I see no improvement in the performance of the phone or Cachly. I’m going to spring for an upgrade to IPhone 14…! I really believe there is something wrong with the memory on the phone. Thank you for taking the time to look at this issue, but you have plenty of other stuff in your life to deal with right now. If I need assistance in the future, I’ll check back in here for sure. Thanks again Nic

When you were updating and the app was upgrading, did you stop the database upgrade process?

Guten Tag, ich habe immer noch das selber Problem, auch mit Version 8.0.3, das Programm lässt sich nicht mehr abrufen. Einmal die App drucken und dann nach 3-4 Sekunden geht der App aus. Ich habe momentan 9GB frei auf mein Handy. Muss ich vielleicht mehr Platz schaffen? Schließlich sind viele Karten dabei. Mein Sorgen sind die Offline Logs (=Founds) die ich nachtragen muss. Ich wurde gern versuchen, zu de installieren und um neu zu installieren aber die Offline Logs wären dann verloren. Aber wie auch gesagt der Timing ist wirklich schlecht, ist mir passiert wahrend ich Urlaub hatte, und ja bin ich Frustriert Danke für die Zeit

It only seems to happen when using the Apple hybrid map.

I have IPhone 8, iOS 16.7.7 I’ll delete those files up to 1-1-2024. I’ll surely let you know if that makes a difference.

If you do not need the offline images and backups, you can delete those folders using the Files app. Remind me what iPhone you are using?

Hi Nic, Loaded 8.0.3 and I’m not experiencing any new issues. Still have the same reaction with the county maps. FYI… last night when I clicked on the counties/regions button, it displayed the “load data” link, but this morning it was displaying each state and 0 of xx for the counties found. Florida showed 1 of 67 due to my caching activity yesterday. Another discovery… when I go to the files folder/ Cachly/ backups/ there are 541 files or folders in there dating back to 09-27-2018. The blue folders have either 0 items or 1 items listed. They contain deleted offline lists. The “files” on the backup folder appear to be text files of logs posted to caches on that day. There are also 2 zip files that I believe might be backups of the “my finds” file. That backup folder contains 956 MB The 3 biggest folders under Cachly are the already mentioned “backups”, “pending logs backup” 149 MB, and “offline” 1.67 GB that is mostly “images’ (3883) … images that seem to be from me perusing cache photos when investigating for future trips. I was wondering if Cachly is allocated a limited amount of memory, and I may be at the threshold. I don’t know my friend, but when I’m caching with friends and we arrive at the next cache, and my log still hasn’t entered the saved queue…. something is surely wrong.. Incidentally, all my regular caching friends use Cachly… i don’t know why Cachly is saving so many old files and pictures. Perhaps there just isn’t enough space to load the “my finds” file.

Thanks for the suggestion. At this time the geocaching.com API that Cachly uses does not have an option for this.

No, we have no reports of this. What map are you using? Does this happen with other map types?

Thanks. I got the file but have not been able to investigate yet. You will be fine to update to 8.0.3.

I see there is 3.0.8 available now. Should I wait to upgrade till you’ve had a chance to experiment with the “my finds” file?

I sent it to support via email. It was too large to attach here.

Not sure if it’s my device or an issue with cachly. I have been getting a lot of freezing, black screen and then crashing when I have the auto search function selected. I have since turned that function off and it all works fine. Is this a known issue or just something I’m expecting currently.

Feature Request Sorry if this is already possible (I have yet to work it out) or has been suggested but one thing that I often think would be a useful feature. I know about the Exclude My finds button but think the ability to exclude certain cache types would be useful especially as with the explosion of Adventure Labs making the map cluttered (TBH the vast majority of AL locations are nothing more than drain covers/lampposts etc). For me I would like to exclude my adventure find smiles but keep all other find smiles and obviously keep all adventure stages I have yet to do still on the map. Which is something the current Exclude my finds or deselecting Adventure Lab in the types tab can’t do for me.

In 8.0.3 users who previously purchased offline maps can now download and use pro maps without a subscription. This is a policy change, so if you purchased maps previously, and bought a new maps subscription and are not wanting to continue it, please contact me. Although I would encourage users to support through subscriptions as it greatly helps with server costs and allows continued development.

Okay, thanks; now I know. I had wanted to load both so I could view caches on the local map and those for where I would soon visit without having to load and unload maps. It's something I can easily work around, just thought there was an issue to be investigated. Having used the "edit" feature to download multiple adjacent European countries prior to several trips abroad, it didn't occur to me that non-adjacent maps would be an issue.

Sorry for the late response... My geocache GC9AYWG is an example of the problem I encountered. It is the same formatting issue as shown by barefootguru in his comment.

Great suggestion. I will give it some consideration!

I like to identify caches which fill missing grids or criteria so that I can optimise going after a single cache which fulfils multiple grids. Currently I use GSAK to do this and I score and rank caches so that the highest scoring ones are the most desirable e.g a cache can score a point for the following 1) cache name starts with an alphanumeric character which I have not found 2) CO name starts with an alphanumeric name I have not found 3) Fizzy - cache fills a DT rating I don’t have In my curent loop 4) Jasmer - cache fills a month in my current Jasmer loop 5) Old Cache - If the cache is placed more than 20 years ago 6) Type - Wherigo, Virtual and Webcam (or whatever im feeling like) 7) Favourite- 100 or more favourite points (or whatever I’m feeling like) 8) Attributes - one point for each positive or negative attribute I have not found 9) Placed Date - for a day of the month I haven’t found in the current loop Of course this has some complexity but a cache can score a number of points (I think 5 is the best I’ve seen) and If I’m pressed for time (most of the time) I’ll target the highest scoring caches and I know that they are either interesting in some way or at least helping me fill grids. I think at least it would be nice to search for Fizzy and Jazmer grid fillers based on current or configured loop A really useful feature in Cachly is that I highlight the caches in an offline list exported from GSAK with a different colour representing their score (which I write as a user note in the GPX) this method works well but is quickly out of date once I’ve found a few caches which might in turn lower the ranking score as I now have that DT rating I need for example The feature I can imagine is essentially similar to the filters you can build up on an offline list but with a weight / score added and then an overall filter to only show caches with X score or greater

OK, that mostly worked thanks. the pocket queries didn't get a tick beside them, so I had to manually track which ones I'd downloaded. there's more than 16,000 caches so I couldn't update them all… how can I continue the update in 24 hours? I tried a few filters like Date Last Updated, No Logs, and No Waypoints* *Looks like a bug in 8.0.2: with a filter of Has Waypoints = no, Cachly shows caches from all lists, rather than just the one I'm currently in. 'Showing 101,945 of 16,639'

Quicker way. In 8.0 you can download the .zip right into Cachly using the API. Go to Settings > Imports & Pocket Queries, scroll to the bottom and turn off the full data option. Then you can go back to the PQ screen and download them all quickly. Next you can update those offline lists to full cache data if required. Hope this helps.

Is there a way to bulk import GPX files? I have 23 PQs I've downloaded as zip files (because of the bug importing PQs which causes them to hang). I've tried importing from within Cachly, and Sharing from Files, but those methods only import one / the first file. Thanks

Hi, can you let me know what you mean by you can't get into the program? Can you post some screenshots? Thanks!

Can you send me the My Finds GPX that you are importing so I can test? support@cach.ly

If I edit a draft and insert a template which has keywords eg owner name, the keyword is not replaced with the owner's name when I submit the log
