Geocaching® for Positive User Reviews
✓ I love geocachingThis app and adventure has taken not only my husband and I to some magnificent places but we’ve involved our whole family. I love geocaching 💕.Version: 9.4.0
✓ Love the new updateLoving the new update. The kids find it much easier to use. Thanks for the great work..Version: 7.0.0
✓ GeocatchingGeocatching has got to be one of my favourite things to go and it actually keeps you fit because you have to go on walks and look for things we’re you’d least expect something to be and you get to go to places you normally wouldn’t go ♥️.Version: 8.43.0
✓ Geocaching is a great ideaAlthough sometimes you find tampered with geocaches, you sort of kind of a because there’s always gonna be someone isn’t there. Please add some more geocaches to the more likely locations, because I found all the ones in my local village also, could you make it a bit easier for users to create their own geocaches because it’s quite complex at the moment. Thank you geocaching team. Great idea. Also keep the updates coming. Thanks..Version: 9.42.0
✓ LoveWorth it.Version: 9.34.0
✓ All I NeedI know there are a lot of other choices, but really, this app is all I need.Version: 9.28.0
✓ Missing vital itemsThis app needs a coordinate converter and a page that shows your Lat and Long location.Version: 8.0.0
✓ Amazing appSo much fun. It brought me to amazing places. Great prices!! Encourage everyone to try! When you go on vacation you can find amazing items and places!! It gets people out of there house and into the forest for a hike and amazing spots, I encourage everyone to do it!! I wish it didn't require wifi or data, but it is so worth it. It takes you places where you wouldn't think of going. It shows you God's wonderful nature!!.Version: 5.6.1
✓ Brilliant appExcellent excuse to explore interesting places worldwide with variable challenges..Version: 5.6.1
✓ GeocachingI didn’t know what geocaching was until August this year and since then I have been getting out of the house more and more exploring the world and finding out how many of the geocache is actually near my house I would never seen them if it wasn’t for this app and when finding it you feel like you simply did something so please join your day.Version: 9.36.0
✓ A great app.So I've been doing this for about a year or two now. I always drag my girlfriend out. It's a nice bonding thing. And a reason to go out. However I have a couple of recommendations for an update. As a now cache hider. Id love to 'like' findees logs. If that makes sense. Either way, I love this app..Version: 6.8.0
✓ Great!Such a handy app, especially when traveling long distance. Haven’t sprung for the paid version but likely will if we keep up with our current hunting pace. Only thing I don’t like is that my partner will have ones show up that cant be accessed on mine, neither of us pay for subscription. Means I can’t mark them as completed on my account :( but! Not a major problem really..Version: 9.11.0
✓ Amazing appNow I found this app through a friend and downloaded it and he took me on a small geocaching trip to find my first geocaches after this I really got into it and am even considering buying premium this is so much fun once you get into it so I’m now await to head out and find more..Version: 8.29.1
✓ I love GeocachingLove geocaching. Totally addicted. Love the social aspect of caching with other geocachers. Really enjoy the new places that caching takes me to. A great way to spend time in the fresh air. Thank you Geocaching and all the cache owners for placing caches for our enjoyment. Am particularly enjoying the adventure lab caches..Version: 8.31.0
✓ Awesome funKids are having a blast with this. Gets you out and about and is a lot of fun..Version: 2.6.1
✓ Easy to useStill getting the hang of the app after using the geocaching app that I paid for a few years ago - would be great if the date of the find (if different from the current date) and trackables could be logged on the same page as the "found" logging page..Version: 4.10
✓ 5 starsGreat app, love this hobby.Version: 5.6.1
✓ SuggestionsThis app is amazing and did use it all the time! But there are a few things I think you should look into. Firstly, there is no way to edit a geocache desciption or add images one it has been created. This is a problem for me because there are certain things I hadn't mapped out about my cache that I really needed to add, and no matter what I did, nothing. Second, the fact that I have to may a 𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑡ℎ𝑙𝑦 fee is terrible. I wouldn't make my consumers pay 𝑎𝑛𝑦𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔 to get access to all the geocaches on a 𝑔𝑒𝑜𝑐𝑎𝑐ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔 app, no less, but if you're gonna make a payment, at least make it a one-time thing. This way more people will want to get the membership- because it's simpler, but also you will get more money this way. Everything is just less complex. The last thing isn't so bad, although sometimes it is a problem for me, not being able to "tag" someone else who helped you with the geocache. I think you should be able to link them as well. So to recap, editing a cache, the subscription payment, and others. Please fix these and this could be a 5-star rating. But other than that, this app is great!.Version: 6.12.0
✓ Love itJust started this adventure and loving it.Version: 9.28.0
✓ Not as horrible as others say, continues to improve.As the title states, this app isn't the worst thing that's ever happened to geocaching. In fact, I'll go as far as to say that the free app USED to be the worst thing that ever happened to geocaching. There was an influx of people who had zero investment in the game, who did more damage than the dreaded "muggles," having zero concern for returning things as found or for not getting muggled themselves. So this app now basically requires paid membership, which is probably a good thing. The app continues to improve and add more features, and I believe this will all end as a win-win for those of us that love the game!.Version: 6.1.0
✓ Hide and seek.If you're not already doing this, you should be :).Version: 3.1.1
✓ A fun adventureGood app as well.Version: 9.30.0
✓ Best adventure game everThis game is so much fun it takes you too places that you probably wouldn’t of gone to before. This game is a must play because there are caches for all abilities. Thanks (planksconstant).Version: 9.25.0
✓ Good App. I like it.I like the new app. It’s had great updates including auto-routing for your car, which is awesome. The app Works great. Found ten caches easily today with it. I'd like to see all caches while searching for one but that's about my only complaint at this point. It's disappointing to see people complain about paying instead of rating the app. The website is not free to maintain and create. Go tour groundspeak headquarters they pay commercial rent and employees. Not cheap. Support the game you love. 35 a year is nothing. Think of how much you pay for cable tv and that doesn't even get you outside..Version: 7.8.0
