trips cannot be recovered. Submitted trips will always reside safely in the GARFO database and are easily accessible and are available for download.
