Awesomeness

The best of the best times! HistoricalGourmet & WVDoxies!

Vom ersten Tag an

Nutze ich diese App. Ich bin schnell von GPS-Gerät auf App umgestiegen. Und sie wurde immer besser. Dass es nach großen Updates mal Schwierigkeiten gibt, finde ich eig. normal. Probleme werden auch zügig behoben. Mittlerweile hat die App echt coole Features. Was ich mir noch wünschen würde, wäre die App auch nutzen zu können, wenn ich das Handy quer, am Fahrradhalter habe.
Vielen Dank für eure Arbeit!

Absolutely love the app

Why does the compass point to the wrong direction??

This is generally a good app and recent improvements are welcome but for the last couple months I have had intermittent snags with the compass. The arrow looks to be pointing in the wrong direction and if you do follow it ( out of idle curiosity) the distance increases! Very annoying.

Unexpectedly Fun

I saw videos of people doing this and thought it was staged and tried it out for funsies. My very first one was at a park and was under a fake hollowed rock. Never expected it to be there. Haven’t played in a couple years but now I’m paranoid that everything is a geocache, that every construction worker is actually someone looking for a cache but trying to look inconspicuous. Fun game and community but I think there is a parallel between people who hide caches and serial killers who hide corpses