✓ We just love it!Our favourite weekend and on-the-road activity. Great app, really well made..Version: 4.6
✓ GeoA fabulous app and in these terrible times it really has given my wife and I a purpose to walk safely and explore. Both of us pensioners so it must be easy to understand app well worth the premium and cannot praise it high enough.Version: 8.46.0
✓ LOVE ITI love this app. Also, if you really get into it, get premium, worth it.Version: 9.28.0
✓ Year by Year FiltersI’m well into Geocaching and am really loving the opportunity that this gives to get out and about exercising and visiting some places that I would never had thought to go to. I would love to see a filter that allows the Geocacher to view the year that the cache was placed by the Cache Owner. I am really wanting to find some old caches and having the ability to filter out the search area for these older caches and see how well that they have faired and been maintained over the years. Please bring in a “year hidden filter”....!.Version: 8.34.0
✓ Love it!We love geocaching as a family, and there are so many in our area!.Version: 9.37.0
✓ Missing functionality from web versionI’ve been a geocacher for about 6 years now, but am just now getting *really* into it. It’s a great pasttime, and I’ve made so many memories from the hunts, events, road trips, etc. If this were just a review of geocaching as a whole, it would be an easy 5 stars- however, the app itself could use a bit of work imo. Keep in mind, this is coming from a paying subscriber, so afaik I’m not missing anything. The search functions on the app, for example, are impaired compared to the web version- many attributes, “not found by” other specific cachers, solved vs. unsolved caches, etc. are not filterable on the app as they are on the website. You also can’t see anything statistics-wise on the app beyond your d/t grid and current streak. I could go on, but I’m sure you get the idea- it would be more worthwhile to plug coordinates into a Garmin or something of the sort..Version: 9.10.0
✓ NzkekoGood apps, fun game and interesting places to visit. Apps is great and the details are very nice and precise Thanks.Version: 5.6.1
✓ Handy and essentialThis app is easy to use and an essential for all cachers! I love the Download Offline Data option, so we can still grab those elusive caches, in the more remote areas, when the signal gives out on us. TFT... App! 😊👍🏽.Version: 5.11.0
✓ I’ve been doing this for a whileThe reason why I started geocaching was we did a family road trip from Ohio to Mount Rushmore and the kids were bored when we would stop so I decided to do geocaching to get them moving around and to look for things. When I was in Florida visiting family and friends I decided to go geocaching with the kids again and we found a playground right down the street from my mother-in-law‘s house. They have never been to. some free advice to anybody is thinking about doing this. Keep in mind I can travel rules never travel alone. And use some type of Google Maps or other type of map identifying app to make sure you know where to park the car so you don’t have to walk so far or if the area you’re looking at is under construction. And check on the activity of the cachet you’re going to!!.Version: 9.40.0
✓ Easy to useRunning on my iPad and Samsung s2. Runs well and easy to use. No glitches that I have found..Version: 2.5.2
✓ Fantastic appGreat App, did me well until I bought a gps. Makes geocaching a lot more accessible..Version: 3.9.1
✓ So AwesomeLove it so much. An idea. u should hide all the chaches that u cant on basic members so it wont be so clatered and it will be nice and simple and then you can have them all on premium..Version: 4.8.2
✓ Fun while travelingI’ve been geocaching for about 7years and not only do it at home but I really like doing it while on our family vacations. We travel to some pretty great places China, Belize, Thailand, Cambodia, Alaska,Panama, etc. and today we are in Rarotonga in The Cook Islands. If it wasn't for geocaching some of the most amazing places on our journeys we would hv never otherwise seen. We’ve gotten 2 here so far and expect to do more together here as this dysfunctional family needs bonding times desperately! My point is driven home by the cache we will go get later today... we need to rget on SUP boards and paddle to this uninhabitable island about a half mile away where there is yet another cache and island I would have otherwise never stepped foot on!! Geocaching is the answer... ENJOY!!.Version: 5.13.0
✓ Make my own cacheI’ve only had this app for less than a week and I’m in love with it. The only thing is I wish I could make my own caches, so I can make new hiding spots and expand the geocaching world, without having to pay $50 for premium..Version: 8.16.0
✓ Great but….This is a great app and my father and I love doing geocaches together. The thing is though please make things more accessible for people without premium. Even if you don’t at least lower the price of premium. Overall great app but it cost too much money..Version: 9.35.0
✓ So much fun with the kids and big kidsDownloaded and spent hours finding caches was so much fun.Version: 2.6.1
✓ Caching is great.Great way to get out as a family..Version: 5.6.1
✓ Much better than ever beforeLatest improvements have made navigation even easier. I stuck with the app when it first came out knowing it would be improved and now it has..Version: 7.0.0
✓ Geocaching NewbieAs a beginner to this activity, initially to have fun with my grandchildren, I find I have become slightly addicted!!! As a keen walker Geocaching provides an extra dimension & sense of achievement (if you find one) to walking in the countryside. It has also given my husband & myself added interest when visiting new villages or towns to locating a "stash". I have been amazed at how many there are & to discover it's worldwide. I have still to perfect my use of the app but hopefully with practise I will get there. Must go, got to find my next Geocache!!! 🔍 G. Sparkle.Version: 5.6.1
✓ Seriously flawed!I've been caching for years with 2700 finds, all made with the old paid Geocaching app. After a few months away from the hobby I came back to discover the old app disabled and this app as the replacement. Some things are better on the new app and some are better on the old app. But a few problems with the new app are really annoying me. The first is the maps - The old open cycle maps had red footpaths on a green background and showed contour lines. The new offline maps have yellow footpaths on a grey background which are basically impossible to see. We also lost the contour lines. The other problem is the zoom and direction of the map. When you get close to the cache the map won't let you zoom in for those last few metres – it constantly zooms back out again. And the option to have the map rotate in real time is not persistent so every time you do anything on the map the option is lost and it goes back to North at the top. Basically this makes following the map to the cache a total pain. The option to zoom so that the navigation path fills the screen has also been lost - that was the option I used the most on the old app. Please fix these problems!!!!! ☹️☹️☹️.Version: 5.6.1
