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. ### 3/5 — Premium *2026-08-23, version 10.17.0* Stop wanting premium ### 4/5 — Friend support options would be better *2026-08-19, version 10.17.0* Would love to see the developers allow us to see the “finds” that have been completed by friends to make the community aspect of the app richer ### 4/5 — Mick *2026-08-16, version 10.17.0* Popular cache and geocaching ### 4/5 — Please add Apple CarPlay compatibility! *2026-08-16, version 10.17.0* Enjoying using the app, but really wish it had Apple CarPlay compatibility! Please! ### 2/5 — Why? *2026-08-08, version 10.16.0* I like it but all catches around where I live are over the 1.5 rating or whatever and I don’t want to pay for premium😢 why do you have to charge??? ### 5/5 — Let us delete conversations and block people easier *2026-08-08, version 10.16.0* I love this app, I use to geocache when I was really little now I can do it on my own as an adult. Although I do wish the feature to block and delete conversations was a lot easier. I hope you can get that put in. ### 4/5 — Very fun, and love how scouts worked with them *2026-08-07, version 10.16.0* Well the title is all I can say, great price for Pruimim and worth it,. I just wish that it was linked to ways, maps ect. ### 5/5 — Sends me home *2026-08-07, version 10.16.0* ZGMen ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-08-05, version 10.16.0* 🩷🩷🩷🩷🤍🤍🤍🤍💙💙💙💙 ### 5/5 — Fun super good *2026-08-04, version 10.16.0* This app has kept me in shape and helped me through some rough times and I absolutely love it. I do it with my grandma and my mom and my dad and my cousin and my brother I just love it so much and I have devoted so much time to it thank you. ### 5/5 — Fun and adventurous *2026-08-01, version 10.16.0* Thank you so much for getting me outside and finding all these unique caches ### 5/5 — Awesome app! *2026-08-01, version 10.16.0* This is lots of fun if you don’t have lots of things to do. Go around for a while and find a bunch of these things. It’s so much fun. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Premium this premium that COME PAY US ALL! *2026-08-30, version 10.18.0* Idea: make the app a paid app. Paid app= no subscriptions. $9.99 It is two thousand two hundred twenty six, Anno Domini, and you idiots are still shoving subscriptions down our throats “wanna look for a level two cache? TOO BAD! MONEY NOW! ALL OF IT” hey, here’s an idea. Don’t make the app free. We don’t need more subscriptions for petty things you lock behind a paywall. you just want more profits, so you lock menial things behind paywalls for no reason other than more money and your excuse of “buh we need money for maintenance” is old and tiring. ### 1/5 — Bro *2026-08-26, version 10.18.0* U never get anything good in geocaches ### 1/5 — Horrible. Completely fake *2026-08-22, version 10.17.0* Either I am the most stupid, absolutely ridiculously low iq person on the entirety of planet earth, or this game is completely fake and none of the containers exist. It’s just a hoax to get you to buy the subscription. And if it is real, why are all of the caches micro?! That makes them infinitely impossible to find! If you’re not afraid of bugs, go ahead I hope you figure it out. You won’t. And if you have found one of these, I would love you to show me. Thanks, and please don’t spend your money on this. also it’s boring ngl ### 1/5 — Snotty owners *2026-08-17, version 10.17.0* Some aren’t but the few that are even move their caches without posting on their virtual log and silly spots including GARDEN bushes ### 1/5 — bad *2026-08-03, version 10.16.0* möst cash ï triiyd to find was not thair and þe hints SUCK. ### 1/5 — Vandalism everywhere *2026-08-02, version 10.16.0* Rubbish app terrible care towards the caches not rewarding because you walk to somewhere and if the purpose of your walk was to find one and it’s been vandalized which is the case most of the time then it’s disappointing and a huge waste of time ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2026-08-02, version 10.16.0* This app made everything so time consuming and not very fun. They managed to have people hide cache at their own time no compensation whatsoever and expect people to keep doing what they want. I hide the cache just one little thing missing “log book required “ after I submitted many time for different demand from them . Waste of time the cache are nothing but a play toy for children. This is for idiots ### 1/5 — Cheating is rampart *2026-07-24, version 10.14.1* As long their core cheating group keeps paying, they have enough to be relevant. But the organization does nothing to prevent cheating and even promotes by doing nothing about it when reported. You can log any cache at any time and get thousands of finds from your computer at home. Defeats the purpose for those who are playing the game well. And don't question them or they threaten termination. They only want your money like a bad religious group. —> Got a response from the developer on 07/24/2026 and they want me to go through their web page but that’s pointless. Nothing gets fixed and they end up siding with cheaters ### 1/5 — Somebody, please tell me why I didn’t find it. I don’t know if I need a shovel to dig it up or but s *2026-07-06, version 10.13.0* I went to the cemetery near me and I followed where it said and I did not find it. I don’t know if I have to get in trouble and dig it up, but I don’t wanna do that so I get this app one star review if anybody could tell me why I didn’t find it please do. ### 1/5 — Huge Sellout *2026-07-05, version 10.13.0* any geocache with a difficulty above a lamp post requires you to pay $40 a year to see description and stuff. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Unexpectedly Fun *2026-08-31, version 10.18.0* 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 ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-08-29, version 10.18.0* Great way to see nature and explore outdoors ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2026-08-26, version 10.18.0* I love this game so much it really helps me relieve stress ### 5/5 — 25 years of fun *2026-08-23, version 10.17.0* Gives you a great resource for doing finding interesting off beat local POIs when traveling! ### 5/5 — Best app ever *2026-08-20, version 10.17.0* Best app ever if I could give it 100 stars I would so much fun even though there aren’t many around where I live😀😀😀😀😀😀 ### 5/5 — I love geocaching *2026-08-17, version 10.17.0* Geocaching is so fun ### 5/5 — This has changed my life *2026-08-17, version 10.17.0* I absolutely adore Geocaching. I love hiding things. This is pure joy and treasure hunting all wrapped in one. ### 5/5 — Best app for outdoors *2026-08-15, version 10.17.0* Amazing app for a huge scavenger hunt I have had this for a day so far and can’t stop I love it so much great idea!!! ### 5/5 — A happy Geocacher’s Review : *2026-08-12, version 10.17.0* I love Geocaching!! ### 5/5 — Nana time. *2026-08-10, version 10.16.0* these finds around Seattle have been a staycation with my 12 yr grand.
