Maybe it's more a question than a "feature request"... Not always but often I need glasses to use my iPhone. A few days ago when I was in the field, I realized that the readability of the Cachly interface is not optimal. Small gray text on a gray background is a killer. Why not making the important text black? Why not making it a little more bolder? Why not making the font size bigger when there is a lot of empty room (e.g. coordinates/distance)? I know Cachly has a nice look but compared with other apps not a good readability.

I do love the Cachly app but one thing I think it needs (and is available on other third party apps) is LIVE updating maps, I want to be able to get in my car at the start of my journey and as I pass caches on my route they update and appear live onto my map without me pressing or doing anything. There is a LIVE button on the maps in Looking For Cache app which is the exact feature, it loads as I move- this would be a killer feature and bean I can delete L4C. If this feature is available, I can't find it :-)

A friend and I were having a caching day yesterday, and during a lunch break we were looking for our next set of caches to find. I mentioned how nice it would be if when you tapped on a cache, the initial pop-up that has the cache name, size, type, distance D/T, TBs, and favorites also showed the colored dots of the last 5 finds. It seems like there would be room for that in that initial window and it would eliminate the need to tap into the cache for additional details. This would make it much quicker to get a quick idea of which caches in the are findable and which might be more problematic. My friend said he was just having the exact same thought. As always, love the app.

25 loads faster than 50 over a slow connection and often the nearest 20 will keep me busy for a while. No point loading caches I may never get to. It's easy to ask for the next 25 if I'm not happy. It's about startup delays too if auto load nearby caches is on. Also once the option to do a full load on Live caches is present the delay in loading 50 will increase b

Just another thought- when I download a cache into my offline list it would be nice to be able to select what info I want to be available offline- at there moment I have LITE or FULL. LITE is not really enough info but FULL takes a while to download. It would be nice to be able to select LITE BUT with Hints. Or LITE with Hints and logs. Maybe a tick box option of the sections you actually want downloaded. A lot of the time I just want the location and the hint but it would be cool to be able to select what info to put offline. Thanks.

Downloaded Cachly a few days before Ver 2 came out. I'm a GeoSphere user. So here are a couple ideas for you to kick around :-) Just listened to you on the Geocaching Podcast. Great job btw. Friends list: This is a c:geo thing I believe. When you view a cache, you can also see if any of your friends have found the cache. The friends list comes from "Your Friends" list on geocaching.com. A older version of GeoSphere would show your log(if you loaded a cache you found) and the logs of your friends. Field note templates: GeoSphere lets you create FN templates so when you log a field note you don't have to type the same thing over. This is great for when you are caching with someone you can already have this part in your log. Also great for copy & paste logs on power trails. GeoSphere also lets you add local date/time and find count to your log. I always 'sign' my geonick and where I am from on all my logs. Thanks for your hard work and listening to your users of your app!! I hope to learn more about cachly as I get more time to cache! David(aka Shilo)

I very much like the idea behind this as I too have wished I could quickly find a cache in the list that I see on the map. However my only thought it how I also like to scroll through list view and leave it at a certain place, then browse the map and return to list. If it had been scrolled for each cache I tapped I would be really confused as a user. So, I think there would need to be a user setting to turn this on.

A little off topic, but I guess there are a lot of "refugees" using Cachly! Great to see an active developer again

The traditional icons/color are a bit more obvious/natural then the pure color ones but I use it as a glancing reference. I'm ok with either but if I needed to vote, I'd select the traditional site ones - yellow smile, blue frown, etc.

Having to guess/remember the meaning of dot color is not great to my mind. I screen captured Looking4Cache app and blended their use of icons with a Cachly screen cap. The result shows that the more mnemonic icon circles they use ought to take no more real estate than is currently used. A blue frownie, yellow smiley, etc then are like the map view.
