What's New in Looking4Cache Lite

4.3.2

January 8, 2021

This version includes a few general improvements and small new features. Mainly, the search for caches and thus the LiveMap will be as fast as usual again. General: - When searching for caches, the percentage of favorite points in relation to found logs of premium members were always loaded. This is very slow. The loading of this percentage must now be explicitly selected if this is wanted. - In iOS 14, the date selection has been changed to the new iOS calendar. - When placing actions on the map, actions for the current target (e.g. write log, create waypoint) are always displayed. New functions: - New filter 'No own caches' for existing cache lists. - Local logs can now be sorted by date in ascending and descending order, as well as by cache name. Bug fixes: - If a new authentication was required at geocaching.com, this was not displayed in all cases.

Useful Free Version

I started using this app when Geo Bucket stopped being supported. Now it is back online but I like L4C better, except for the map not being able to pan in direction of travel. If the paid version has it, I will not hesitate to buy it, just for that feature.

More Greed

Now you can’t load anything over a 1.5 star rating. These companies, especially groundspeak are getting out of control with greed, from once started as a nice free activity.

What a load of junk

Seriously used to work great but now turned into a headache to even try and use. Never have I had to re-authorize my geocaching so much for it to not work at all even after I do. Its frustrating when you are somewhere and nothing works and keeps telling you to authorize and then nothing happens and does not want to search for nearby caches. Not everyone has a new phone for the official app or trust me this one would never be used. Not like its working anyways and has not in ages. Pass on this junk app and get something that actually works.

Very Good

With Geosphere no longer supported on iOS 11, I took another look at caching apps. No app does all what Geosphere offered, but after trying them all I think the pro version of this app is the best. The lite version will get you started but to appreciate it you need the full version

The interface takes a little getting used to, but it has a nice display that is focused on the maps. The color scheme is far better than some of its competitors. It does a lot and does it better than anything out there (excepting Geosphere).

Don't trust

My Facebook got hacked right after logging into this app through my geocaching account which is linked to my Facebook.
