What's New in GCBuddy

13.4

November 5, 2026

• New: the server now shows an easy-to-remember address (e.g. http://iPhone.local/) next to the IP address. Tap an address to copy it, or share it straight to your PC or Mac with AirDrop. • Redesigned "Edit using a browser" screen. • The app now properly asks for local network access, which is needed to edit a geocache from your PC or Mac.

True paperless multi caching

Without this app i wouldn’t do multi anymore 😉

Opencaching.pl

opencaching.pl does not work

Pretty good

By far the best app I’ve found for doing multis. Also great for recording coordinates when setting up new caches. The biggest letdown is the inability to filter found/unfound caches.

Super Support, super App

Wir nutzen die App schon seit Jahren gerne und häufig. Sie erleichtert nicht nur das Lösen von Multis, sondern ist eine exzellente Datenbank. Ein Fehler in einer Indexdatei hat wohl dazu geführt, dass alle (!) gespeicherten Caches weg waren. Dumm, wer da nichts gespeichert hat. So wie wir. Der Schreck war groß, aber der Support, den wir hier nutzten grandios! In einem regen Austausch per Mail, konnte der Fehler gefunden werden und… die über Jahre gesammelten Daten sind allesamt wieder da. Puhhh! Hier hat sich der Entwickler wirklich Zeit genommen und viel Unterstützung geleistet. Wir können die App und den Support bei Problemen nur empfehlen.

Super App mit Weiterentwicklung

Ich benutze GCBuddy jetzt schon richtig lange und freue mich immer wieder, dass ich die Multirechnerei nicht auf dem Papier machen muss.

Ganz toll finde ich einfach, dass die App nach all den Jahren immer noch gepflegt und weiterentwickelt wird. Danke!