✓ Compass problemsI got used to using the new app ever since it came out. I was very satisfied with it until this past February (2019). The compass kind of works. It will point to the correct heading, but it doesn’t align with true north. If, for instance, the cache is directly north, the arrow will point to the “N” on the compass, but the entire compass might be showing that north is actually to the south or some other direction. Very annoying. It’s still possible to find the cache if you know which way north is. You can also watch the distance get smaller and smaller. This isn’t the best way to get the job done. I’m hoping this compass problem can be fixed..Version: 7.9.0
✓ Beau boisé!Encore une fois, nous aimons ce nouveau coin de Blainville! Quelle bonne idée que ces Adventure Lab! Merci pour tout ce travail 😋.Version: 9.10.0
✓ You shouldn’t have to pay for itI think that you shouldn’t have to pay for geocaching. I think that it should be free. i like it enough to pay for it but 40 bucks!.Version: 8.22.0
✓ AmazingPerfect balance for paid and free version. Such a great idea and activity..Version: 9.44.0
✓ A great resource, all you need in one place!I don’t use a GPS, no need when you can do everything in one place. Once you’ve familiarised yourself with the app you’ll find it user-friendly and accurate for locating caches, making lists, logging finds and everything else in between..Version: 8.38.0
✓ Favourite geocachesI went geocaching recently and I found the best geocache (by my standards). I wanted to favourite it but I forgot to. When I realised that, I tried to go back and favourite it and I couldn’t. Please update this so that if you change your mind and forget you can go back and favourite it. Tnx.Version: 5.7
✓ ThxDxcfrr.Version: 9.35.0
✓ I love itI started off Geocaching in 2014 as something to do with my kids, to get them out in nature, and lets face it, treasure hunting is awesome. The App itself is great, and easy to use. My only gripe is the cost of the Premium Upgrade, for what you get, the price should be a lot lower, however, theres plenty of fun to be had with the simple basic account. 5/5 🤙🏻.Version: 7.11.0
✓ Treasure huntingWe are loving it. Sometime it won't load cachings or takes ages which can be annoying but otherwise heaps of fun.Version: 3.9
✓ Loads of Fun!I've never written a review before but I decided I had it do it for Geocaching. Geocaching is one of my favourite hobbies, getting out, going for walks, and finding treasure along the way, what's not to love?! This app is simple and easy to use (a step up from the previous app) and I would highly recommend it to anyone (of all ages), wanting to make their outdoor adventures that little more exciting. :).Version: 4.4.2
✓ Best activity for road tripsGeocaching has taken me to so many places that I would have never known about. I love the mix of detective work, walking in nature and sharing swappables. Such a good roadtrip activity to discover new places, as well as learn more about the history, geology and what makes a place unique..Version: 9.47.0
✓ Great appLove geocaching will be upgrading soon... Well I upgraded and have found so many more cool caches. Keep up the good work..Version: 4.5
✓ Geocaching begins2016: I am very new to all of this. Did my first cache with a friend Monday night and immediately loved it. Got the free app that night and went out on my own hunt Tuesday and very quickly paid the $30 for a years membership once I saw how many there were to find. Been caching every day (3days now) and have had no problem with the app. Can't wait to find some trackables and some more swag. Will update once I've been using for a while. Update: 2019 I have renewed my subscription every year because this is just so much fun. I don’t get to do as many anymore but it’s still worth it for me to have my subscription active when I am in a new place and want to find a quick (or not so quick) cache..Version: 7.5.0
✓ Love it!Geocaching is one of my favourite ways to pass time. Whenever I’m bored, I take my 8 yr old and we go for a drive to find caches in our area. The app gives you hints, and a picture to show the rough area it’s in and the contents too. Usually find them, and leave a little something. Awesome, I would definitely recommend this app..Version: 8.39.0
✓ Pretty goodAlways use this app. However I have the recently discovered Cachly which has more options.Version: 9.12.0
✓ ConfusingI like it but I paid for the premium and now I’m not sure how to do all the geocaches i’m used to the original geocaches, and some of the other geocache i’m not sure how to do. it be cool if you had a tutorial or something for them.Version: 9.34.0
✓ GeocachingI have had this app for a few years now. We started to play when our kids were a lot younger and they loved it too, although they are all grown up now we still go looking with the dogs..Version: 8.67.0
✓ GuffGuff.Version: 8.2.1
✓ I deleted the appI paid $10 for the app a few years ago, it was great to go out with my phone instead of downloading from the computer to the GPS, and planning a whole trip. I could just go out for the day find 2 or 3 I’m not a “hardcore” cacher, and maybe that’s what the business model is trying to do is weed out the weekend cacher... but it just seems greedy, they were already making good money with the premium subscriptions, then they decided to charge the weekend cacher? I had to delete the app because I knew I’d never use it again!.Version: 5.7.3
✓ Adult treasure hunt but child friendly too!Caches are hidden world wide, with some holding little swaps for kids. I am not a kiddie, but I love finding them. Some of them give an interesting fact, or history about the area. More complicated finds require a subscription..Version: 8.20.0
✓ Love caching - app is decentI cache every day and use the app frequently. It’s totally decent and does what I need it to. However, Groundspeak is not open to feedback from premium members like me, even when changes they make are undesirable. I do not even get responses. That does not sit well with me. I’m glad I can cache by phone, but honestly feel they could do better in regards to listening to those that pay their salaries and support the hobby..Version: 7.1.0
✓ Good but could be greatI’ve been geocaching for a number of years, using this app. Generally the app’s done the job. But one little addition / tweak would make it perfect … the function to ignore a particular cache. Sometimes it’s because the cache just isn’t there, abandoned by the cache owner. Other times it’s because it’s a 5* terrain, and I just don’t want to be risking life and limb by, for example, using rope hoists. There are lots of other reasons too. A good app, but could be great with this little addition / tweak!.Version: 9.24.0
