Adventure Lab® for Negative User Reviews

Get wazeI love labs however my only complaint is that google and Apple Maps often don’t take you the right way. Once you get a waze tie in I will give you 5.Version: 1.3.2

Very buggy!Not a very nice app to use. Needs a lot of work to iron out the bugs and get it working smoothly and intuitively..Version: 1.1.13

ImprovementsThe app is getting better as months go, especially now that new labs are being notified and identified by a special mark. Next step, allowing Premium members to use OpenStreet maps rather than Plans because many trails are not displayed..Version: 1.2.21

Don’t like the upgradeThis app works well for lab caches, however the upgrade is very disappointing - everything is green and difficult to read... Such a shame as was very clear previously.Version: 1.2.21

Needs offline capabilityThe app is off to a good start, working well whenever strong 4G signal is available. What would make the app, and more importantly the adventures much better, would be offline use.... lee737.Version: 1.2.21

Please add trailsI use the Geocaching app, and one of the best features is the abut to use “trails” maps. Please add “trails” to this app..Version: 1.3.8

Easier than the where I go appThis app is. Way easier than the where I go app. It was easy to use and everything. The only down fall I had with the app is when you go to the next location it would not update that I am going to it and had to get out of the app and go back in it to make it realize it needs to update..Version: 1.2.13

Not happy:(Not a fan! It was an hour drive to my first lab adventure...never completed it. The first two of five points went perfectly well. But then I wasn’t able to access the question/answer when I arrived at the other sites. Maps took me to each but when I arrived, it indicated I was a mile or more away yet. The question/answer wouldn’t open cuz it needed me to be closer...even though I was there! I grumbled all the way on my hour drive home. Grrr!.Version: 1.2.13

Not my favouriteAnnoying at times..Version: 1.6.0

BoringAdventure Lab is not really a game. It’s more like a series of questions you have to answer that happen to give you credit for a geocache find. Most of the time you just drive around and read words off signs. I would never use this app to introduce someone to geocaching. I hope they add some kind of functionality that actually makes this interactive or have game elements, but its been several years now and they haven’t done anything with the platform..Version: 1.3.42

A very bad Wherigo replacementGroundspeak has such a great system with Wherigo but instead of using and improving that system they rather create a bad online-only experience. The app does not even retain the state properly..Version: 1.2.23

Yellow Springs: Hidden GemWhat a great little town. I am teaching my Dad about geocaching and he is enjoying it. He isn’t very mobile so I park where he can watch me search if needed and then take pictures to show him. We enjoyed this cache but it was a bit challenging when trying to enter the answers. 1. The Legend of HA HA Pizza - I tried to enter the business name but it kept saying incorrect answers . I began to think that maybe the original business had closed but was persistent. The first name of the business on the sign ends in “ ‘s “ but I had to enter it as “ es “ in the app and then it worked! 2. Meditation - This hint showed a picture of a mural that the mural with the answer was supposed to be next to. Unfortunately, the mural that was given as a hint is now gone but again with persistence and help from a person who works nearby we found the mural with the fairies and was able to answer the question. I tried to enter the numeric number but it wanted it spelled out. 3. The Epic Book Shop - We easily found the mural but it appears that the Book Shop is now closed and now may be a vegan eatery? To answer you need to spell out the number alphabetically and then good to go. 4. A Mother’s Love - Love this mural and the answer with the next door business name was not an issue. Thanks for showing us these little gems of the town. We enjoyed it very much..Version: 1.3.20

Overall nice but still has some technical issuesIt works great…..if you have 4G connection. There appears to be no way to download offline for later use. If the adventure is in a spotty cellular connection area this is a serious disadvantage.Version: 1.3.3

Version 1.2.3 Crashes iOS 12.4.1When I launch version 1.2.3 I just get the splash screen for a few moments then it disappears. If I check to see what apps are running it is there but if I switch to it the same thing happens. Tried deleting and reinstalling but no luck. IOS 12.4.1 iPhone 8 Plus..Version: 1.2.3

Constantly have to uninstall and reinstallHaving to uninstall and reinstall between adventures and during adventures ensured a lot of people did not complete the labs at a recent mega I was at..Version: 1.1.7

Infuriating at timesAs the only option to do lab caches these days, had no choice but to deal with this app. At its best, the graphics were good (much nicer than the Wherigo app.) But had lots of difficulties on an iPhone X. Sometimes the app wouldn’t start (just showing a blank orange screen) and had to re-install the app several times. Once it is working, several annoying issues. 1) when you are at a location (blue dot and orange dot are on top of each other), I could not click on orange dot. 2) after correctly answering a lab cache question, a pop up asks if you want to review the journal-this is a wasted question since you have no other option. I have zero interest in reviewing the journal and rather it default to the map to avoid needless clicks. 3) I tend to turn off location services unless absolutely necessary. When I started the app the next day, it assumes I am at coords N 0 W 0 off the coast of Africa and the list is way too long to find the series of interest. Instead, the app should remember where I was last at or at least give me list of the series that are in-progress or completed..Version: 1.1.8

GlitchyThis has become problematic by not updating distance this not allowing questions to be answered unless app deleted and reinstalled repeatedly.Version: 1.1.7

Fault in your last updateThe “search this area “ when was my lecture yields nothing. Have to go in “more” selection and scroll down. It only tells he which are uncompleted and not the location. I have iPhone that is up to date. Other than that, I love this app since it came out..Version: 1.3.21

CrashingStill crashing on splash screen with v 1.2.5. iPhone X with iOS 12.4.1. Works on my kid’s iPhone 6s with iOS 12.4.1 though..Version: 1.2.5

Needs improvementEnjoy the adventures but the app is very very battery hungry..Version: 1.2.26

Close but no cigarI would really like to be able to re visit the information that is presented before answering each question. And a map or a compass when navigating to a lab would be nice, especially when the point is not walking distance..Version: 1.2.3

Keeps CrashingAdventure Lab is the only app on the market to access these cache types. App keeps crashing and it goes to the load screen and exits. If I delete it for a few days and re-download, it will fix. The next time I go to open it, it crashes again. Can’t wait for the bug to be fixed..Version: 1.2.11

Can’t Sign UpJust downloaded the app and I can’t use any of the 3 different email addresses or 2 Geocaching names that my wife and I use, because they are in use with Ground Speak. Considering that the closest Lab Cache is over 20 miles away and they are so far and few between, we just don’t see the value of obtaining (and maintaining) a new email address and creating yet another seeker name for each of us in order to try Lab Caches out. There must be some way that we can use our seeker names and email addresses that are already in use with Geocaching, so we don’t have to re-create the wheel or change our identities after having been Geocachers since 2007..Version: 1.3.31
