Cachly - Geocaching Customer Service

I love this app. I even enjoyed the latest update, version 6.0 A couple years back, I resisted using Cachly but was forced to learn it after Geosphere was no longer supported. My husband trying to get me to use Cachly but I kept both applications until I could learn to use Cachly. There are so many features that it took me a bit of time to learn to use the new app. I loved that when I asked a question of support they answered immediately. I also like that there are searchable answers online. I also like that they have a Facebook group that posts questions and get answers from the developer, Nik Hubbard, as well as other people assign to help cachers get the most from the app. I thought I was an expert at Cachly but still discover new features every day. This Geocache app is intuitive, stores information when we have a bad signal, has amazing sorting capacity so I can look for Geocaches by favorites, or distance or 100 other things. We use Cachly to plan our trips. We just came back in February from a 10 state geocaching trip and the trip would not have been half as much fun had we not had this app. I wrote a review a year ago when I first started using Cachly. This is my third revision of that review and if I could give it six stars I would.

Geocaching seems fun and interesting until you realize all the readily accessible means of accessing the hobby require paid subscription. I was hoping this app having a cost out of the gait wouldn’t be like the others but it is unfortunately worse. The base and free geocaching app gives information on all basic caches with higher difficulty tiers only showing the location unless you pay the subscription. Cachly only gives basic information and the location of a cache. You can request the same information geocaching gives three times every 24 hours. The one benefit is there are some caches which geocaching does not show, though some that geocaching shows are not visible here meaning that slim benefit is essentially nonexistent. Why in the world would anyone pay for this app if they could get more usage out of a free one? I’m hoping I can get my money back simply out of principle of not paying a developer for this nonsense.

This app has everything the "official" app has, but fortunately a lot more! I love: 1) the integration of Google, Waze, or iPhone maps to give driving directions to the cache, 2) the responsive and smooth loading maps, over one DOZEN map sets available, including OFfLINE maps for most countries, all US states and Canadian provinces. The new premium maps have good topo and a lot more trails included! #cachlypremiummaps are a great investment of a few extra dollars! 3) a quick view of recent cacher success with green/red and date stamp, FTF indicators and a custom lonely cache feature, 4) and even the ability to load and share and create on Cachly and text to others custom .gpx files. 5) clicks COs linked name then hit hides to see a map of all caches by that owner that are currently active! 6) full cache data can be loaded for offline use. 7) highlighter tool has over 20 colors and each color can be custom named. For example the red highlighter I have titled “Y2K caches” and highlighted all Y2K caches globally. That way if I do a search of an area and one is within map view I can immediately see that it is nearby since it is highlighted! 8) counties map!! This is a pro feature but so worth it. For those of us who county cache this is a game changer! This is a TOTAL replacement for the "standard" app. I Love it!

Cachly is the best $5 I’ve spent on an app ever. They update the app frequently and always add super awesome features. In my opinion Cachly’s greatest asset is their offline setting. I travel rather frequently and often to places with little or even no cellphone data far all. Cachly allows you to download thousands and thousands of geocaches into your offline list so you can still find geocaches when you don’t have cellphone service. Not only can you download the caches but you can also download all the log data and images so you have that for extra help too. Cachly is a must have for all geocachers. I can’t recommend them enough! Send them some love buy the app and tell your friends to buy it too, I have gotten a number of muggle friends to purchase the app and turned them into AVID cachers. Thanks for this cache... I mean APP! :)

While I don’t mind the official app and think it works quite well for what it is…Cachly is that next step up. I’ve been a long time user of the app and am I huge fan of it. Auto trackable logging, projected waypoints, you can have lists show with different icons on your map, and use template logs for the big days with loads and loads of find. This app takes a lot of work and I know as of right now a CarPlay addition is not far off and that will be even more amazing. That’s why I don’t mind paying for a subscription, the developer puts a lot of work into this and should be compensated for his time. The only drawback for me is that it can do so much I’m sure I’ve only scratched the surface of everything this can do. If you’re thinking about it, get it, it’ll be worth it.