✓ GeocacheReally good game, frustrating when can’t find the cache but makes you get out of the house and move.Version: 5.8.8
✓ Informative videos and written instructionsEasy to use and understand.Version: 2.2.4
✓ Love it!Can't recommend this app enough! My 6yr old son and I love it! We're having a lot of fun looking for the caches and it's getting us out of the house when normally we would just hang about at home on our free days..Version: 5.7
✓ Fun and Addicting! A Good Time KillerThis game is fun to do wherever you are! Geocaches are all over the world. If you are out shopping, there could be a geocache in your parking lot. If you are walking around on a trail, there could be a geocache on that trail! It’s so fun even with basic membership and I found over 250 caches before I got geocaching premium! Even 3 while I was a basic member. Now, I have premium and now it’s even more fun! This is definitely something to download and you know what the cool thing is, this isn’t virtual! You can really find treasure outside your house!.Version: 6.5.0
✓ GeocachingGeocaching is so fun you find things you have to log you’re name’s in the geocache but the geocache that you found it on this app press log then if you found it you press found it and if you didn’t find it press DNF and if you want to make a note press write note.I forgot that you sign up on this app.Version: 8.20.0
✓ Geocache reviewGreat to have on Iphone as really handy to get the odd caches without having to load up. Really recommend. Only downside since last update is the pointer points in a different direction to the number countdown so you need to pay attention. If they fix this it's a 5*.Version: 5.6.4
✓ Easy to use app with all the info you needBrilliant.Version: 7.1.0
✓ Great but Needs more workIf you are new to geocaching this app has tutorials to get you through your first few caches and show you the etiquette of the game. I like the marriage between the compass and map, though for some reason the previous app. map shows more accurately I really like being able to drop a line to the cache owner and other cacher's. Thank you for finding a way to turn off the alert when you get close to GZ and add a list view. I have a premium membership and didn't realize how limited this is till I tried to find a cache with my grandsons phone While I see some improvements being made in the app. after using the old version I really don't think I would have stuck with geocaching if I had used this one when I started out. I needed the step from buying the app for the improvements to becoming a premium member and it wouldn't have happened with this app..Version: 5.6.1
✓ GeocachingSo I do agree with previous reviews about how being a basic member you do have your limitations, so that would bring me down to 4.5 stars, but obviously there’s no way for me to do that on a iPhone, so yeah. But I’ve found as the app updates (which is about once every month) it gets better and better. Like, I’m writing this review while the app is updating. Locating things are getting easier, and just scrolling through the places you could find some is fun. All in all, the basic member stuff is fun and still functional..Version: 8.36.0
✓ Looks Like I Will Be Using The Website Like Old TimesI think it is outrageous that anything above a two star or something mildly different from a standard cache is locked behind the premium subscription. I fell out of Geocaching about the time Groundspeak made this call. I already paid into the $10 app way back when. I don’t have the funds nor do I want to be paying for subscriptions. I can go back to using the website and pulling up GPS calls on my phone. And as far as I can tell, I have no idea how to log or submit travel bugs on the app any more. Maybe that’s locked behind a subscription too... Love Geocaching, hate what they have done with it. TFTC... just not the app..Version: 7.9.0
✓ It’s all a pleasant experienceMakes a pleasant experience.Version: 9.39.1
✓ A love for geocaching!I just have a passion for Geocaching, you never know what you’re going to find and get into. Love finding the different trackables to move on. So many unique ones out there. Find lots of different kinds of trails, beautiful places to go visit that didn’t know were there. Up and down hills, into the forest, onto and under bridges, over the water. So many, many places to visit, and interesting people to meet. I love that it’s worldwide. I love telling people about this sport, like my hubby and grand niece. Love the meet and greets, and over niters too. Thanks so much for this wonderful hobby!!.Version: 9.8.0
✓ Taken a lot of getting used toThe old app was great. The new app I didn't like at first but that may well be down to me not liking change. Didn't find the new app as user friendly however I have now used it quite a few times and now getting used to it. Still prefer the old app though..Version: 5.6.1
✓ GeocachingWhat a great introduction to Geocaching! A tops way to get to places you would have missed and not seen!.Version: 3.7
✓ Great way to spend the dayI've been geocaching for many years and even without a phone. This app makes geocaching more accessible and it fun for everyone as anyone can get the app. It's a shame that it does cost for the premium service, but definitely worth it..Version: 4.3.1
✓ NiceIt's a very good app. It's gonna be better with more options as the website has. (Adding photos, finding people, editing profile...).Version: 4.7
✓ Super activité familialeUne activité que petits et grands adore..Version: 9.7.0
✓ A COUPLE CHANGES WOULD BE NICEI use the app on a regular basis and for the most part am pleased with it. But, I would like to see a feature that would allow me to be able to edit comments, etc…Sometimes after I’ve logged my activity I want to make a change. Maybe it’s possible and I just don’t know how to do it. Also, I make a lot of lists. It would be great if I could look at my map and see not only yellow smiley faces and blue frowns, but also be able to tell which of the green ones I’ve already added to a list. As it is I’m jumping back and forth between my map and various lists to see if it’s on a list. Again, maybe there’s a feature for this that I know nothing about..Version: 9.25.0
✓ Good but many down fallsI love this app and I’m 33 yes 33 and it’s good to get about especially in the world are we having June/July but there are many downsides £25 for this app is absolutely ridiculous considering most of the geocaches I’ve gone to find have been muggeled they don’t seem to get replaced I follow them on Instagram and there are many great ones to find still.Version: 6.5.0
✓ The Melnyk’sIt’s a great game to play love it so much easy for when your on a trip..Version: 9.47.0
