Weskanden,
The app Does what it says it will do
While I agree with Doris45, that operating the app under a basic membership has its limitations, the app still does what it says it will do. The features available with a premium membership are because those people pay for the service. Groundspeak / Geocaching is no different than any other service that has a free basic and a paying premium membership system. The bottom line is it does what it says it will do.
That being said, I am giving it 4 stars (I would give it 4.5 or even 4.75 if I could, just not a full 5) because I still find little glitches and some limitations that annoy me (i.e. only being able to see /load caches if zoomed in under a certain level / limit on number of caches visible at one time). Where I am, caches are spread out and I would rather see a wide view rather than needing to scroll over and then load a new area. But given the option of the app on a phone or a GPS that I have to upload and its other limitations, I choose the app on a smart phone any day (where I still have cell service).

Fun activity; questionable ethics
I started geocaching almost 10 years ago - hubby and I loved all aspects of it enough to fork over the $10 for the full app (pricey back then). But, then, the app stopped working because groundspeak required more money from users. This seemed unfair, as half of the community were happily volunteering time and supplies to create the caches in the first place. Then, the subscription model of $5/month! To access data that is uploaded by others on caches that are maintained by others! And, that the majority of users only access a few times per year, and usually as a fun and leisurely activity with kids or friends! I spend less than half that for hardcore business and productivity apps that I use DAILY, like several times a day! Sadly, I left geocaching for several years because I was so turned off by this. I just came back as several people have asked me about it and I find that there still have been no major developments to justify this cost. Just basic design tweaks here and there. This is so disappointing, as geocaching is a fantastic activity that once brought people from all over the world together and relied on the volunteer efforts of placers and maintainers. It still has those aspects but is definitely tainted by greed somewhere in the mix. 😢
Nicheblon,
Suggestions
This 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!

RGEarley,
Seems to work well, would like to be able edit comments
We 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.

Missing functionality from web version
I’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.
Dorris45,
I’ll stick with the website, thank you
I first optimistically downloaded this app around a year ago. Finally! A quick, easy way to geocache without having to first figure out my route, add geocaches to my Garmin eTrek GPS by hand, and gather up a backpack full of supplies and a group of people for a long geocaching hike! However, I missed the part of the description where basic members (like me) could only see those few geocaches with a difficulty of 1.5 stars or less. I was severely disappointed. Not only was I unable to see any of the geocaches in my area, I couldn’t even see the caches I had placed! It took about 5 minutes for me to decide to return to the website permanently. I give this app 2 stars because it at least has some potential as a new, easy version of the geocaching I know and love, but in its current state, it is virtually unusable for those unwilling to pay a Premium subscription. No matter how many features you add, how simple and intuitive you make the geocaching process, and how detailed you make the maps, this is a geocaching app, and a geocaching app without the geocaches is pointless.
Free star!,
Some features only available on website
Went 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.

roblarkins,
Love the sport. The app... not so much
Let’s be honest, the only thing the app developers have to do is make a functional, intuitive app that stores and interacts with users’ data. Since the the app authors don’t regularly create any content, there’s no justification for recurring charges that a one-time charge wouldn’t cover. While the interface works well enough, the app is a serious battery killer. This alone makes the experience a bit miserable. I can go from 100% charge to absolutely drained in about an hour. This absolutely MUST be fixed before I’d even consider paying anything further. $6/mo or $30/yr just isn’t reasonable for an app that’s used only now and then. That kind of pricing demands a considerable amount more content and functionality than what we’re getting. But geocaching doesn’t need anything more than what we already had so there’s no need for such a relatively high subscription price. Please go back to a one-time fee or you’re going to lose a good percentage of the community.
control_freek,
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.
Meat Vendor,
Greedy Little Buggers
They should have “grandfathered” people who originally purchased the app into the premium service because now it’s completely useless without paying a monthly fee. There’s virtually no justification for the cost because the developer isn’t creating any of the caches, they’re just a glorified data server at best… I can’t even see the caches i’ve placed in the past due to the difficulty threshold they initiated. These guys took a community-driven experience and completely alienated the people who made it great to begin with. I was hoping to share this experience with my son now that he’s old enough but there’s no way i’m going to give them more money, especially after the lack of transparency during the transition.
I definitely do not recommend this app because spending $6 a month for something you’ll use a few times during that period is not worth it, especially when the developer is providing NONE of the content you’re accessing.
