Geocaching with Geosphere Reviews

I use this daily.

RandomGuySteve

I open this app at least once daily to see what's around me that can be found. It's great and very user friendly yet it's so in depth with features, I'm still learning all of the bells and whistles. My only question or concern is that there is a benchmark icon loaded but no way to search for them that I'm aware of. Otherwise, I'm extremely pleased with this app and how fully loaded with features it is.

Nothing else comes close!

If you use an iPhone this is a no brainer! Buy it. Updated user interface is now leveraging the direct API which means you get best of both worlds: ad hoc anywhere anytime access or offline DB mode with thousands of caches pre loaded. Gr8 integration with Dropbox for exporting and importing GPX and field notes etc. Now you can deal with photos and trackable's at the same time you're logging a geocache! The mode strip is very convenient for turning the GPS on and off - and the flashlight button kicks butt! Nice touch! I've been hoping that I could sort on attributes and favorites and my wish has now come true! Overall, an amazing and powerful update. The potential is absolutely there. I can't wait to get out and put it through its paces. Hopefully it's as reliable and high-performance as the previous version. All indicators are that it will be. ******************************* The one feature I would like to see added is the display of the last few logs in List View using symbols indicating whether a cache was found, not found, or notes. Remains top desire able. ******************************** I don't love the constant compass calibrate screen at most in opportune times! Would love a way to quickly bypass sometimes!!! My experience caching w iPhone 4/5 is very positive. Battery life is as decent as can be expected. Recommend you invest in aux charger pack for all day sessions. Integration w navigon and maps is handy. Pick a target cache, using built-in bookmark send target coords to Navigon and let it voice turn by turn get you to nearest drivable spot, then jump back into Geosphere and got get it on bike or foot! Very handy and safer to keep eyes on road rather than GPS unit or phone. Lately, I have enjoyed speaking or dictating my log entries into the phone. It works very well! It's nice to be able to upload as log in real time now if desired rather than as a field note like before. Since I am a GSAK user I tend to log and load after a day or two all at once, but sometimes, like FTF you want to put something in place quick. No I have no need for ground speaks app at all!!! Great job. More later on battery life and operation.

Wheres the cache descriptions?

O/over

I'll change my rating as soon as I can figure out how to get the descriptions and logs of selected caches. Every cache i select doesnt have any of that information

Not happy

Purchased this ap a few days ago. It looks like a good ap but it hasn't worked one time I can't get it to link to geocach dot com all my e-mail to support have not been answered. I don't recommend buying this ap

Perfec app.

I am very new to geocaching so this is my very first app. For those who complain that nothing happens I can tell that I count figure out how this app works for 30 minutes. Just watch a videos provided by a developers. So after watching the very first video I was finally able to figure out how this app works. It may look very confusing in the begging yet it is very easy and fun app to use for your geocaching. Just give it a try you will love it in the end. I updated my account to a premium and I love that app now shows me special caches and most importantly a parking spot close to the cache. I like that it shows which direction I'm currently going, because few times while driving I realized that I was going Opposite direction.

The Best

Mulvaney18

I have tried all the major caching apps, and this is the only one that I have not deleted. It offers the best display for cache information. It's ability to import caches, filter, merge lists, and export gpx files lets it act as a mini-gsak. I use Geosphere to keep track of puzzles that have been completed, qualified challenges, or other caches that I particularly want to do. It quickly loads pocket queries or performs live searches, allows me to filter and map the results, and offers a beautiful display of cache pages. I can easily export the results to my handheld gpsr or use the app to cache with the iPhone. And it interfaces nicely with routing apps to get me where I want to go. Did I mention that you can also edit caches, view the underlying html, and ignore caches fr within the app?

Utilitarian: Functional but Fugly

The official app looks so much better compared to this design of a bygone era of iOS.

I've been using Geosphere for a couple of years; my iPad and this app have replaced my Garmin handheld GPS. The information which it displays and maps are supurb! A must have!

Compass is constantly recalibratiing

Leehulu

I love everything about Geosphere except for the black screen with the little ball that tells me to circle the ball to recalibrate the compass. Please do away with this feature as it comes up at the most inopportune times. For geocaching, I love the new Online feature. I've used the Offline with a downloaded query for about 4 years. It is very easy to use and I will give Geosphere a 5 rating as soon as there is a fix for the compass calibration. Please fix the problem of uploading field notes. It says something is expired.

My favorite app for traveling and having hundreds of pocket queries loaded into it! Great way to filter online and offline caches! Must have for the advanced player!
