Leave a Review Cachly
By far the best Geocaching App for iOS
I have been using this app for a while now since Geosphere stopped updating their app. The features far outweigh the cost of this app. The best part of this app is that the developers listen to our needs and include requests into new releases where possible. The community is strong and support each other with technical issues. The developer always responds to issues that the community can’t solve. Great work!Show lessMarksman69
The best, just got better, honest
We’ve been caching for few years and really appreciate the time and effort that the developer has gone into making this defacto geocaching app. Cachly’s 3 strongest points are (1) translate facility (great for when caching in a different country where you don’t speak the language and with minimum data usage), (2) the different mapping style are great and (3) Cachly raises in the UK we use both Miles and Kilometres, feet & metres.
Great app and we use it on both the iPhones and iPads.
ThanksShow lessRatz_42
Perfect!
I’ve been using Cachly almost exclusively for several years. It works brilliantly, is fairly intuitive to use, and the developer is very proactive in maintaining and adding improvements to the app. He is also very responsive to questions and comments. I would recommend Cachly to anyone.Antonia in the UK

Thanks!Great app and support
I was a bit intimidated by this app in the beginning. I kept using it because I liked the format better than the official app. I slowly started to learn some of its features. Then I discovered they have a user Facebook group. The developer is very interactive and all of the members are incredibly helpful and supportive. I’ve been using this app exclusively for about 2 years now, and I don’t even touch the official app except for messaging. Thank you Cachly team for your amazing support and the low cost is amazing! I cannot wait for v5!!! 😁Show lessG Rotorhead
So
Love this app so much. When I find myself in an area with some time to spare I can open it up and check for any nearby caches. Tap one and read description, hint, logs then tap Navigate To Cache and off I go. I can even log it straight away from app or create a draft to upload later. I also love navigating over a satellite view of the terrain. Makes it so easy and the GPS is as accurate as my old Garmin.Show lessmykaat
Seems to work fine
I have been a premium geocacher for a very long time, but this is my first venture into caching with a smartphone. It has taken quite a bit of trial and error to get comfortable with this app. I have not found the user forums to be very helpful. Cachly will never replace my old-fashioned handheld gps unit, especially when caching in remote areas with a poor cell signal. But it is good when I just want to find one or two caches in an area. GPS burns too much battery life on the phone to use this for a full day of geocaching. Though this is supposed to be a paid app, I haven’t figured out where to pay for it. That basic information would be useful since I do support apps that are reasonably well designed.Show lessMiss Thistlebottom
Great App!
100 times better than the official app! Joshua the geocaching vlogger is the reason for my switch to this app. I thought I was perfectly content using a free app, until I finally gave in and paid the measly five dollars. My writing would be five stars if it wasn’t for the fact the app stops uploading geocaches after you’ve uploaded 1000 geocaches in a day. As a truck driver I spend my downtime scouring the maps looking for trucker friendly hides. Went through my thousands of loads in a short time last night, and now I can’t use the application to find any new caches until this evening. Other than that, thank you for a wonderful application!Show lessOleNissanRidah
Big upgrade from geocaching app
I love this app a lot! It’s a lot more accurate than the free geocaching app. If you’re looking to get into the game more but you don’t have 300 dollars to get a good gps this is definitely the next best thing. Offline maps, waypoints for mulicaches, and being able to log my cache and trackable at the same time is amazing!
I want just one thing.. when you click on a cache that’s on the map and that preview bubble pops up saying the name and all that, can you add the 5 color dots for the last 5 logs so I don’t have to click into the cache to see if someone has found it or if the cache hasn’t been found in a long time. That would be really helpful because sometimes I forget to check get all the way out there and geocache is about to archive that cache.

Poor instructions, hard to use
I’m a newbie, and this thing seems to assume that you’re an expert geocacher. Instructions are poor and very confusing. Plus I paid for it in good faith, and now it turns out that I’m not actually a premium member. Paying for the app gets you the app and 3 searches every 24 hours. If you want more searches, you have to pay a monthly or yearly subscription fee. No one told me that up front! Stinking thieves! The excuse they give is that the limit is a “third party restriction,” but they do not make this restriction clear up front, which is highly misleading. I repeat, stinking thieves! To make matters worse, most of the caches aren’t even there anymore yet they keep them on the map for seemingly forever. So you decide to hunt for a cache on the map, you select it as one of your three free ones, and then you have access to see all the details about the cache that tell you, guess what, the previous eight people all couldn’t find the cache so it’s almost certainly a waste of your time to hunt for it. Now you’re down to just the two free hunts, and there’s a large chance that the same issue will occur with them as well. Save your money. Really. I wish I had. I feel completely cheated.Show lessAlbano5566
Better than the official app
I haven't been geocaching for very long but I've been doing it with a mix of my eTrex 20 and the official app. I'm a premium user so I had access to the trail maps in the Geocache app but the maps in this are better.
It's also laid out far better I believe and is clearer - for example, I ended up making a note on a multicache using the official app, not realising it was sent public! This app matches the website in terms of labelling where needed so no mistakes this time! Overall, very happy with it so far and worth the cash.Show lessDrezha
