Find out som really interesting information. Great to see places you might not normally visit. ### 4/5 — A nice walk around town *2026-06-24, version 1.66.0* My kin are from Sandusky so I have had many opportunities to see many of the Underground Railroad locations and read markers when I visit. Today I walked 2 hours from moms place on Lakeshore Dr. through their childhood neighborhoods and visited all locations of 1 and 2. So many beautiful homes and locations and some private homes. There is an issue, though. Several of the locations are missing the signage to help with the questions and I had to guess. There were black stands where there once was (or will be) info plaques but all those are empty. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-06-13, version 1.65.0* Fun cool and enjoyable all these topics are covered in this app this app is great for people who go outside or want to start going outside more 🔥🔥 ### 5/5 — Fantastic! *2026-05-23, version 1.65.0* Wonderful way to explore a place. ### 2/5 — Keyboard won’t open *2026-04-05, version 1.62.0* Would love to give five stars, but my iPhone 15 keyboard does not pop up after you click on Answer, the only way to get the keyboard to pop back up is to reopen the whole app every single time you want complete a stage. Super frustrating and totally inconvenient. ### 5/5 — Amazing AdLabs *2026-02-02, version 1.58.0* I love doing them. They are so easy. You learn a lot about a place by doing them. ### 1/5 — Can’t Login, Can’t Create New Account *2026-01-25, version 1.58.0* Updated the app and haven’t been able to login, reset password, or sign up for a new account. No matter what username I put in it says username’s already in use. Doesn’t recognize my email to reset password. ### 2/5 — Could be great *2026-01-11, version 1.57.0* So much of the Adventure Lab experience depends on the community creating and putting effort into the adventures. Unfortunately you will often find people putting out adventures with no real purpose of taking you to the location you need to be to complete the adventure. The very first one I ever did took me all around my town and had me looking at things I never thought to look at before. Signs I never noticed, details in statues, etc. However I have noticed that the more that people make new adventures the more soulless the adventures become. Often times taking you out on a trail for the sake of doing it without actually having a reason to be standing there. I love community driven content but unfortunately it feels like without more moderation of quality there isn’t a reason to do these. I’m also not a fan of my adventure lab “finds” being counted towards my actual geocache finds. I would be happier if it was its own separate stat counter. P.S. the GEOregon map art experience is the main cause for this negative review. That map art is the culmination of all my gripes with the app from previous labs brought into one awful experience of just wanting to get the labs done and over with. ### 5/5 — Idealne na podróże *2025-12-30, version 1.56.0* Ta apka jest bardzo dobra ### 3/5 — gut, aber Luft nach oben! *2025-11-09* Dass man mittlerweil auch die Punkte anderer ALC auf der Karte mit angezeigt bekommt ist ein echter Meilenstein. Beim Wechseln zwischen Apps (insbesondere zur Kamera und zurück) nervt die App aber leider immer noch mit einem kompletten Neustart. Man muss also jedes Mal den zuletzt aktiven ALC wieder neu laden, „Fortsetzen“ und sich den Punkt suchen den man spielen will. Das zerrt mächtig am Spielspaß, und natürlich auch am mobilen Datenvolumen, was ja manchmal auch Thema sein kann. Wenn diese Problem noch behoben werden könnte wären es auf jeden Fall mindestens 4 Sterne! ## Frequently asked questions about Adventure Lab® ### What is Adventure Lab?
