In seconds you can store geocaches including all informations like the last logs, the waypoints and the images to your device over the direct API access. Or you can import a gpx file or a pocket query. All data will be stored on your device for offline usage.
Log your founds with images and trackables instantly or after your trip in the app. Also you can export them as fieldnotes to the geocaching.com website. And this not only for you but also for your complete team.
Key functions:
- Get Caches from the Geocaching Live API or from GPX Files
- Manage caches in lists and find them with a lot of sort and filter options.
- Directly log a cache or send field notes. Also for multiple users. Owner logs are possible.
- Search and log trackables.
- GCVote integration.
- Maps: OpenStreetMap, OpenCycleMap, MapQuest, Bing and more.
- Offline caching supported (offline maps are only available in the pro version).
- Save power and cache longer. The GPS changes the accuracy automatically based on the distance to the cache.
Attention: To access the geocaches you need a user on Groundspeak´s Geocaching plattform (.com). According to your membership type the amount of data is restricted. Basic Members of geocaching.com could load 3 full cache descriptions per day and up to 6000 lite descriptions. To get full access you should have a premium account.

More Greed
Medictrode
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.
No caches displayed

There were numerous geocaches around French Creek State Park, in Pennsylvania. However the app did not displayed any geocaches. Very disappointing.
So far, very good

I'm test driving this on as it had a lite (free) version to tryout before purchasing it. With the new official geocaching app by GroundSpeak, I needed to find a app more like the original geocaching app which will be disabled very soon. So far I like what I see, short learning curve also. My only complaint is that I often go caching with non-premium members, my wife in particular. And although in the list view it clearly shows premium only caches, on the map view you can't tell the difference. It would be nice to set a filter to remove those when I'm in such a situation. Otherwise I like what I see and am using.
Don't trust

My Facebook got hacked right after logging into this app through my geocaching account which is linked to my Facebook.
Don’t UPDATE...
Medictrode
If you have the older version don’t update to this one because they’ve removed the ability to click on the cache name and go right to its webpage. This bypassed the greedy new Groundspeak restrictions put in place. You can still copy and paste the GC code and go into your browser though, just an extra step. This was a bad move on your part removing this functionality however at least you guys are less evil than groundspeak.
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 bother...

I have a cache in a cemetery less than 500 feet to the east of my house... This app was trying to lead me north into the middle of a field of wheat. At one point it said I was 443 feet from the cache, then suddenly after taking only two steps, I was 697 feet from the cache. I would not recommend this app.
