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. ### 2/5 — Was a great app. *2019-06-14, version 4.11* Right now this app no longer works fully. You can only download to it from pocket queries. It will not do anything live. You can not log finds, update caches,see cache pages,or update list I have. It was working great and would be the only app I used but until it works again I can not give it a good rating ### 3/5 — 2 Bugs in 4.11 34 *2019-04-22, version 4.11* Using iOS 12.2 iPhone with Premium Geocaching membership. 1) Map filter difficulty and terrain +/- buttons are not rendered. Clicking on the blank area where the should be adjusts the filter levels. 2) Logging a cache results in a message that it cannot log a duplicate FoundId. No log is performed. Caches in question have not been logged by me before. Restarting app and logging out/in from geocaching.com don’t help. ### 2/5 — NOT FOR BEGINNERS *2017-03-08, version 4.8* I'm relatively new to cacheing. I'm a pretty smart person, bit this app is seriously confusing! ### 2/5 — Meh... *2016-07-09, version 4.8* It works, but is poor quality and inefficient. They require money to access certain features that other apps don't. Given the low quality I prefer to use other apps that work much easier and give more features for free. ### 2/5 — Very limited *2015-12-30, version 4.8* You only get to look and search for 3 caches in 24 hours with their basic free version vs others that are unlimited practically. Absolutely not worth it and a waste of time to download. ### 1/5 — WORST APP EVER!👎👎👎👎👎👎 *2015-07-16, version 4.5* When my kid looked for treasure she said mom this app is stupid it's really bad so than she said get me a new app so can you guys make a good app that works and costs no money we're done with the app.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭....................................................................................... ### 1/5 — Can't login *2015-06-08, version 4.5* The first step to getting into this app is logging in. I tried and I get to; file not found. I was really excited about this app but it doesn't work. Worst app ever. Don't get it. ### 2/5 — Not bad for a dictator app *2015-06-04, version 4.5* Despite some reasonably good features, I don't like apps that take choice out of my hands on MY devices. Geobucket hijacks email links with GC codes, opening in place of my previous choice of the official GC app. Given the choice, there are likely times when I might prefer Geobucket, but I'll never know since I had to delete it to restore my GC app functionality with email links. ### 1/5 — Bad app *2015-04-20, version 4.5* It didn't even show up on my home screen so I can't even get on it or delete it. ### 4/5 — Good *2015-03-01, version 4.5* This app does what is reported. Enjoy being able to quickly look at the apps around me while traveling. ### 4/5 — Great app. *2014-12-12, version 4.5* Works well for iPad. iPhone app is maybe a little small but does the job. ### 1/5 — impossible GUI *2014-08-21, version 4.5* avoid this app. says it can park your car - or remove it. why, this is a geo app! ### 1/5 — Hogs battery with background app refresh. *2014-07-09, version 4.5* Not so responsive and hogs battery with background app refresh. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — . *2025-07-24, version 5.6* §\:&;)•— ### 1/5 — Crashy app ☹️ *2020-03-24, version 4.11* Used to work fine, now crashes a lot. Tried deleting and reinstalling, but to no avail. I am sad ☹️ ### 1/5 — App no longer works *2020-01-09, version 4.11* 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 ### 1/5 — App no longer works. *2019-06-15, version 4.11* Whilst this app opens, it no longer can download cache data from geocaching.com. So it’s pretty useless. Don't download this app. ### 1/5 — Useless *2017-05-14, version 4.8* Useless. Caches randomly move. Very frustrating. Don't bother. ### 1/5 — No caches *2017-01-21, version 4.8* None! ### 1/5 — Dislike *2016-10-24, version 4.8* It asks me to set my home base and then when I click on "Go" it does nothing. Until I get this step set I can't even use the app. Useless! ### 1/5 — Bad *2016-05-07, version 4.8* SO CONFUSING!! how do you us it ### 1/5 — RIP OFF *2016-01-03, version 4.8* Total rip off!!! Don't waste time!!! This should not be allowed to be sold !!! Rip Off - would rate if a zero ### 1/5 — Poor *2015-08-23, version 4.8* Another terrible update. Map movement is slow or unresponsive. Side buttons no longer work ! Why is this not tested before release. ?? Will revert back to old version again ! Sort it out ! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Our right hand until recently. *2020-10-25, version 5.4* 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. ### 5/5 — Fun everywhere I go *2019-05-19, version 4.11* I’ve used this in North &South America, Asia & the Middle East to find caches. Most of the complaints from years ago are rectified. Try it, you’ll like it ! ### 5/5 — Great user friendly app *2018-11-08, version 4.11* An awesome app that works very well on the iPad...always look forward to up date and improvements ..thanks team geo bucket ### 5/5 — Geo bucket *2017-09-04, version 4.8* I use this for Geocaching all the time. The only problem I have had lately is it does not X out the caches that have been archived. It did so in the past. Unless I go into the geocaching site I'm looking for something that is not longer there. My brother will say he doesn't see it on his Garmin so I check and sure enough it is archived. ### 5/5 — Great little App *2017-03-24, version 4.8* Have used this app for Geocaching for over two years now. It's a great little app and can be used offline with mapping. Pretty easy to use even for beginners. ### 5/5 — Excellent for Caching! *2016-01-16, version 4.8* I have been using this app for several years and love it, especially the ability to preload my waypoint and cache searches. I am a premium member, so I have never ran into the 'restrictions' from Groundspeak on limits. Solid product, gets me tight to the gz with only legit dnf's. ### 5/5 — Brilliant app *2014-06-12, version 4.5* I love it, only thing missing for me would be the ability to search for a place name. Thanks ### 5/5 — Best Geocaching App *2014-01-17, version 4.3* If you're a serious geocacher, this is a must have app. Far easier to use with tons more features than any other app. Once the kinks get worked out of the experimental Wifi GPS feature, this will be the "go to" app for use with iPods and non cellular iPads. Nice update! ### 5/5 — Geo bucket *2013-09-26, version 4.1* Love it! Great maps. Easy to navigate.i use it to check statistics, track travel bugs and finds. ### 5/5 — Geo bucket *2013-08-31, version 4.1* I use this every time I geo-cache. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