I resisted Cachly and used the standard app for years and but always wished it had a number of features. Especially when I started hiding more caches I finally took the plunge and started exploring and using Cachly and it has *everything* I’d been missing. The gc app is great, especially for beginners, but Cachly offers so many useful tools- excellent trail maps, numerous filter options (including a way to filter caches not found by yourself and others- excellent for planning caching trips with friends), pin dropping on specific map locations and quickly linking to driving maps, coordinate conversion, trackable scanning and logging, the ability to make quick and through logs/drafts and include trackables and favorites and quickly add pictures. I could go on and on. It’s fantastic. And the best part? The dev, Nicholas Hubbard, is extremely active and helpful and will continue to improve upon the app using suggestions and feedback directly from the users on FB. He will also quickly and directly respond to users who are looking for help, have questions, or have bug problems. That makes a huge difference and continues to improve the whole experience. Great app, highly recommended.

Cachly was already the best iOS Geocaching app out there, but it keeps getting better! The 6.0 release brought some great new features, in app travel bug scanning, quick map switching, and state restore which is the best feature a new user won’t ever notice. We all know how iOS frequently shuts down apps to divert memory to other apps when you switch, making you start over when you switch back to that app. Well now Cachly saves where you are in the app so after you cycle through the camera, the Adventures app, and then come back to Cachly, it’s in the state you left it. It may not sound exciting but it is a huge time and frustration saver. I really don’t know how the app developer has the time to make all these great app enhancements, but I am so very glad he does.

I love this app a lot! It’s a lot more accurate than the free geocaching app. If you’re looking to get into the game more but you don’t have 300 dollars to get a good gps this is definitely the next best thing. Offline maps, waypoints for mulicaches, and being able to log my cache and trackable at the same time is amazing! I want just one thing.. when you click on a cache that’s on the map and that preview bubble pops up saying the name and all that, can you add the 5 color dots for the last 5 logs so I don’t have to click into the cache to see if someone has found it or if the cache hasn’t been found in a long time. That would be really helpful because sometimes I forget to check get all the way out there and geocache is about to archive that cache. Ty!

I’ve been an avid user of Cachly for many years and can say with confidence that this is hands down the best caching experience on the market! I’ve been enjoying this amazing hobby for almost ten years across most of the US and have never had to use anything but my iPhone thanks to this app. At this point the only reason to have the official geocaching app is for the message center. Besides that, Cachly provides far superior functionality and features. The developer is fantastic in constantly adding to these features and always responds to any inquiries in a timings manner. I have recommended this app to everyone I know in the geocaching community and look forward to what future functionality will be implemented!

After using the app for several years, my opinion remains the same. It is an excellent app, providing many advanced features. I am fortunate to travel abroad and the “translate” capability has been invaluable. In addition, the developers continue to add features that polish the app and make it easier to use. Thanks .. Initial review: I've been using the Groundspeak app for many years but it's going away so it was time for a change. This app is so much better than their new offering that the replacement app choice was easy. While navigating to the first cache using Cachly, I found that it integrates seamlessly with my preferred nav app, Waze .. an unexpected bonus. This app has everything I want and more.

This app does everything I want a geocaching app to do. Even some extras thrown in. I like the import from Dropbox option. Also like the option to find caches based on a bookmark list. Not a bad price for an app that does everything I want. Edit to add that the developer has added many many new functions to the app, some I didn't even think I needed. A feature to easily see on the map which caches haven't been found yet, ability to upload many logs at once, advanced filtering of offline lists, and so many more. The developer is great at listening to his users and quickly resolved problems.

Got this app shortly after I began caching in 2017, and I love it! I am not a power user, and am learning new things about it all the time. I especially love being able to attach photos to my personal cache notes. I enjoy hiding caches and use the app to create potential off-line caches, record notes and store photos of the locations, and create a list and map of the potential cache sites. The proximity circles also help locating potential new cache sites. The variety of available maps and satellite views also are very helpful. Now, I just need to keep on experimenting to see what else I can do with it.

I’ve been using Cachly for about a month now, and it has quickly become my favorite geocaching tool. I went ahead and purchased the pro version and the extra features are well worth it for me. I’m thoroughly impressed with it. I love that I can see my DeLorme and County maps and so many of the other features. As a designer and developer I tend to be picky and critical, but I think they’ve done a great job here and I can’t find anything to complain about. I rarely provide reviews but this app deserves the kudos.

100 times better than the official app! Joshua the geocaching vlogger is the reason for my switch to this app. I thought I was perfectly content using a free app, until I finally gave in and paid the measly five dollars. My writing would be five stars if it wasn’t for the fact the app stops uploading geocaches after you’ve uploaded 1000 geocaches in a day. As a truck driver I spend my downtime scouring the maps looking for trucker friendly hides. Went through my thousands of loads in a short time last night, and now I can’t use the application to find any new caches until this evening. Other than that, thank you for a wonderful application!

