Horrible experience using app. The app continued trying to charge me after I had ended membership. I also had back up payment options blocked but they still somehow charged my wife's credit card. do not use this app if you value your money and value not having it stolen
No free option? Stick that where the sun don't shine. Deleted!
Subscriptions for geocaching? No thank you. I'd happily pay a one-time fee but I'm not going to sign up for a subscription, especially at the price asked.

The use of AI on their website is absolutely unacceptable for me. In addition to this, unfortunately, in my area there are a bunch of low effort caches placed along side roads. It's the same every time, a Gatorade bottle or similar with a log inside. It makes finding fun or unique caches almost impossible as it clogs up the map. If I had the option to block this person and their caches, that would be great. I don't need to see 6231 of the same cache over and over again.

Been over a year using this app. The map never shows any routes just straight line to cache, yet my partners iphone shows walking. routes. On cache logs have to scroll individually and select logs to view posted pictures yet on iphone there is an option to view posted pictures at the top of the log option. I've paid for premium & feel let down as android doesn't have half as many options as iphone rarely updates compared to iphone this app is iphone biased over android

scam. everything on the app is locked behind paywall. there are websites out there with plenty of coordinates to copy and paste into your GPS. just use those and a notebook, dont give these traffic cones your money.

says "in app purchases" but you are forced to pay when setting up the app. THIS IS FORCED PAY! NOT FREE!!!

Update 2026: This was a great app, but I can't afford a sub app. This is ridiculous, then there is premium features too! Was a great app with lots of detail for the local geocacher, but not anymore with the sub.

much worse than other open source alternative, no ads and so greedy for not allowing to offline, so you need pen/paper or screenshots.

The whole website and app seems to be down because it won't let me log a new geocoin I purchased. The enter button doesn't work and the next button doesn't click. Although there is a prompt to pay a subscription now, and unless you now have to pay a subscription in order to log any new geocoins in your possession anymore, which I've never paid, and I never will pay. 👎

"Sign in with Google" led me to a never ending loading screen. my geocaching account is through my Google account. if I can't sign in, there's no point to this app.
