misspalot Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Just installed Cachly to replace the classic app, so far really enjoying the features. However I seem to have a problem with seeing other cache types on the live map (e.g. multis, puzzles etc) except for traditional and event caches. I was able to see the different cache types initially but it seemed to have stopped working after logging two finds on the app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Hubbard Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Groundspeak/geocaching.com imposes a restriction on the API that all third-party apps use (and their official app has this limitation). They restrict Regular users to viewing 3 full caches per day, which means hint and description. They also limit only seeing Traditional and Event caches. This is NOT a limitation of Cachly, but a limitation that geocaching.com imposes on us. geocaching.com wants users to have a Premium membership, which in turn allows Cachly to display more data and raises the daily cache views to 6000. Does this sound like what you are seeing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misspalot Posted March 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 I see. Does the display limit apply even if I don't fully load the caches - I believe that is limited to 3 per 24 hours? I was just curious since the mystery and puzzle caches appeared when I first loaded the app but disappeared when I logged on with the app again. To be honest I am already chuffed that I can see caches beyond 1.5 terrain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Hubbard Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 The 3 per 24 hours only applies to "full caches" which have the hint and description. Strange that it showed other cache types for a regular user. Sounds like the API sent extra data! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