Version 6. Nic has done it again! More fabulous capabilities making caching easier except perhaps actually finding the cache, certainly making it easier to get to GZ. With all the search abilities, picking a cache to chase down is better and easier. Cachly has now replaced my GPSr in 95% of the time. Thank You Nic for all you do to develop and support Cachly. Cache On With Cachly! 4cycle I’ve been caching for 7 years and have used at one time or another every app available for iOS devices. Geosphere was the top app until the developer stopped updating the app. Then came Cachly. So many features and a developer who is responsive and continues to add features. It takes awhile to figure out how to use all the features, but well worth the time. I still sit down now and then and play in the app and usually learn some new feature. I just can’t say enough how great this app is. Cache On with Cachly!

Hands down the best geocaching app. The waypoint averaging and access to multiple satellite maps is invaluable. The ability to edit logs and enable/disable caches is also a massive user friendly time saver. My favorite feature over other apps are the red proximity circles around geocaches. That feature is ground breaking when trying to hide geocaches. CACHLY is developed with geocachers and grows and enhances the game in exponential ways!!! When you make the move to premium membership, do yourself a favor and make the move to CACHLY.

The fact that you can have your standard text saved for that trip or day of caching and then add additional specific log for that one cache is an awesome feature. Before I was copying & pasting every time from a note on my phone since the iPhone copy paste memory seems to have gotten very short all of a sudden. Definitely worth the price with that feature alone. Add on to the fact that I can use this app on my brand new Apple Watch and it’s a no brainer.

I was a bit intimidated by this app in the beginning. I kept using it because I liked the format better than the official app. I slowly started to learn some of its features. Then I discovered they have a user Facebook group. The developer is very interactive and all of the members are incredibly helpful and supportive. I’ve been using this app exclusively for about 2 years now, and I don’t even touch the official app except for messaging. Thank you Cachly team for your amazing support and the low cost is amazing! I cannot wait for v5!!! 😁

I have been using this app for a couple of months now and this is now my go-to app. I was using my old one for years but then we could no longer use google maps. This app gives us a variety of choices as to which one you want to use. This is a perfect app and it sounds like support is great. I haven't found anything his app needs! Update. I contacted support while caching and received a reply within the hour. Fantastic!! (It was a case of the idiot user...lol) Update: this newer version is fantastic!!

Like most apps, there’s a learning curve. However once dialed in (and with premium), it’s the best caching app out there. There are several minor advantages, but being able to preload the maps is massive. The one thing I’d like to have, is the ability to change the default of the compass orientation (it might be there and I have it found it). My preference is facing the direction of my phone is. So I’m continually hitting the button twice to get the orientation right.

I love Cachly. I rarely will pay for an app without trying it or knowing someone that has it. I was out on a puzzle cache run using the official app and it wasn’t going well. I was so frustrated I bought Cachly. I’ve never looked back. The app is well maintained and updated frequently. Just when you think it does everything you need they add a new feature. The forums are wonderful and the customer service is amazing. Best app I have purchased!

I was a long time user of the geocaching App. I had played with Cachly a few times but just didn’t appreciate it. A month ago I decided to give it another try. That was it. I’m hooked. It does almost everything the other app did but more. The last thing for me to find is the map with trail like to original app otherwise I never use anything but Cachly. Beat money spent on an app ever. A very happy customer. Thanks and keep up the great work.

Cachly gives you so many options to customize your logs that it makes it super easy and fast to log on the go. Especially like that you can adjust date/time stamp, and Love that you can customize your signature to include geo-name, total caches found so far etc. easy to pick up and drop off trackables. And recently started using the Google maps link for driving directions to caches. Overall Love it.

Only app I have paid for. I am glad I did, there is a setting for a red ring around a cache the indicates how far you need to be to place another cache. I believe basic users can see all traditional caches regardless of the D/T rating. The official app only shows up to 2/2. Get this app you wont regret it. The first few caches will be strange while you adjust to new app but you wont go back to the old app.