✓ Geocacher for life!If you’re not sure what geocaching is, just download the app and get started- trust me! This game has literally changed my life - I was a person with depression who slept the daylight hours away almost every day. Now I am up and about, out in the fresh air and excited about it. I have been taken to so many cool places in my local community that I didn’t even know existed. It really gives you a thrill every time you log another find and a sense of purpose and community when you see all the other names in the logbooks. I’m so grateful for Geocaching - I’d say it’s not so much a game as it is a way of life. Do it- you won’t regret it!.Version: 9.33.0
✓ Great funAmazing game that is always taking me to new locations I never would have found otherwise.Version: 8.56.0
✓ GeocachingGeocaching a great way to get out and about and explore your area.Version: 9.11.0
✓ This app keeps getting betterGreat improvements very time, the last release shows they're listening to users, they ironed out a few little annoying things and I would say it's getting pretty close to perfect now..Version: 5.6.1
✓ GeocachingWorks well, can create lists for a big day out, can navigate by road using maps to close to cache...all good 👍.Version: 4.9
✓ WarningThis is so fun you will have a mighty distraction on your hands. What a fantastic use of technology. New places, new knowledge and new challenges!.Version: 7.7.0
✓ GreatThis app is awesome and it keeps the kids fit and healthy it is also a fun way to exercise.Version: 9.35.0
✓ Love it!!! But...I really love geocaching, the app is amazing but I just have a huge problem. When I try to check on the trackables it crashes every time 😫😫😫 can you please fix it? It's really frustrating when I even have a premium account. Thanks!.Version: 4.1
✓ Love geocaching but app could be betterThe app is great when it works but sometimes it crashes or refuses to load caches in the area I've zoomed into..Version: 3.7
✓ Just to Say someone just said your app on free radioBut how’s it even possible who put the things there lol and what’s the app about just wondering I don’t want to get hurt or something lol but how’s the app work just teleports the items there ? I wanna try the app but ? Just wondering how it works.Version: 6.11.0
✓ It's ok to get you started but needs lots of improvementsI've not been geocaching for over 5 years and back then there was no app or I wasn't aware of one. However this app is good to get you started, I understand a lot of people's complaints regarding comparisons to the old app. I personally would like to see a more social media side to it, the ability to look at other peoples profiles, and see where they've been and what they've found. Also on the travel bug items wouldn't it be great if we could see on the map the route they'd taken? Lastly I do find it frustrating that throughout the app there's no links to different sections like when another user quotes a cache location you can't click on that information to take you to that listing *Addendum* The app has updated and is more user friendly however there's still some features I'd like to see like accessing 'trackable' cache info from the phone app..Version: 5.6.1
✓ Some things i wish were differentI feel like the geocache shouldn’t be premium just because of the difficulty rating. I have some near my house that are grey just because of the difficulty. Also for those of you struggling to find the car navigation, if you click on a geocache and then find the car symbol at the top right corner, it will give you the option of maps or google maps, depending on what device you have, you can click on one of them and it will give the directions to you..Version: 9.32.0
✓ FunIt’s fun to find them but you need to be able to see what direction your facing..Version: 9.36.0
✓ Some features only available on websiteWent ahead and got premium because my fiancé and I were enjoying caching and I like the mental challenge of the multi caches and the gadget caches. My one complaint is that I can’t award favorite points in the app. There’s an icon and it looks like you should be able to tap the heart but you can’t. I had to go to the website to award favorite points which was kind of a drag. I think it would be helpful if when a trackable is in a cache it would pop up as an option to log when you Mark the “found it” option. That way I wouldn’t have to search for it when someone else took the time to make sure it was marked as in that cache. Otherwise, pretty good app. Some things could be organized a little better, and I agree about the being zoomed in to load the caches—kinda annoying. Especially if looking for a particular trait. Please consider more challenges and things to check off as accomplishments. I’d love to see an interactive counties map where I try to find one in each county or state. Also, I’d like a search feature for newly published caches that DONT have a FTF (first to find) yet. Consider a Jargon terms section for muggles who just recently started caching! I scratched my head at the TFTF, TFTC, FTF, and especially P&G..Version: 8.35.0
✓ Great app, one main winge of mineAmazing! I love geocaching with my family and friends. It’s so fun to see and find all the new things. Today, we found a travel thing that went all the way from Idaho in U.S.A, to the geocache in Hervey Bay Australia. We were on holiday (we live in Australia, f.y.i), so we’re taking it back to around where we live. We also found one in the bush that hasn’t been found since October 2019!! It was very dirty, though. And, we also found one inside a tree and right on top of an ants nest, I got 1 or 2 ant bites from that! There was another in a gap of a tree hanging from a wire! These were super fun to find! My friend and I have a long distance friendship, so we’re trying to see who can find the most geocaches before we see each other again, and I’m getting ready for victory!! Something I do want to add is maybe a bit more to find without premium! Anyway, I definitely recommend, it’s a blast to go geocaching!.Version: 8.38.0
✓ Awesome!Such a fun way to get everyone out of the house exploring the world we live in! Awesome family bonding! Can’t wait to plant our own one..Version: 7.8.0
✓ Awesome!!!!My 8 year old and I are loving wandering about finding caches locally. This is such good fun. Recommended for solo patents as an easy inexpensive activity - we are finding it a very rewarding do meaningful stuff together activity. Beats play station xbox tv etc hands down!! All Fresh air and sunshine..Version: 2.2.2
✓ UpdateIt definitely needs an update in kincumber because it’s so outdated.Version: 9.4.0
✓ Trackables and SouvenirsThe app isn't as bad as I first thought it was. It does now offer driving directions that link to navigation which is pretty decent. However the biggest thing for me is that I enjoyed viewing my souvenirs and on the last app you could pull them up read about them and view the artwork, with this app you can't. Also with the last app you could track your trackables on the map and see where they have gone and which caches they have been placed in, once again that bothers me. Makes it difficult when I am out Caching and want to place a TB in a cache I have to pull up the website and figure it out from there, if they fix these two issues.....it would be a 5 star app..Version: 5.6.1
