Ratings and reviews

Nice concept. I have only done two adventure labs but they were enjoyable. The only ding I have is the app requires you to be online to complete each step of the lab. I don't know that I would want the app to download and retain information forever. if you could download data for short term use while completing the cache and then clear it that would be a big plus.

Adventure lab caches are fun and can take you to some great places where a normal geocache container wouldn't be appropriate. But the app needs improvement. Navigation is terrible. When I plan my geocaching days, I would like to be able to see the stages on a map so I don't accidentally walk by a cache and miss it because I am using the separate app. You shouldn't have to do the stages in order. I don't feel the app is ready for prime time.

(+) I was able to complete my first Adventure Lab series. It was fun. (-) I made a stupid mistake answering one of the questions and the app shut down, saying it was having trouble connecting. I had to return another day to complete the series because closing and reopening the app that day did nothing. I'm also not thrilled with the way the navigation works and I used compass on the regular geocaching app to head off in the right direction.
