About this app

Geooh GO is the most feature rich geocaching app available today. Beautiful to look at, easy to use.

If you are new to geocaching, please go to https://www.geocaching.com/play to learn about the hobby. Geooh is an approved partner at Groundspeak, owner/creator of geocaching.

******************************************************************************************************************************
NOTE: Geooh GO requires a Premium membership at geocaching.com!

If you are NOT a Premium member, DO NOT DOWNLOAD the app because Geooh will not run otherwise. The official Groundspeak app is better designed for geocachers with a Basic membership.

Geooh has all the features typical of a geocaching app, but it also has features found only on Geooh. In addition to the one-time purchase price, there is an optional subscription for enhanced features. Go to https://geooh-go.app to learn more about the app than what can be described here.

The optional enhanced subscription includes an Android Auto app and a companion Wear OS app. The Android Auto app shows up to 6 nearby geocaches on the car display. The Wear OS companion app includes a complication, a Wear OS tile to show your daily stats, and a map to show selected geocaches.

A core feature of the app can automatically find nearby geocaches while you are driving around. For this feature to work, you must give Android foreground location permission to allow Geooh to use your location while the app is running, but not active. You can use other Android apps while Geooh searches for nearby geocaches! When a nearby geocache is found the app sends an Android notification for each geocache located. You can then bring Geooh to the foreground to download the geocache so you can go find it. The Android Auto app in Geooh also uses the nearby geocaches feature to show them on the car display. Per the privacy policy, all location information is only used locally.

If you a new geocacher, please use the official app from Groundspeak to learn the game. If you are a more serious and advanced geocacher, Geooh GO is the app for you!

Ratings and reviews

I would like to see a confirmation screen before exiting the Geeoh GO in-progress Wherigo cartridge. I'd be several layers deep in the cartridge, needing to back out many times to get back to the top-menu screen. Several times, I'd accidentally hit the Back button once too often. Once you're back at the main menu, the Back button changes to be Exit, so all work was lost. Geeoh should prompt with "Are you sure you want to exit", or some such in order to prevent data loss.

This was my favorite app for geocaching, but just got an email from google play that they are increasing the price for their pro subscription from $0.99/6mo to $3.49/6 months, that's an increase of over 300%, so no, I will not be renewing. Edit: I can't wait for the developer to respond to this review with some catty response about "Increasing costs" on their end.

I bought the app thinking that it would give me access to some helpful tools, but without a paid subscription it doesn't seem to do anything more than the regular geocaching app. It's only slightly easier to use than c:geo and not as easy to use as the regular geocaching app. I wouldn't have bought it if I realized I'd have to pay a separate subscription fee to access the features I wanted.
