Our new app is aliiive!! ⚡🧟

May 6, 2022

Summary:

We have a new app! And it’s way better than the old one—meaning it actually loads! This new app is currently in beta, but you can install it now and reserve your unique @membername!
If you had KRNLs or Mementos in the old app, you can retrieve them in the new app after you sign up. Meanwhile, Mementos are still degrading, so hurry! Instructions below! 👇
This summer, we’re hosting a slew of Gilmore-themed events with more cast & crew and an auction of physical collectibles from the series. Of course, you’ll need your KRNLs for all of it.

🎉 The new app 🎉

We’ve promised its arrival for a while, but we can finally say that it’s here. We’ve retired our old web-based app—the one we began our journey on last summer—and we’ve graduated to a full-fledged app for both iPhone and Android. We’d love you to join us there. ❤️📲

If you created an account on our former app, we have good news if you did any of the following:

Harvested KRNLs
Collected or crafted Mementos
Filled out a nickname

You can migrate your old account, and all of your accumulated KRNLs will make their way over to the new app and any Mementos you collected this year.

We know the old app was a challenge. By the end of its life, it was barely usable. Many folks lost Mementos because they simply couldn’t log in to restore them regularly. But there is some consolation. Earlier this year, we implemented a feature in which Mementos that fell below a specific density were placed in a public auction. This replaced our previous method where members could simply snatch up crumbling Mementos if they got to them first—a very flawed system at an early stage of development, so please forgive us. Our new auction method is so much better. It sends the majority of the winning bid to the member who lost the Memento. And there have been some pretty high bids. You might be surprised by how many KRNLs are waiting in your old account. 🌽🌽🌽

Additionally, we’re giving a 500 KRNL “thank you” bonus to all members who migrate their accounts soon. It might come in handy this summer because we’ll be hosting lots of events with Gilmore guests you won’t want to miss. I’ll also be hosting a special auction on June 25th and 26th with a slew of signed Gilmore Girls collectibles, including a script from my own personal collection signed by a bunch of the cast. More to come on all of that soon.

Bottom line, there will be lots of exciting stuff coming to Remarkist this year, including plenty of premium events… and the only tender will be KRNLs. So what are you waiting for? Join us! It’s really easy. Even if you didn’t participate in the old app, you can still install our new one and start earning KRNLs today. Come help us build Remarkist into an epic fandom convention in your pocket.

🎉☕🍁📚🧟📺🦸📽️🧝👽🎸💃🕺🎉

Here’s how to install the new app.

For iPhone users

Go to the app store and install Apple TestFlight, or tap this link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/testflight/id899247664
This is basically an App Store for apps in development.
Once you’ve installed TestFlight, come back here and tap this link: https://testflight.apple.com/join/j0SZEkBg
Tap ACCEPT to add the app to your TestFlight. Then tap the GET button like you usually do to download apps. Find the app on your home screen and open it.
Tap the link at the bottom of the log-in screen to create a new account. Don’t try to log in with your information from the old app. It won’t work.

Migrating your KRNLs, Mementos, and the date you joined:

Go to the old app at https://old.remarkist.com
Tap anywhere on the screen to bring up the sign-in form. Sign in with the email address you used to access your old account. We’ll email you a pin number to log in.
If you previously harvested any KRNLs, collected or created any Mementos, or gave yourself a nickname in the old app, you’ll see a message with your previous Member ID. Tap it to copy it to your clipboard.
Go back to the new Remarkist app (log in if you aren’t already) and tap the profile tab on the lower right. Then tap the settings gear ⚙️ in the upper right of your profile screen.
Inside your settings, tap the “Link Old App Account” button and double-tap to paste the Member ID you copied from the old app. Then tap “Link Account.” You’ll be logged out after the linking process is complete. Log back in to see all of your stuff!

And that’s it! You’re in!

For Android users

Google requires us to safelist all Android users for our closed beta. But that process can be pretty quick:

Fill out this Google Form letting us know the email address linked to your Google Play App Store account: https://forms.gle/4EBoj3fMSPsNgQQx7
It needs to be the email address that connects your phone to Google Play. You should double-check your device before you fill out this form because sending us any other email address won’t let you in.
The safelisting process can take about a day or two, and until then, you won’t be able to access the link. However, if you are a member of our Discord community, you can simply send me a message there (@Unboiled) to let me know you’ve filled out the form. I can get you safelisted that day—often in minutes.
Once you’ve been safelisted, you can head to this link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.remarkist.remarkist_android
If the link isn’t active, you haven’t been safelisted yet. Hang tight. You will be.
Install the app like you would any from the Google Play App Store. Then find it on your home screen and open it.
Tap the link at the bottom of the log-in screen to create a new account. Don’t try to log in with your information from the old app. It won’t work.
