Customer Reviews
Exactly what we were looking for!
We were looking for a way to get rid of our big binder full of printed cache info. We had a big day of geocaching planned for today, and this app got a major trial!
I use an iPod, and I don't have a cell phone. We were really thinking that there was NO app that would work for us, but this one is perfect! We use our older GPS to load caches into, and then have ALL the information right in the iPod! Also included: The coordinates! A couple of times today, we didn't have the cache loaded in the GPS, but we were able to just manually load them in from the app.
Really happy! I'm not sure how we got by without this one.
Needs improvement
Crashes quite often and I had a very difficult time getting it to link to my Geocaching.com account. Kept getting token access errors.
I really like Navigon and TomTom feature and it the only reason why I don't delete it from my iPhone.
