The app Does what it says it will do
While I agree with Doris45, that operating the app under a basic membership has its limitations, the app still does what it says it will do. The features available with a premium membership are because those people pay for the service. Groundspeak / Geocaching is no different than any other service that has a free basic and a paying premium membership system. The bottom line is it does what it says it will do.
That being said, I am giving it 4 stars (I would give it 4.5 or even 4.75 if I could, just not a full 5) because I still find little glitches and some limitations that annoy me (i.e. only being able to see /load caches if zoomed in under a certain level / limit on number of caches visible at one time). Where I am, caches are spread out and I would rather see a wide view rather than needing to scroll over and then load a new area. But given the option of the app on a phone or a GPS that I have to upload and its other limitations, I choose the app on a smart phone any day (where I still have cell service).
I’ve been doing this for a while
The reason why I started geocaching was we did a family road trip from Ohio to Mount Rushmore and the kids were bored when we would stop so I decided to do geocaching to get them moving around and to look for things. When I was in Florida visiting family and friends I decided to go geocaching with the kids again and we found a playground right down the street from my mother-in-law‘s house. They have never been to.
some free advice to anybody is thinking about doing this. Keep in mind I can travel rules never travel alone. And use some type of Google Maps or other type of map identifying app to make sure you know where to park the car so you don’t have to walk so far or if the area you’re looking at is under construction. And check on the activity of the cachet you’re going to!!
