Ms geocacher

Doesn't work, can't search ethercaches or do anything. The feedback button gets a failure notice, disappointed.

Ethercache is back online

Apologies for the downtime!

So far a waste of time

It loaded fine on my 4s phone but I tapped the + and I am still waiting after 15 minutes for the puple pin to drop.
I can't "Report a Problem" because Permusoft's web site is 'under construction'
Plus it's got google ads running on the bottom of the screen. :(

Don't waste your time with this!

Hmm...

Any chance that you're ever going to update this so that it actually works? If you've abandoned the project, at least remove it from the App Store.

Great!!!

Great for Geocaching!!!
