App is completely broken – Geocaching® Review

My kids found out about geocaching from one of their friends and begged me to take them out. I had done some geocaching in the past and thought it would be a fun activity to share with the kids. This geocaching app has apparently cornered the market since it is the only app with thousands of reviews and a google search for “geocaching” quickly turns into nothing but links to this app/website. Initially I thought that would be a good thing. Turns out that this company has hired some good seo people and pure crap developers. The free options were few and far between so I figured I would look into the premium option especially since you can’t do much of anything without the app asking you to upgrade on every single action. I thought the monthly cost of $6 was ridiculous but I’m used to subscription pricing and making sure to turn things off before I get charged again so i went ahead and bought it. Everything went through fine on the app store so i was now a premium member. Or so I thought. The premium cache markers came up and i was able to find one down the street and we headed out for our adventure. I put my phone in my pocket until we got close to the site. When i pulled the app up, it asked me to upgrade to premium again. I selected the upgrade again and I was able to see the cache information. However, anytime i closed the app it would go back to asking me to upgrade again. After about 5 rounds of this, it stopped working completely. Every time i open the app, it acts like i am a brand new user. Selecting “upgrade to premium” gives me the message that i am subscribed but the app still does not work. I tried closing the app, logging out, and redownloading the app. Nothing worked. A complete waste of time and nothing but frustration.
