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. ### 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. ### 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. ### 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! ### 4/5 — Nice hunt *2025-09-14, version 1.53.0* The lab is nice however I like a lil bit more history- thanks for the effort and time. ### 3/5 — Verbesserungsvorschläge *2025-08-12* Ich weiß nicht, wie es anderen Nutzer:innen geht, aber mir sind folgende Verbesserungsvorschläge aufgefallen: 1. App-Wechsel: Wenn man die App kurz verlässt (z. B. um etwas nachzuschauen) und danach zurückkehrt, wäre es sehr hilfreich, wenn der vorherige Stand erhalten bliebe – also genau die Ansicht, in der man sich zuletzt befand, ohne dass man alles neu öffnen oder suchen muss. 2. Lab-Wechsel: Beim Wechsel von einem Lab zum nächsten – etwa, weil sich eine andere Station in der Nähe befindet – wäre es angenehm, wenn die Kartenansicht nicht automatisch zurückgesetzt würde. Momentan muss man jedes Mal erneut hineinzoomen, um sich zu orientieren. 3. Standortanzeige bei vielen Labs: Befindet man sich zufällig an einem Ort mit sehr vielen Labs, verliert man schnell den Überblick – insbesondere, weil der eigene Standort kaum sichtbar ist. Hier wäre es hilfreich, wenn die App entweder automatisch näher heranzoomt oder eine deutlichere Markierung für die eigene Position anzeigt. Das wäre besonders für Ortsfremde sehr praktisch. 4. Spätere Bewertung von Caches: Wenn man nicht direkt eine Bewertung für einen Cache abgeben kann oder möchte, wäre es wünschenswert, diese unbewerteten Labs in einem separaten Bereich wiederzufinden, um sie später bequem nachholen zu können. ⸻ Vielen Dank für die Arbeit, die Sie in die App stecken und damit unser gemeinsames Hobby möglich machen! **Developer response:** We are sorry to hear that you are experiencing this issue.

There only used to be rare popups saying about labs in my area now im getting multiple time a day notifications to check for new labs in my area. Sometimes these notifications are only minutes apart. Quite spammy now. Sure I could turn notifications off which I might but it never used to be this bad ### 5/5 — Do this! *2025-04-09, version 1.45.0* We have had the most fun exploring with Adventure Lab! ### 2/5 — Very little in the area *2025-03-28, version 1.44.0* Downloaded and was presented with very little in my area to find considering we live in a town with a rich heritage. There more historical landmarks marked on the Pokemon Go App than this one. ### 5/5 — Close but no cigar *2025-03-23, version 1.43.0* I would really like to be able to re visit the information that is presented before answering each question. And a map or a compass when navigating to a lab would be nice, especially when the point is not walking distance. ### 5/5 — Bare fun *2025-03-15, version 1.43.0* Free treasure hunts who can complain! ### 4/5 — serata caching *2025-02-09, version 1.42.0* piacevole conclusione di giornata con questa serie. grazie. e grazie a Szélkiáltó e Maci 😍🦆🧸 ### 5/5 — My favorite app. *2025-01-16, version 1.41.1* After over 14 years of geocaching with over 31000 finds I finally found an adventure application I can wrap my head around. I especially appreciate those adventures that have puzzles incorporated into the answers. Keep up the good work Groundspeak, you never fail to amaze me... ### 5/5 — Coromandel *2025-01-07, version 1.41.1* Great way to see the town ### 5/5 — User friendly *2025-01-05, version 1.41.1* Easy to use even for a technology challenged old lady! ### 5/5 — Adventure time! *2024-12-30, version 1.41.1* Love the adventures and the app is easy to use. No scrambling under , over and up things and avoiding muggles when completing Labs. TftAdventures! ### 4/5 — Issue *2024-12-08, version 1.40.0* The app doesn’t work since 7 Dec, can’t log in although geocaching works. Please help ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — slechte software voor tablets *2025-10-19, version 1.54.0* Jammer dat er nog steeds geen mogelijkheid is om Adventure Lab full screen op de iPad te gebruiken is. Steeds zit men vast aan de gsm schermgrootte. Vandaar maar één ster omdat dit voor mij een handicap is, een reden om geen labcaches te doen. :-( ### 1/5 — Useless Offline *2024-05-19, version 1.30.0* This app doesn’t work offline. If you lose a cellular data connection you’re hooped. ### 1/5 — Non buona *2024-05-14, version 1.29.0* è meglio geocash ### 1/5 — Stupid App *2024-04-01, version 1.27.0* This stupid app interrupts my music when opening or switching apps. No, I will not reach out. If you’re a human responding, you can pass the feedback along or this review stays. ### 1/5 — No Usernames Left *2024-01-28, version 1.23.0* There’s literally no usernames left to use so I can’t make an account and without a account I can’t use the search feature. ### 1/5 — N’arrete pas de planter depuis la maj *2023-05-04* On ouvre l appli Mais on peut pas saisir les bonnes reponses … Alors qu on a bien du réseau **Developer response:** We are sorry to hear that you are experiencing this issue.

It’s more like a series of questions you have to answer that happen to give you credit for a geocache find. Most of the time you just drive around and read words off signs. I would never use this app to introduce someone to geocaching. I hope they add some kind of functionality that actually makes this interactive or have game elements, but its been several years now and they haven’t done anything with the platform. ### 1/5 — El juego bien, la app… *2022-07-22, version 1.3.34* El gps y los mapas dejan mucho q desear, cuesta mucho orientarse, la flecha de dirección marca hacia donde le parece, los mapas tienen muy poca información ### 1/5 — Zacina sie *2022-07-05, version 1.3.33* Słabo. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun and fitness *2026-08-02, version 1.68.0* Great way to have fun and get out walking. Find out som really interesting information. Great to see places you might not normally visit. ### 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. ### 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. ### 5/5 — Idealne na podróże *2025-12-30, version 1.56.0* Ta apka jest bardzo dobra ### 5/5 — Aa *2025-10-19, version 1.54.0* Cool ### 5/5 — Sympa *2025-08-27* Très sympa en complément du Géocaching ### 5/5 — Geocachen *2025-08-19, version 1.51.0* Toffe aansluiting bij Geocaching ### 5/5 — Step count *2025-07-31, version 1.50.0* Enjoyable way to increase your step count. ### 5/5 — Geocacher, next step *2025-05-18, version 1.46.0* Questions and answers, games, like I spy; educational; History and more subject that I can think of. Fun 🤩 and yes geocaching points too. 😀🐸😀🐸 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
