All Activity

When you're editing a template, there's a key icon down the bottom right of the screen, which shows you what's available. This is what I use D*|cache_difficulty|*/T*|cache_terrain|*

Yes, this will come in 8.2.

Will the app be updated to use the new Liquid Glass UI in iOS 26? I would love to see it as the app just looks out of place in the current state

Just to be clear. You have create a text template for Found caches. But that same template is being inserted for trackable incorrectly?

Currently imports and exports do not support highlight color. I hope to see this in a future version.

I always have them turned on. I woke up today, checked again, and they were back. Nearly feel like I was hallucinating. But they're back now! Solved (at least for Czech Republic and Spain, still not for Malaysia/Singapore/Brunei)

Did you change the map settings in Cachly to hide hill-shades and contours?

Hi Nic, while I'm still waiting for Malaysian contour lines, I just now noticed that the map of some European countries, which I've forever had downloaded as I purchased maps some time ago and have not deleted them, have disappeared. Specifically, I'm not seeing any contour lines in the Czech Republic, where I know they were there. Same goes for Spain, which I recently downloaded. Is this a bug on my side? My maps are still showing as offline whole-country maps with Extras downloaded. I've tried redownloading and the issue pertains.

I very often use the template function for logging. It seems that the text of the template is used for dropping of trackables even when I haven chosen to use it only for geocache founds. Can you please have a look.

Is it possible to add the DT rating of the cache as a keyword insert when setting up text templates ? Example: DT 1.5/1.5 would suffice. many thanks

Happy to help!

That is great news!

Ok no problem, i'll do that. My apologies, I totally missed that. Thank you. Yeah I thought that might be the case. Thanks again for your help Nic, and thank you for putting in the time and effort for this great app!

This is not possible. Those are system apps and have different permissions. Don't close Cachly from the app selector, this is not necessary. When you leave an app (background it) iOS only keeps alive things that the app has requested. In this case, it is location services. In the friends section of Cachly, there is a search bar to search for username. Yeah, they don't provide a way to do this for third-party apps.

Thanks for the quick response! 1. I was thinking of a system where you don't have to have the app open at all (i.e. having been closed from the app selector screen when you partially swipe up from the bottom of the screen on an iphone), sort of how like the Shortcuts app can automatically run a script based on your location or the weather app can display widgets with the weather at your location without having those apps actually open. I don't know how possible this is but it would certainly make it easier to stumble upon nearby caches wherever you are. 2. I am aware that you can see your list of friends from cachly, and send a request from the user's profile, but if the user has never logged on a cache before or hidden any caches there is no way to access their profile to send a request; in this case, the only current option is to search for their username on the geocaching website, or, if you're in person, use the QR code feature on the Geocaching app. I think it would be great to have these systems built into Cachly. Again, not sure if this is possible with 3rd party apps, but it would make for a more seamless experience. 3. Ah ok I didn't realise this. by trackables I meant that if you buy, for example, a Geocaching Travel Bug that comes with an activation code, you can use the geochaching website to register it as a trackable. However, if uploading caches isn't possible on 3rd party apps, I doubt this is either. Also a couple of small things: ⁠when viewing the details of a cache, it would be good to have an option to hide images that users have logged until the user has made a log. as often the images contain spoilers on where the cache is or what it looks like which detracts from the fun of the game. And on the logs page, it would be good to be able to see the time that other users' logs were made, as for popular caches its nice to see how many hours after the latest log you are. Thanks again!

Yay, I fixed it! The map downloads now work as they should, thank you!

Yep. Your IPS blocked it. I use Backblaze which is a very popular B2 style file host similar to Amazon S3. Those sites could get flagged for spam occasionally.

1. Cachly does have this feature. If you turn on Proximity alert, you can leave Cachly and it will alert you for caches nearby. In the Live tab, it will not continue to load caches and that could exhaust your API limits during the day. Instead, I would save caches to an offline list, then turn on proximity alert for lists. 2. Adding friends IS possible in Cachly. Go to More > Friends and you will see your list of friends in Cachly. Also, going to a users profile and tapping the + on the top right will allow you to send a friend request. Third-part apps have limitations, please see: https://help.cachly.com/article/52-friends 3. Hiding your own caches it not possible on third-party apps. What do you mean by uploading your trackables? 4. This might come in a future version.

Apparently my ISP blocked the website for whatever reason, after the countdown I tried proceeding to the website again and got the countdown again. Seems like I have to resolve this with my ISP then? Or maybe not? Any ideas? I'll try on my computer once I'm home.

Can you access f000.backblazeb2.com? What about on a computer?

Any ideas? The issue remains unresolved.

Hi all, I recently moved from the Geocaching app to Cachly, and I am enjoying all the great features that the base geocaching app doesn't support. I think it is a better and more thoughtfully designed application. That being said, I think there are a couple of ways that it can be improved: 1. The proximity notification system is currently great for when you're navigating to a specific cache. However, I think it would be fantastic if there could be a way to enable the app to constantly monitor in the background (whether or not you have the app open) for any nearby caches. This would be great for discovering caches that you didn't even know were there whilst going about your daily business. To save battery life and mobile data the app could just load the coordinates of nearby caches (to allow the app to know how close you are) and only load full cache details when you click on the notification, and use downloaded offline caches where already available. 2. Adding friends is currently not possible using Cachly. It would be great to see a built-in system to add friends by usernames and qr codes, and a messaging system, instead of having links to the Geocaching website. 3. Hiding your own caches or uploading your own trackables is currently not possible in Cachly. It would be great to see this be implemented as a feature to prevent the need to use the Geocaching website as well. 4. iOS widgets! It would be great to have some useful widgets such as nearby caches on a map or viewing the status of caches the user has hidden; the official Geocaching has some of these already. Hopefully this is useful: these features would help Cachly to become more of a standalone app and remove the need to use the official Geocaching app and website on top of Cachly to access all of Geocaching's features. Thanks again for creating such a useful app!

yup, still can't download the map

Are you still having this issue?

Sorry, I forgot to reply. I'm from Poland