I have been using Cachly now for three months. At first I only used it for placing hides because of the cache radius feature. But I love the filters it has and searching for caches by months published or by owner. I’m using the geocaching app right along side Cachly but finding I’m opening Cachly more and more. I would love to see them make a texting feature when new caches are published we get a text alert from the app! That would be awesome!!!

Over time we have used many caching applications. We would have to say that this one is the best we have used, ever! Of course we started with a Garmin but quickly moved to our iPhone as the accuracy got better. There is just so much more information available when you use a smartphone. Recently we added a Bad Elf to the mix so we have the best of both worlds. Thanks for making Cachly

This app is awesome and so full of tools that I don’t even know how to use them all! Everything about it is high quality. My favorite feature is the radius rings around caches so we can see if we’re in the clear to hide a cache. My next favorite feature is being is able to log all my trackables at the same time when I visit a cache. If you’re a serious geocacher, you need this app.

I have been using this app for a while now since Geosphere stopped updating their app. The features far outweigh the cost of this app. The best part of this app is that the developers listen to our needs and include requests into new releases where possible. The community is strong and support each other with technical issues. The developer always responds to issues that the community can’t solve. Great work!

App consistently spins and responds with a 502 Bad Gateway. One out of ten days it will work as advertised. For a paid app I had higher expectations. I keep coming back because it’s still better than the proprietary app from Groundspeak. The only way it works is to uninstall and reinstall constantly. But everything is lost and everything has to be redownloaded. So time consuming. Can’t just open it and go.

This is the best geocaching app EVER!! Hands down! The customer service is top notch and they are always working on awesome updates - mostly, if not all, taken from user suggestions! If I’m being honest, Cachly is the only reason I still have an iPhone, and I wouldn’t have it any other way! This app has EVERYTHING you need for Geocaching! Sooooo many features! Seriously the absolute best!!

I have been a beta tester of 5.0 and it is great to see it released. There are many more improvements and features but since I've seen them for some time in the betas, I'm hard pressed to recall them all now. Development team is very responsive to issues and very open to feature suggestions. You won't go wrong with this one. It is great to have a well supported superior alternative to the standard app for Geocaching.

Cachly continues to impress and enhance my geocaching experience. It is so much better than the official application that you can't even compare them. The developer continues to deliver well thought out and we'll executed features into his application. I can't imagine having to go back to caching without Cachly. I even pick up my phone and use that instead of the Geocaching website on my laptop. Excellent, excellent geocaching app!

For those on the fence, get this app! It is literally the best. If you are trying to get all the caches without paying for premium at Geocaching, don’t bother, but if you are a premium member and want a bunch of other, easy to use resources, this is for you. Love the maps (yes, I did purchase some). The interface is easy and intuitive unlike the geocaching app. Can’t wait for CarPlay to be functional!

I used the paid official geocaching program and was happy with it. Then GroundSpeak decided that they needed more profit so they pulled it. I was unhappy with there new program. I asked friends what they used and this program came up. I have been very happy with it. They took the best of the official paid program and added functions I didn’t know I needed yet. I recommend it to everyone who uses iPhone (no droid app).

I enjoy using Cachly instead of the Geocaching app sometimes because there are many features that I like. There’s back-logging, the “FTF” tag, sort by date published, ability to see all photos for a cache in one place, etc. Very useful app if you’re looking for a caching app for more experienced cachers. Definitely worth the money!

I love this App and have been using it since GCHQ took away my beloved premium pre-subscription based App. Between first purchase of this App and now,I’ve suffered vision loss. The new Dark Mode on IOS and fb and fb messages helps a great deal but I can barely use Cachly now. I really wish the Cachly team would either work on a dark mode or write the app to comply with the phone’s native dark mode settings. A dark map also would help a great deal. Thanks for doing what y’all do.

I’ve always used the main app, up until I found out about this one. I think this is the better app. After reading the previous reviews I joined the FB group. After a week or so, I asked a simple question about the app and man, those people are hateful, not helpful as the previous reviewer claimed. Oh well, the app is great, thanks to the developer.

Very satisfied user. Any issues I may have had with this app in the past have been addressed through updates before I ever took the time to bring them up. Map support is excellent, which I definitely appreciate for all of the backcountry caching I do. Highly recommended for any iOS device user.

I would give more stars as this app has a lot of good things about it, however I haven't been able to use it in weeks. I keep getting an error message, attempted to uninstall and reinstall app which did not fix the error message. Can not log out as I get an error message on this as well

This app it just missing showing your tracks, a very helpful feature when navigating in the woods! Same comment as previously, the app could really use the option to turn on your tracking to find your way back out of the woods!

