Reviews of GCBuddy

Pretty good

By far the best app I’ve found for doing multis. Also great for recording coordinates when setting up new caches. The biggest letdown is the inability to filter found/unfound caches.

Apple watch

Please add

Brilliant

A very useful app which works perfectly. Makes multi caches so much easier. Can't recommend it highly enough.
