So Much Better Than Any other Geocaching app
I love this app. I even enjoyed the latest update, version 6.0 A couple years back, I resisted using Cachly but was forced to learn it after Geosphere was no longer supported. My husband trying to get me to use Cachly but I kept both applications until I could learn to use Cachly. There are so many features that it took me a bit of time to learn to use the new app. I loved that when I asked a question of support they answered immediately. I also like that there are searchable answers online. I also like that they have a Facebook group that posts questions and get answers from the developer, Nik Hubbard, as well as other people assign to help cachers get the most from the app. I thought I was an expert at Cachly but still discover new features every day. This Geocache app is intuitive, stores information when we have a bad signal, has amazing sorting capacity so I can look for Geocaches by favorites, or distance or 100 other things. We use Cachly to plan our trips. We just came back in February from a 10 state geocaching trip and the trip would not have been half as much fun had we not had this app. I wrote a review a year ago when I first started using Cachly. This is my third revision of that review and if I could give it six stars I would.

Paid App Requires A Paid Subscription
Geocaching seems fun and interesting until you realize all the readily accessible means of accessing the hobby require paid subscription. I was hoping this app having a cost out of the gait wouldn’t be like the others but it is unfortunately worse.
The base and free geocaching app gives information on all basic caches with higher difficulty tiers only showing the location unless you pay the subscription. Cachly only gives basic information and the location of a cache. You can request the same information geocaching gives three times every 24 hours. The one benefit is there are some caches which geocaching does not show, though some that geocaching shows are not visible here meaning that slim benefit is essentially nonexistent.
Why in the world would anyone pay for this app if they could get more usage out of a free one?
I’m hoping I can get my money back simply out of principle of not paying a developer for this nonsense.

The Banana App Reviewer,
Best geocaching app by far
Cachly is the best $5 I’ve spent on an app ever. They update the app frequently and always add super awesome features. In my opinion Cachly’s greatest asset is their offline setting. I travel rather frequently and often to places with little or even no cellphone data far all. Cachly allows you to download thousands and thousands of geocaches into your offline list so you can still find geocaches when you don’t have cellphone service. Not only can you download the caches but you can also download all the log data and images so you have that for extra help too. Cachly is a must have for all geocachers. I can’t recommend them enough! Send them some love buy the app and tell your friends to buy it too, I have gotten a number of muggle friends to purchase the app and turned them into AVID cachers. Thanks for this cache... I mean APP! :)
Albano5566,
Poor instructions, hard to use
I’m a newbie, and this thing seems to assume that you’re an expert geocacher. Instructions are poor and very confusing. Plus I paid for it in good faith, and now it turns out that I’m not actually a premium member. Paying for the app gets you the app and 3 searches every 24 hours. If you want more searches, you have to pay a monthly or yearly subscription fee. No one told me that up front! Stinking thieves! The excuse they give is that the limit is a “third party restriction,” but they do not make this restriction clear up front, which is highly misleading. I repeat, stinking thieves! To make matters worse, most of the caches aren’t even there anymore yet they keep them on the map for seemingly forever. So you decide to hunt for a cache on the map, you select it as one of your three free ones, and then you have access to see all the details about the cache that tell you, guess what, the previous eight people all couldn’t find the cache so it’s almost certainly a waste of your time to hunt for it. Now you’re down to just the two free hunts, and there’s a large chance that the same issue will occur with them as well. Save your money. Really. I wish I had. I feel completely cheated.