✓ GeocachingLove the app I have been geocaching for almost 5 months now and I love it app is amazing. I don’t know if it is possible but do you know how you can save a draft for a log on a cache could you be possible to save a draft for a message. Otherwise the app is fantastic..Version: 9.37.0
✓ Fantastic Family FunHave been geocaching for ten years. It’s a great way to find amazing places near your home! It’s such an exciting activity. Premium membership well worth it. If, like me, you want to cancel go to your phone settings>subscriptions>geocaching TOO EASY!.Version: 8.56.0
✓ Frustrated with the changesI much preferred the previous version of this app and agree with others regarding the zoom when you get close to the cache. I also miss the bing it used to make as you got about 20m away. Please return the bing!.Version: 7.3.0
✓ Not Bad. There was a bug in the late few months of 2020I have this and it is really nice. Late 2020 the app would not open and I had to use the website the whole time but it for some reason would open on my iPad. I’m kind of bored of the green logo and would LOVE to have a logo of the app on the home screen with it being the four colors that are on the geocaching pins. This app has things more sorted out and filtered but I can’t filter by hider, and filter by caches only found by _______. I like to log Travel Bugs in my possession as visited but I can only do that on the website. I have to do it separate or just log the caches on the website all the time to do this..Version: 8.44.0
✓ New AppDownload most of the caches on the Garmin use the phone now and again Brilliant way to get you out and go to places that you would never visit So it's 5 stars from me Best thing ever done takes you to places you wouldn’t think about going to just enjoy the geocaching experience Thanks to all.Version: 9.2.0
✓ AmazingSo much fun very fun to find and make geocaches.Version: 9.24.0
✓ Works well, could use some changesThe app continues to advance and change which is nice, but I do miss the old app that is not supported anymore. Maybe because I was so use using it. Overall the app works well and does what it should, but there are things I would like to see. Biggest right now, I would like the app to work with Apple Watch. Would like an easy place to see all photos without going through comments. I don’t know if it’s the phone or the app, but lately the GPS writhing the app has been off, but when using my separate GPS app, it works just fine. Not sure why it would matter..Version: 6.4.0
✓ CachingI really love caching it has taken my husband and myself to places we would not have otherwise gone and we have seen things that we would have otherwise missed including several historical sites Thanks.Version: 8.17.0
✓ Awesome appThis is so much fun. I love the cryptic clues providing not only a physical activity but a cerebral challenge. If you're into the outdoors (or would like something interesting on your next training run, walk, bike or whatever, get this app and get geocaching..Version: 2.8
✓ Amazingly great fun and fantastic appEvery parent should take their kids Geocaching to get them out in the fresh air exploring new place in a fun way. But not just for the kids, adults too enjoy the outside with a challenge or two of finding the harder caches..Version: 5.7
✓ Good for friends and youThis was very fun for me and my friend because it felt like we were treasure hunters Andrew's also fun finding the prizes and overall just a good experience for your friends and you.Version: 9.23.0
✓ Treasure hunt for all!!!!Excellent - would recommend for kids and big kids! 👍.Version: 2.6.1
✓ A walk made interestingDuring lockdown our local walks became repetitive. Once we were introduced Geocacheing by a friend and lockdown was behind us we now enjoy all the new places it takes us too. Places of interest, beautiful views and lots of history to be discovered. Highly recommend..Version: 8.70.0
✓ GeocachingI find the experience really rewarding as you go to places u would never go to or see through out the world.Version: 7.13.0
✓ 5 out of 5 starsThis app really takes you to amazing locations, lets you get back to nature, gets your hands dirty and it is lots of fun..Version: 5.6.1
✓ SuperbMy wife and I have now been able to see more of a country and specifically of a City largely due to geocaching. The caches are often found away from the beaten track and touristy areas which mean we see more of a particular city, which, in turn is often neglected by the hordes....Version: 8.4.0
✓ I’m obsessed !When introduced to Geocaching roughly a year ago I took a look at the app and found myself a little confused so I dismissed it. Roughly 6 months later it was mentioned again and so I did my research and then downloaded the app again, after finding my first cache (with a packet of beetroot seeds!) I started to enjoy it! Everywhere I went I checked the app and snagged the caches nearby! Now I’m obsessed! I’m keeping fit by walking and collecting the caches as I go! I recommend it to anyone! A fun experience that keeps you fit and gets your brain working trying to work out hints and all! It’s absolutely fantastic! What an enjoyment!.Version: 6.9.0
✓ Great appWonderful app but would like to sort the small caches from the nanos.Version: 9.28.0
✓ Not disappointed any longerUpdated: Aug 2017: I must say this app has improved big time! Below is my previous review from last year which indicated how bad the app was. Not any longer. In fact it is very much better than the old one that we had to pay for. Now I'm not using my hand held GPS because this app has become so much easier to use. I like: ~ how lists work. Much easier than creating a pocket query. ~ the ability to turn off the "Close to cache warning." ~ the ability to rotate maps to the direction I am walking. ~ how the caches show as I move the map to another area. ~ that it now shows those pesky DNF's that I have to return to. Keep up the great work. ~~~~~~ (2 Stars) Need I say more. I too am frustrated. Please support the old app until the new one is as good. This is NOT a good app yet. Full of bugs and poorly laid out. It crashes when using pocket queries, and is jerky when using it. Groundspeak, don't turn your backs on us. Keep the old app available. I'd hate to show a newbie this new app as the only alternative. Groundspeak, I thought you were better than this. Please reconsider..Version: 5.6.1
✓ Happy CacherGreat app, simple to use. Has so far brought hours of entertainment & fresh air.Version: 5.5
✓ Great GeocachingI have been geocaching for 8 years now and it has been a godsend during lockdown. However, it would be helpful for maths idiots like me to have instructions on how to work out the complicated co-ordinates, on the app. Could we have an a separate app for COs so that when we want to hide caches, we can know approximately where other caches are on our phones so we do not hide caches that are too close. Also the app is not good when the internet reception is sporadic..Version: 8.41.0
