Not as great as the old app – Geocaching® Review

I suppose this isn't the place to complain about the change to the basic vs premium membership. The severe restrictions on basic membership caches means some of my geocaching buddies won't participate any more. Apart from that, I like that the map moves with you, once you tap through a few screens to get it to center on current location. But I find it harder to use than the old app. In the sunlight, parts of the app (esp. light letters on dark background) become invisible in the sun. Not good when all you've got is an iPhone. That you no longer have a list of what caches you've done means that when my get-partner and I do a bunch, we have to go home to our computers and try to figure out if each of us logged all the caches. We used to be able to check the app. I find what I assume to be encouraging statements by the app to instead be patronizing. It's annoying to be told that I'm within 30 ft of a cache and to put down my phone and start looking, especially when the cache turns out to be 90 ft away. I don't need the "encouragement" that comes with finding a cache: the smiley is all I need. There's more, but this is already overly long. It's what you need to geocache. Hopefully, all the features of the old app will be put on this one, and the old premium membership rules (cache owners decide what's premium and what isn't) are reinstated.