This is the iOS geocache app that just works. Great features and it’s constantly improving. Love the map integration. Offline maps are amazing and now super fast. Great sorting tools. If you haven't tried offline in the app yet you're missing out. My favorite way to organize caches now. This is THE app to use if you’re on iOS.

In all seriousness, this app keeps me involved in this crazy and awesome hobby of ours. It works, it works well, and when it doesn’t the developers are right on it. Love, love, love the “cache perimeter” circles on the map! As someone who lives in a cache heavy area, it’s really helpful to see where the possible spots for a new one is. Very helpful feature. Also nice: offline caches for those mountain treks. Given the work that must have gone into this, the cost is a steal. I spend more on coffee and gas in a single geocaching outing than I did on this app. Some may think think this is a canned review. I promise you that I have nothing to do with the app other than being a grateful user.

While I love cachly, the only thing I would want added is the ability to see all information under basic instead of having to do the limited 3 per 24hrs unless you upgrade to premium. I can see everything on the main app except premium caches, but it’s the little things I like about using cachly and this is keeping me from fully enjoying the app.

Love this app. Has everything you need in it!

LOVE Cachly! Amazing functionality, easy to use and fantastic support! Nick listens and engages with the users…so happy with it!

Geocaching using Cachly is so effortless. The capabilities for filtering, navigation, off-line use and other amazing features are peerless. I use it everyday to quickly identify geocaches to seek and navigate to them using Apple Maps and CarPlay. Then"FTF" flag is essential to being a successful hound. Support is quick and amazing as there's an active and vibrant community of users as well as the developer, Nick.

This app has so much more functionality than the official one. I love that I can drop a pin anywhere and get coordinates. One favourite feature is the ability to see my own log as well as my friends’ logs when determining what caches we want to go for. I love that I can highlight caches with any tag I want to make them. Now that the map scrolls as you move, it’s even better. I can’t wait for CarPlay functionality which should be out soon.

"Absolutely love Cachly! It's my go-to geocaching app for its intuitive interface, precise navigation, and comprehensive features. From offline maps to seamless logging, it's a geocacher's dream companion. Highly recommend for anyone passionate about outdoor adventures!"

This has been my go to app for caching since iPhones included a gps chip. Nic, the developer extraordinaire , stops at nothing to make the users happy. The app is always improving and evolving and if you can imagine it, the app does it.

This is probably the easiest app to use while Geocaching the back roads. I would never leave home without it.

Merci â ceux qui travaillent au maintien et la mise à jour de l’application . Nous permettre de faire de belles découvertes est merveilleux

A good ap, better than the geocaching one but it does not lay down a breadcrumb trail which would be very useful.

This seems to have far more functionality than the Geocaching app I’ve been using up to now. I often need to be able to edit previously submitted logs and this does so in a very intuitive way. I like the ability to show AL stages. Seems stable too.

Of all the apps available to use when geocaching, Cachly has to be the best I’ve used yet. With constant updates and upgrades, the Cachly team is very active on social media and takes the time to give you the support you require with quick response. Yo won’t find a geocaching app like it.

Love it! It just keeps getting better! Why aren’t you using this one? Best one out there

The best geocaching app!!!!

I’ve used Cachly since the beginning and, for me, there’s no better app on iOS for geocaching. It’s a must have.

Far better than the official app, highly recommend.

Best geocaching app for IOS , too bad it reverts back to the original app for certain things.would be cool tso have a widget for IOS an

Been caching for a couple years and got the tip from fellow cachers fairly early. The tools and features are complete. I use the premium offline maps for my area they provide trails and other physical features which really helps. The ability to create a draft log in the field (time and date stamp included) and finish it later is another must use feature. The navigation option includes ability to link to your driving navigation app of choice which I use all the time. The filter features in the map display have just about every attribute you can think of. Awesome app.

This is got to be one of the easiest apps to use a navigate. I’d recommend this one to anybody, and my favourite function is the Translate feature. Thanks for all your hard work on this Nick

Whether you are new to geocaching or a seasoned cacher, you NEED this app. For what it costs I recommend you just buy it. So many features you need and want v

I recently downloaded version 6 of Cachly and am enjoying many of the new features. The new TB scanner works great and the ability to switch maps quickly is a time saver. I love being able to see my friends logs on a cache at a glance. Thanks to the developer for these new features.