✓ GoodI need updated ones tried of going to ones that people have moved.Version: 9.41.1
✓ HappyHi haven’t been out much in the last 12months but really enjoy caching and the places it takes you. Hope to get back into it this year 2020..Version: 8.18.0
✓ Good family activityMe and my family love doing things like this we find it very fun most of the time I am good at the finding and my mum is good at navigating.Version: 9.47.0
✓ A game that takes you places.I love geocaching. When ever I’m on the move I check to see if there is a cache nearby. There almost always is. This game has helped me find beautiful hidden spots..Version: 9.23.0
✓ I love geocaching!Me and my cousin wanted something fun to do and to get out and about. we first tried Randonautica, but it wasn’t fun because we never found anything at the locations we went to. then i found a geocaching app! we found our first one, and we instantly loved it! i think it’s a great way for everyone to get outdoors and experience the joy of looking and finding things. tell everyone about it!.Version: 9.37.0
✓ All in all great app, I love geocaching, just a few opinions on the appI used to go geocaching all the time with my family and just recently got back into it. I’ve found 10 caches over the past week or so. The only thing is that premium locks a lot of geocaches and I feel like it should only lock quality of life features like the lists (which it already does). Because I want to find more difficult caches and different types of caches but those are all locked and it’s kind of frustrating. The only thing I’m saying is it shouldn’t lock as many caches. Maybe just open it up a little like you can find all the difficulty types just not all the different kinds..Version: 9.4.0
✓ Where has the trackable count gone?I’m loving geocaching. But am unhappy with one failure of the newest update. You cannot see at first glance anymore if a cache contains trackables. You have to navigate to the trackable page of every cache.. It’s a nuisance. Please bring that feature back..Version: 7.1.0
✓ Brilliant!I’ve been geocaching for not long now and I’m absolutely obsessed! But there are a few bugs that need fixing. Firstly, when I publish a geocache and someone finds it, it won’t let me look on the app of what they have said about it and doesn’t load. Secondly, when I go hunting for them, they do not load at all and it kicks me out of the app. Everything but those is Great!.Version: 9.9.0
✓ I like itI like the app although at times it seems to lack behind in regards to my finds being logged for example the website shows immediately the total I have found but the app always shows one find less, then after about 20 minutes it corrects itself, but apart from that no problems..Version: 5.6.1
✓ Seems to work well, would like to be able edit commentsWe like the app and decided to spring for the premium service. I’ve read complaints about that, but if you want a good app someone has to be putting time and/or money into it, so they have to pay for it somehow. It would be nice if they were all volunteers, but if you compare the price to some other entertainment options (a meal out, a movie or concessions at the movie, etc.) it’s not too bad. My main frustration with the app is that there is no way to edit a posting after you log a cache. Either because of a typo, or I realize I was not clear about something, or thought of something after the fact, I have many times wanted to go back and modify a post. Even if I could add a “Post script” so that the original post could not be modified, that would be fine. I just reread a post from two months ago and realized I was not clear with pronouns and probably raised concerns for the cache owner, and might confuse future people looking for the cache..Version: 9.6.0
✓ Amazing!Upgraded to premium and the app is great. Very useful, lots of fun caches. To all of those moaners saying you need to upgrade to see the grayed out ones- you don’t, they are available on the website! In my opinion Premium is worth it not just for the few premium caches but also for the offline lists and filters. It’s overall a great app and well worth it!.Version: 8.33.0
✓ Excellent once you get used to it.We were really annoyed that our paid for app was discontinued and did not like the new app to begin with. However now we have got used to it - its great. Particularly like the ability to save finds in draft without having to enter text immediately as we did before. They are immediately on the Pc at home as well. Very useful. Caches load as we travel - we don't have to keep refreshing the screen. It's now easier to upload a photo and drop TBs. It's is continually being updated and improved- what's not to like?.Version: 5.6.1
✓ Trackable problem please fixGreat app but you can dip trackable anywhere in the world even if you haven’t really been there causing fake miles.Version: 7.11.0
✓ So much funFeel like real life treasure hunters loving this family activity to get outside and walking around.Version: 5.8
✓ Give it timeWhen the old app was turned off I was furious. I was going to give up caching. My biggest criticism has been corrected, now I am not forced to use metric distances, so they do listen! I didn’t give up just persevered. Now I quite like it the only thing that I am not sure about is using it off line. I never seem to know if I am on line or not and I’ve not got my head round drafts either..Version: 5.7
✓ App keeps improving...First I am a premium member and I have to chuckle at the people who think that $30 per year for a hobby is too expensive! Just think about what we spend on those coffee joints, doughnut joints, etc. etc. I used the old app and the new one concurrently until the old one was phased out. The first iteration of the do you app wasn't that user-friendly. But the "new" app has improved greatly and hopefully will still continue to improve. I love the driving directions as I travel for work and sometimes go across an unfamiliar town to find a cache!.Version: 5.6.1
✓ So much funJust starting off but makes walking more enjoyable :).Version: 2.6.1
✓ Get some exercise while searchingI had just started walking for exercise again when someone showed me the geocaching app. Now I walk twice as far and find it fun and sometimes challenging to find some of these objects. Thanks 😊.Version: 9.5.0
✓ Love the sport, and this app is great!Best app ever! I really don’t mind paying for memberships... we go geocaching with this app whenever we can. We have found over 600 geocaches, which is so many hours of outdoor adventures! It takes us to great places for walks, and bike rides (even near our home) that we never knew were there! We have also hidden over 50 (using the website to submit for review). I much prefer this app over my gps. We used to have the old app, but this one is much better and I can see why they switched. If you are new to geocaching, buying the premium membership is well worth it!.Version: 5.8.2
