Doesn’t see my premium status

Can’t access premium caches or my pocket queries. This makes the app pretty useless. To make matters worse, I accidentally paid for no ads, even as I was planning to delete the app. Lesson learned. I guess I’ll keep it; maybe it’ll start working at some point.

Our right hand until recently.

We have used this all over the world to locate caches and it has been excellent since 2014. However recently we have had problems and had to reinstall the app. This maybe due to the age of my iPad but now I have adverts with the map. Still good compared to anything else we have tried.

Crashy app ☹️

Used to work fine, now crashes a lot. Tried deleting and reinstalling, but to no avail. I am sad ☹️

App no longer works

The app will open then asks for sign in. That’s where it ends. It had been like this for months. Hopefully the developer will fix this soon, I have had this app for years and used to love it

FAQ

What does Geo Bucket do?

Geo Bucket is a geocaching application that allows you to store geocaches and maps on your device for offline use. This means you can go geocaching without worrying about roaming charges or needing an internet connection once the data is downloaded.

How do I get geocache descriptions into the app?

There are multiple ways to get cache descriptions. You can use the 'Live' button to populate your map, download via pocket queries using the 'PQ' button or drag and drop from iTunes, download individual caches from the Groundspeak website, or open pocket query zip files directly from your mail application.

Is Geo Bucket free to use?

The app itself can be used with a free Groundspeak Geocache account, allowing a certain number of full and lite cache descriptions per day. However, premium Groundspeak accounts offer higher download limits and access to all cache types. The app also has in-app purchases and ads.

Can I use Geo Bucket without an internet connection?

Yes, once you have downloaded the geocache descriptions and maps to your device, you can use Geo Bucket to go caching without an internet connection. This is a key feature that helps users avoid roaming charges.

What kind of information can I see about a cache?

Depending on how you download the cache descriptions, you can access detailed information such as difficulty, terrain rating, last logged comments, and hints for the cache. Pocket queries and GXP files provide more comprehensive data than basic LOC files.
