### 1/5 — Booo 👎

*2025-09-10, version 202509.13*

There was a time when one could “buy” an older issue for $0.99. Then before an extended trip I was interested in buying an issue to read, but this was during an extended period of server issues. I was excited to see this app got a long-overdue update but now all the issues require a $20 subscription. I understand that printed magazines are struggling but I think this is the wrong direction. It would be nice if this app offered both a $20 subscription as well as a way for new readers to check out the magazine like one would at a newsstand. I wish the developer success but I think it is a bit much to require a full subscription to access anything here. It’s been a good run, but time to clear this app from my screen. Thanks!

### 1/5 — Invalid Server Response

*2018-08-13, version 34*

This app does not work. 'Invalid server response' is all that shows. I would also recommend lower prices for digital issues--as prices seem as high as print.? You might even make more money if someone could access all the back catalog with a premium pass.

### 1/5 — Help!

*2017-10-10, version 34*

I'd love to read this as I am a geocache addict! But, every time I open it it has the loading bars and says "invalid server response" I have tried deleting the app and re downloading it. I've tried restarting my phone and opening it. I've tried wifi on and off. Nothing will load it!

### 1/5 — Non functioning app

*2015-11-30, version 33*

The latest app is non responsive.

### 4/5 — Needs update

*2014-10-05*

previously purchased and new purchases will not download since upgrade to iOS 8. Would love to see an update to address this as I really like this app.

**Developer response:** Pretty sure this issue was addressed before the app broke a second time a couple years later. Even so, apologies.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2014-08-04, version v30*

Love reading all about my geocaching world on my iPad. App runs nice a smooth. Thanks. Reyga

### 5/5 — Best Geocaching Magazine there is!

*2013-10-21, version v28*

I love reading this magazine and all the articles within it. This truly makes geocaching a community. Loved the other apps in the past but having the subscriptions done like this is the icing on the cache! Thank you so much and see you on the trails. Bamaphotographer