Every time there's an update, there's always a wonderful addition that makes this app better all the time. I am grateful that I just discovered that I can sort lists within the app! Keep up the amazing work, Nic!

Does everything my GPSr does, but from the convenience of my phone! EXCELLENT offline capabilities — including pocket query downloading and free offline maps. Links up with your geocaching profile online to post your finds right from the app.

I still only know a ‘small’ percentage of the capabilities of this app. Navigating to, storing caches off line it’s all very easy but it also has saved me countless hours in logging some weekends with 300-500 finds. LOVE, love, LOVE!!!! This App. Kudos to the programmer.

This is by far the best caching app I’ve used. It’s missing 1 star in the rating because the Apple Watch “Nearby” function does not work. It returns an error message. I’m a heavy GSAK user, but because its future is uncertain, I started exploring options. This app came up. Although it’s nowhere near a replacement, it’s found a regular use in my cache outings. If you could roll Cachtur.no app’s functions into this app it would come close to what I use GSAK for. If that happened Cachly would get a 10 star rating.

I use to love this app but since the last update, it’s just not as good. They also charge for the maps we had for free... Very sad.

We’ve been cachers for years and went through Groundspeak’s new business model transition with their app going through painful growing pains. This app is more than I ever expected. Good Job. We’re planning to use it offline for the first time in the Rocky Mountains this coming week. I love all the map features. This will be very helpful especially in challenging terrain. I like that there is an iPad version. This helps when planning a caching venture, especially when traveling. One thing... I almost did not buy this app because the app description does not clearly say that this will link to my Groudspeak geocaching account. That might encourage others to buy it. I know this app is not free but the features are far superior to anything I’ve been using so far including other geocaching apps. It’s a good buy. Also leave your handheld GPS device at home and use this offline. This is the way to go.

Went caching today and used the updated Cachly and maps. So easy to use and everything right there! The Cachly page on FB has been especially helpful. I use Cachly all the time now instead of my GPS. The maps are a true bargain. I highly recommend Cachly ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

The new maps are amazing as well as the new features i’m still exploring them all.

It has all the features and simple to use. Best geocaching app out there.

Nous utilisions une autre app auparavant mais celle-ci, avec la possibilité d'y importer directement les pockets query, c'est super. De plus, il est plus facile d'enregistrer les logs directement de l'app. C'était un bon achat.

I love the cache radius feature. A big help when looking for hiding spots for new caches.

I thought long and hard about leaving the Apple family for the Samsung Note 8 but nothing could replace Cachly so there was no way I would. This app has everything I need in a geocaching app I use it far (98% of the time) more then my Garmin 750. Great support and many wonderful features added every update. Worth every penny this one is for sure.

Just started using Cachly but seems like a great App!

With Geosphere out of updates, I moved to Cachly and have been really impressed. I especially like the downloadable offline maps.

Great program, be nice to do a search that had trackables

Have only been using this program since the old one was shut down. Didn't like the new program at all. Poor second choice so I downloaded Cachly and like it almost as much as the original geocaching program. Thanks for coming up with a better alternative.

Great app all around, was surprised to find out that my $10 geocaching app was 'retired' in place of a very expensive pay as you play app. I'm happy to support a company that puts out good work, I highly recommend this app over the new GroundSpeak Geocaching app.

I’m a newbie, and this thing seems to assume that you’re an expert geocacher. Instructions are poor and very confusing. Plus I paid for it in good faith, and now it turns out that I’m not actually a premium member. Paying for the app gets you the app and 3 searches every 24 hours. If you want more searches, you have to pay a monthly or yearly subscription fee. No one told me that up front! Stinking thieves! The excuse they give is that the limit is a “third party restriction,” but they do not make this restriction clear up front, which is highly misleading. I repeat, stinking thieves! To make matters worse, most of the caches aren’t even there anymore yet they keep them on the map for seemingly forever. So you decide to hunt for a cache on the map, you select it as one of your three free ones, and then you have access to see all the details about the cache that tell you, guess what, the previous eight people all couldn’t find the cache so it’s almost certainly a waste of your time to hunt for it. Now you’re down to just the two free hunts, and there’s a large chance that the same issue will occur with them as well. Save your money. Really. I wish I had. I feel completely cheated.