✓ The best fun everAn enduring addiction that just keeps getting better. The only way it could be better is being able to work offline in those out of range places ..Version: 3.5.1
✓ Super funHaving a blast finding caches! It’s a great excuse to get out and about, finding new places, seeing new sights. Highly recommend!.Version: 8.23.0
✓ AmazingSuch a great app, I’ve been playing and using geocaching for years now, and I have enjoyed every step of the way!!! Definitely recommend downloading. You don’t have to get premium however it is very cheap and worth it.Version: 9.32.0
✓ Cool appI really like the app no bugs and no concerns to be aware of I recommend.Version: 9.42.0
✓ Mediocre unless I am just being a numptyI am a fairly new Premium member, having just got properly interested. I find it irritating when the website keeps redirecting to the app, as some features are not as easy on the app when you are trying to download to lists. It would be nice to be able to see TB journeys and your own stats on the app..Version: 5.6.4
✓ 'To app' or to 'go hands free'Getting use to the app. I am a novice but find that as I introduce muggles to the world of 'geocaching' they can be up and running on this app in a short amount of time//.Version: 5.3
✓ Geocaching is awesomeThis is honestly worth every cent for premium and fun for all ages! Perfect way to break up long road trips.Version: 6.13.0
✓ Great appGreat app! Super good if you travel or take little trips around the world. Has really opened up my mind since I’ve gotten it.Version: 9.43.0
✓ Amazing but massive ProblemI found out the other day that you don’t need to pay for premium to get it. You go into the premium paying method, then cancel it, reload the page, and it says your a premium member??? I bet you everyone is using this method to cheat without paying. I feel sorry for the creators of this so I’m just giving you a heads up, because if I got someone to pay for something and they managed to not pay for it but still to what they wanted, I would be a bit cross. Other than that, amazing app!.Version: 9.8.0
✓ It’s my fave app. Cacheeffect is my cache reviewer. He’s a chad.I been doing it forever now and it is awesome YOU SHOULD TRY IT. For people saying that they did not find anything groundspeak aka the people who run this app don’t place the stuff. It’s the people inside the game. That’s all I have to say. Thanks for countless hours of fun.Version: 9.12.0
✓ GeoCashI kind of wish that you didn’t have to pay monthly to edit and so if I wanted to edit where I would have maybe put it than it would be a lot easier and I wouldn’t have to pay my money. (I feel that it’s too much money anyway) maybe it would have gotten a 5 star rating if there was more recent photos too beaus a lot of things have changed and it’s hard to understand the map that we are walking for. I also think that it is really fun to look for them and find hints and added on to my kids actually get out now during summer so it’s a great app but I give it 4 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.Version: 7.6.0
✓ SuperTrès bonne applications! Fonctionne très bien!.Version: 9.30.0
✓ I'mGreat app, got the family out on our bikes for hrs and you never know where you will end up..Version: 3.6
✓ Great Caching AppThis app has been stuck in a deep rut for a number of years but since the last major update we now have a easy intuitive interface to work with and seems to me to work flawlessly. Top job 😎.Version: 7.3.0
✓ Fun gameAlways fun to be outside J’aime beaucoup le geocaching.Version: 9.14.0
✓ AwesomeFun outdoor activity for the whole family 😀😀😀😀.Version: 8.13.1
✓ Good exercise for myself and the Geo-pups.Just found “the passing of youth” cache today with someone worked about reaching 50. Left a note that I did not start caching until 79 and try and walk to as many as I can to keep fit, off to see what is in Kuwait in a couple of months to visit grandsons who introduced me to caching when they visited from Lithuania a year or so ago. Thanks everyone for the effort involved..Version: 9.19.0
✓ GI love gio caching I used to never go outside but know I'm out side all the time!.Version: 9.24.0
✓ Formerly Free Family FunI loved geocaching, and introducing friends & family to it. Activity itself is great but over the last few years this app went from a free service to a pricey subscription model built on the efforts of volunteers who made geocaches for people to find. Bait and switch to its users over the years. Very disappointed. There are some free options that are harder to get to and less family friendly. Wish we had the app of 10 years ago. Shame on you guys..Version: 8.22.0
✓ Not an improvementGeocaching Classic is a considerably better app than this. I have used this app for several weeks and will now revert to the old app +12 months: it's now a much better app. I like most of the features, particularly the mapping.Version: 5.6.1
✓ Pretty happy with it.I'm pretty happy with the app. My primary lament from the previous version is the loss of being able to post directly to Facebook when I log a cache. I love the integration with the website, especially sharing lists. I can set up lists from the app and then load them directly to my Garmin from the website on my PC. My wife loves being able to flip directly into Waze for navigation to a cache. I'm not one of those people who believe everything in life should magically be free. I can see where my $30 per year goes in app and website development, website and database management and hosting, event planning and execution (such as "Where in the World is Signal" and "Lost Treasure of Mary Hyde")... We do most of our caching from the app on my iPad and actually find both the GPS locations and the satellite views to be very accurate..Version: 5.6.1
✓ Great, makes geocaching Quick and easy. But we want to make caches as well!!Love geocaching, and love that I can now do it from my phone. Easy to quickly open and see if anything is close by for a quick find. The only thing I would love to see is to be able to create a cache in the app..Version: 7.9.0
✓ Geocaching addictive!!!I'm loving it best app ever can't wait to move to premium. Getting me my kids and husband out doing stuff and being active!! I'm totally addicted.Version: 3.5.1
✓ Amazing!Gets you outside and having fun both alone and with friends!!.Version: 5.6.1
✓ Reaching New heights, One step at a time !Kira (Belgian Malinois) and I have been caching for a year now ! She has made more than a dozen finds by her self, I just have to get her into the general area, if there has been a recent cacher she can make the find fairly quick haha ! It’s a lot of Fun watching her work ! The Geocache app has brought us to many places I would not have normally gone, and have learned a lot of history along the way ! I give the app itself an A+ Thank you everyone behind the scenes that actually make the cache app work ! You’ll never know how many memories that have been made possible as we continue on our journey together !.Version: 9.42.0
