Great time treasure hunt

I absolutely love geocache. It’s a great way to explore in new places, and find some cute trinkets.

Account failure

Sadly I tried two different email addresses and was notified that both were not available. Go figure. Oh well.
Updating this review to indicate that I tried to reset both email account names and was told neither was a valid account so something fishy is blocking me.

Very fun but two problems

This app is wonderful but they should show your username as well as password in the account so that you know your password and it is easier to do make more geocaches and as well make a translator so that you can understand the hints in different languages

Best geocaching app 🤩

10/10 would recommend. Even if u don’t pay for premium you still get access to some things.
The map is a bit delayed when using the directions and i wish we could access more geocaches without having to pay. But other wise this app is amazing and I found my first geocache. It was in a place that we walked by multiple times. It was at the fair in between somewhere and has been there since 2017 never knew it was there! But yeah if u wanna do geocaching I would totally recommend this app