I thought the $5 paywall to install the app was so that I could get premium geocaching benefits without paying the monthly subscription with the official geocaching app. Upon downloading it, I realized there was also a premium for this app. No problem, they probably want to make more money. I get it. But looking at the map I discovered I could only see traditional and event caches. Multi, mystery, or any other type of caches were unable to be seen unless through a direct search. I assumed this was a glitch since the thought that this was how this $5 app worked was laughable. But upon further digging I found that only premium members could see those types of caches. Why?? The basic geocaching app with my similarly free account can see multi caches, and even grayed out advanced caches. WHY IS THIS PAID APP WORSE THAN THE FREE ONE? I see zero benefit of this app over the official one. The fact that this has 5 stars is astounding to me. Don’t waste your money. Would give a zero if I could

I have been a premium geocacher for a very long time, but this is my first venture into caching with a smartphone. It has taken quite a bit of trial and error to get comfortable with this app. I have not found the user forums to be very helpful. Cachly will never replace my old-fashioned handheld gps unit, especially when caching in remote areas with a poor cell signal. But it is good when I just want to find one or two caches in an area. GPS burns too much battery life on the phone to use this for a full day of geocaching. Though this is supposed to be a paid app, I haven’t figured out where to pay for it. That basic information would be useful since I do support apps that are reasonably well designed.

I signed up for the yearly subscription so am on the 1 week trial. Despite quitting the app and restoring purchases, I am still limited to three caches with details a day. Quitting and refreshing again sometimes gets me one more cache. I see from the developers reply that this is due to limit of the website, not the app. And, this is explicitly stated at the end of description. I think it would be helpful for people new to this if it were listed higher up in the description.

I bought this app from a tip from other geocachers (who now I see were probably paid advertisers) to help narrow down on a specific cache. Only after I bought it, I found that cache isn't even in this database and you only get access to 3 caches per 24 hours unless you pay them additional money. Which, fair enough if it's upfront, but I don't expect that in a paid app. I can't speak to how well it works because of the use limitations and the one I wanted wasn't included.

Didn’t get to try it out yet but I am already upset a little about it haha. You have to pay for the app, then to fully unlock and enjoy extra features that are free on other free geocaching apps; you have to pay for a 3 month or one year premium membership fee to unlock those extra features. Pay to pay again, maybe it’s worth it? Kind of suckered into it now, I paid for the app so of course I’ll end up paying for a stinkin one year membership to see if it is worth it.

Please devs. Help me understand. I paid 5 dollars for this app but I can’t see any details of any geocaches in my area. Limited to 3 in 24 hours, Although on the free official geocache app I can see these details with no limit as to how many I want to look at. What do I gain by paying for this app? So far I feel cheated due to it not being as useful as the free Geocaching app. I find this app has less features. Unless I am my missing something, I feel this app is unnecessary and people should just use the free official geocaching app instead.

Just wasted $7 because I can’t use the app in Canada

Had no issues until this most recent update. Now trackables won’t load, owned or other in inventory. Adventure lab stops not showing on map. I’ll go back to 5 stars if this clears up 😩

GPS jumps all over the place.

I bought this app on the recommendation of a friend who said it would have everything I need. He was surprised I had to pay for it as he got it for free. I paid $6.99 and the first geocache I tap on it tells me I can only look at three per day unless I upgrade to “premium”. There is a vague description of what “premium” does, but no price indicated. This seems like a cash grab and I feel ripped off for the $7 I’ve already spent.

I bought this app just so I have to buy my stuff. That is really bad

After purchasing the Cachly app l was unable to login. Instead of helping me Cachly support told me I had to contact another company who manages the accounts.

You can not log in or sing up it is a scam don’t waste your money on this app they are just taking peoples money!

Quand même pas si pire

Don’t buy this app if you don’t already have the full geocache membership or you can only find three a day

Once you pay to download you need to pay to get more than 3 caches per day then pay for groundspeak full account I'd rather use groundspeak app at that rate.

Nice update but wondering why when I want to view where a trackable has travelled the app sends me to the regular geocaching app. In the past, the app would map out the trackable’s route. I liked that feature a lot. Hope this is just a bug.

Ever since a few updates ago this app can not load any geocaches and gives an error. On the verge of deleting as it’s been several weeks and this hasn’t been resolved.

I spent a long time just figuring out how to go premium
