Yeah that was a rough addition to smooth out in geosphere. The confusion was because the PQ data is as-of PQ generation date, whereas if using the API, the caches contained in the PQ are still as of generation but the data itself downloaded from the API is current. That is to say, if you generated a PQ 3 days ago, and new caches are published that weren't there 3 days ago, they won't show in the PQ if you download it (via any method) today - even though you get logs on those older caches that were posted today. It was GS's combining of temporal PQs with current API functions that makes it confusing That was one reason I like the ZIP download - no confusing data, as long as you realize that all the data is only as of the generation date. If you want current data in a PQ, you need to generate the PQ right now, then download it (by zip or api). No way around that in any app. At least until the API allows generating the PQ and downloading it together (or maybe just uses the PQ search parameters to do a current API search and download). But anyway. I haven't used the ZIP pq download for a while. That import ability was good mainly for downloading the My Finds PQ, which as I recall isn't provided by the API - have to generate the PQ then manually download the ZIP from the web and import into the app.

I would personally prefer the current sort order over alpha. It matches what I've been recently doing with those most recently used bookmarks at the top of the Cachly list. Putting them in Alpha wouldn't kill me but it would be less productive for me in how many I have and how I work with them. Just one person's opinion.

Many thanks for the replies. It seems that they will not transfer to the new 'official' app either. I can understand technically why, if not logically. I'll just have to bring forward my planned visit to North Wales! Cheers.

Just a follow up on my questions and your replies. Went for a caching test drive today with another cacher and we both used Cachly all day and loved it. Outdoors I think the screen was much easier to read. Maybe because I wasn't holding the phone so close to my face. The directional arrow took some getting used to but I eventually got the hang of it. We really had it down after a couple of caches and only have good things to say about our experience. Keep up the good work!