Everything on my wish list
I resisted Cachly and used the standard app for years and but always wished it had a number of features. Especially when I started hiding more caches I finally took the plunge and started exploring and using Cachly and it has *everything* I’d been missing.
The gc app is great, especially for beginners, but Cachly offers so many useful tools- excellent trail maps, numerous filter options (including a way to filter caches not found by yourself and others- excellent for planning caching trips with friends), pin dropping on specific map locations and quickly linking to driving maps, coordinate conversion, trackable scanning and logging, the ability to make quick and through logs/drafts and include trackables and favorites and quickly add pictures. I could go on and on. It’s fantastic.
And the best part? The dev, Nicholas Hubbard, is extremely active and helpful and will continue to improve upon the app using suggestions and feedback directly from the users on FB. He will also quickly and directly respond to users who are looking for help, have questions, or have bug problems. That makes a huge difference and continues to improve the whole experience.
Great app, highly recommended.

Somehow, it keeps getting better!
Cachly was already the best iOS Geocaching app out there, but it keeps getting better! The 6.0 release brought some great new features, in app travel bug scanning, quick map switching, and state restore which is the best feature a new user won’t ever notice. We all know how iOS frequently shuts down apps to divert memory to other apps when you switch, making you start over when you switch back to that app. Well now Cachly saves where you are in the app so after you cycle through the camera, the Adventures app, and then come back to Cachly, it’s in the state you left it. It may not sound exciting but it is a huge time and frustration saver.
I really don’t know how the app developer has the time to make all these great app enhancements, but I am so very glad he does.

Everything I have Ever Needed in a Geocaching app!
This app has everything the "official" app has, but fortunately a lot more!
I love:
1) the integration of Google, Waze, or iPhone maps to give driving directions to the cache,
2) the responsive and smooth loading maps, over one DOZEN map sets available, including OFfLINE maps for most countries, all US states and Canadian provinces. The new premium maps have good topo and a lot more trails included! #cachlypremiummaps are a great investment of a few extra dollars!
3) a quick view of recent cacher success with green/red and date stamp, FTF indicators and a custom lonely cache feature,
4) and even the ability to load and share and create on Cachly and text to others custom .gpx files.
5) clicks COs linked name then hit hides to see a map of all caches by that owner that are currently active!
6) full cache data can be loaded for offline use.
7) highlighter tool has over 20 colors and each color can be custom named. For example the red highlighter I have titled “Y2K caches” and highlighted all Y2K caches globally. That way if I do a search of an area and one is within map view I can immediately see that it is nearby since it is highlighted!
This is a TOTAL replacement for the "standard" app. I Love it!

Big upgrade from geocaching app
I love this app a lot! It’s a lot more accurate than the free geocaching app. If you’re looking to get into the game more but you don’t have 300 dollars to get a good gps this is definitely the next best thing. Offline maps, waypoints for mulicaches, and being able to log my cache and trackable at the same time is amazing!
I want just one thing.. when you click on a cache that’s on the map and that preview bubble pops up saying the name and all that, can you add the 5 color dots for the last 5 logs so I don’t have to click into the cache to see if someone has found it or if the cache hasn’t been found in a long time. That would be really helpful because sometimes I forget to check get all the way out there and geocache is about to archive that cache.
Ty!

The Best Caching App...By Far!
I’ve been an avid user of Cachly for many years and can say with confidence that this is hands down the best caching experience on the market! I’ve been enjoying this amazing hobby for almost ten years across most of the US and have never had to use anything but my iPhone thanks to this app. At this point the only reason to have the official geocaching app is for the message center.
Besides that, Cachly provides far superior functionality and features. The developer is fantastic in constantly adding to these features and always responds to any inquiries in a timings manner. I have recommended this app to everyone I know in the geocaching community and look forward to what future functionality will be implemented!

All I expected and more,
Great app
After using the app for several years, my opinion remains the same. It is an excellent app, providing many advanced features. I am fortunate to travel abroad and the “translate” capability has been invaluable. In addition, the developers continue to add features that polish the app and make it easier to use.
Thanks ..
Initial review: I've been using the Groundspeak app for many years but it's going away so it was time for a change. This app is so much better than their new offering that the replacement app choice was easy. While navigating to the first cache using Cachly, I found that it integrates seamlessly with my preferred nav app, Waze .. an unexpected bonus. This app has everything I want and more.
