J’ai réussi à faire la plupart des trucs que je voulais faire, mais ça m’a pris du temps à comprendre comment l’utilisé. ### 4/5 — Great but, *2012-05-20, version 2.1.2* Great app but, element 85 is labeled as Beryllium, it should be Astatine. The symbol is correct, the name isn't. ### 1/5 — Not very good *2012-04-09, version 2.0.2* Needs an update ### 4/5 — Comprehensive *2012-03-28, version 2.0.2* Lots to go at here. If you're solving puzzles at home or in the field this is a good app. Poking around there is lots to explore and may give you hints. There are a few of this type of app out there but it's all here. ### 1/5 — Problem *2011-12-15, version 2.0* I have used this app before and found it very useful. Not working anymore after the update !!!! May be compatible with OS 5? ### 1/5 — Intrusive ads on a paid product. *2011-12-10, version 2.0* App was slightly useful, but the latest update forces the deal breaker of iAds sneaking over the settings button. ### 1/5 — Update broke it *2011-12-10, version 2.0* I upgraded and now when I open the app the screen goes black, nothing happens and then the app shuts down. I uninstalled and reinstalled and it does the same thing. ### 3/5 — Good tools, poor presentation *2011-07-03, version 1.0.1* There are so many spelling errors in this app it drives me crazy to use it. CIPHERS not chiffers and TEASpoons for starters.... I like the collection of tools but it needs a bit of polish! ### 3/5 — Please fix. *2011-07-01, version 1.0.1* This app crashes every time I to open it... Can you please fix it? ### 1/5 — This app stinks!!!! *2011-06-13, version 1.0* When I try to punch in coordinates it changes some numbers!!! I can't punch in any correct coordinates!!!! I wouldn't get this app again unless the glitch is fixed. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Nice update *2017-11-01, version 3.0.0* Been a user for years, nice to see this get updated. ### 1/5 — Useless *2017-08-06, version 2.2.3* Can't read the numbers. ### 1/5 — Used to be great *2017-05-28, version 2.2.3* I used this all the time but lately it hasn't worked at all. Nothing in the code section works at all. Such a shame. Sent them an email waiting on a response. ### 1/5 — Don't bother *2017-02-15, version 2.2.3* It deserves a zero because it does not work. ### 1/5 — Don't get it *2016-06-13, version 2.2.3* This app doesn't even work. ### 1/5 — Don't buy *2015-10-22, version 2.2.3* Doesn't work ### 1/5 — Bad app *2014-05-16, version 2.2.1* Does not calculate coordinate conversions correctly. Poorly built for the in app purchases, be warned. ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing *2014-04-19, version 2.2.1* This app keeps crashing every time I input coordinates. ### 1/5 — Good idea but has one major downside *2013-03-20, version 2.1.4* I'm sorry to have to write this but I have had nothing but trouble with this used it on my iPhone and each time after about 5 min it shuts the iPhone down and causes it to think its battery is flat and won't start up even if the battery is over 90% . It takes several attempts to get it working again and ten minutes of thinking if I should give in and go home not much use if your are in the middle of nowhere geocaching for the day nearly had to stop and go home a couple of times. This really needs looking in to. Like I said good idea and very useful just needs this sorting out ### 1/5 — Ehhhhhhh *2012-06-04, version 2.1.2* Not happy that you have to pay for the actual use of the app. The free version just gives you the ability to view things an punch the coordinates in. I can not be navigated to the coordinates. Unless that is just a weird glitch with mine. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Useful *2024-08-18* GCTools is a very helpful app that makes puzzle solving on a mobile device much easier. ### 5/5 — Awesome Tool *2017-11-11, version 3.0.1* What’s with a a “1”?? I find this App an incredible tool for getting values and doing useful calculations. Been using it for years. ### 5/5 — Awesome app eh bro *2013-07-30* So easy to use, and great to follow. A must for all caches, plus great for all kinds of Math and Science. ### 5/5 — Great Geocaching App *2013-04-25, version 2.1.4* We use Geosphere on every geocache outing. No more binders full of printouts. Although we still hunt with our DeLorme GPSr, Geosphere makes it quick and easy to reference our database offline and pop on line to check to see what's new. Great app for our purposes! ### 5/5 — Good app *2012-05-29, version 2.1.2* Very useful ### 5/5 — Good tool *2012-02-19, version 2.0.2* I have had need for several functions within this app. Very handy to have this tool in your pocket when needing info quickly and easily while in the field caching. I don't mind paying for the ease and convenience. ### 5/5 — Awesome app! *2011-06-02, version 1.0* This the all-in-one tool for puzzle caching. Great job! ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2011-05-30, version 1.0* A really useful set of tools for geocaching. Downloaded it after I was caught out yesterday with a rot13 code, will be using it from now on. Genuinely helpful utility. ### 4/5 — Very useful and works well for me *2021-07-07, version 3.4.5* Nice app with lots of features that are useful. ### 4/5 — Tool *2013-07-16, version 2.1.4* Looks good with it had a spot u could leave a note to the person that hide the cache if its missing. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
