About this app

The official app to find any of the more than three million geocaches hidden worldwide. Geocaches are created and shared by people like you. Join this community of creative explorers by finding your first cache today! A geocache could hide in a location you walk by every day. It could even lead you to a special spot in your neighborhood you never knew existed. Feed your curiosity and find geocaches both near and far, big or small, easy or complex! The choice is yours, what are you waiting for?

With geocaching, you can discover the best sights on vacation, or get your kids outside on a treasure hunt. You can find geocaches easily while waiting for the bus, or challenge your body or mind with geocaches that lead you up a tree or have a puzzle to solve.

Some geocachers hide tiny magnetic caches in plain sight, others add camouflage to containers with trinkets inside. Some have created elaborate installations that make you feel like you’re a spy on a mission.

Ratings and reviews

The app works. Sometimes I wish it had more features. Maybe a helpful step by step section to guide you through hiding your own caches and logging the coordinates. Also wish there was a feature that allowed you to enter coordinates and the map would guide you to that pin point. I struggle with that on some caches as well as finding the point I hid a cache. I have to use Google maps sometimes which is annoying. As far as Geocaching goes, it is great! I found it gets me out of the house more!!!

Downloaded lists have become nearly useless, as the map view now insists on accessing the server. If I'm in a place without data coverage, the map hangs while waiting for the server to respond. Out of annoyance, I have let the attempt go overnight, and the map was still hung the next morning. I've cleared the app's cache and re-downloaded the list, with same result. I've been hoping to find this fixed soon but the problem has persisted for a month or more.

Given the upgrades to phones in the past few years, using an app like this is actually easier than using a traditional GPS. This app does virtually everything it tries to do, and does them well. My only suggestion (which may already be here and I'm too inept to catch) is that you can set additional waypoints as priority over the main coordinates, so I don't have to reload them every time I back out of a cache page and back in. Otherwise, love this app!

What's new

Players now have an upper limit of 1000 for the total number of log drafts they can store on their device. Additionally, players in navigation mode will see a blue circle around their location indicating the region of GPS accuracy.
