We are hoping to include CarPlay support in 8.1.

Another voice in support of the developer. I paid for the cachly app early on (2017). I paid for map downloads (2019). I received tremendous value in return for those purchases of relatively trivial amounts. I've actually been wondering how Nic can continue his excellent support of this app which I use daily, without additional revenue. So I welcome being able to help via the new subscription. The $15/year pro subscription is a no-brainer in my mind, even though I won't be using some of the included features. The $5/year map subscription is even more of a value. I love what cachly helps me do and want it to continue!

I wonder if support for Apple Carplay is in the works for Cachly.

FEATURE REQUEST: Add a small semi-transparent compass to top corner of map screen when navigating to a cache or waypoint. We have discussed this before ... see "Looking4Cache" method - preferably, like L4C, the compass would be user selectable: 1. show or hide 2. small or larger 3. adjust level of transparency

Thanks for the suggestion, we will look at add this in a future version.

Cachly v.8.0 reminds me of Lieutenant Columbo’s wife I'm really looking forward to 8.0.

Cachly already uses OAuth 2.0 in 7.x and we will be adding the PKCE requirement in an upcoming 7.x fix and in 8.0. So, not to worry!

This is a bug in the geocaching.com API that I am working with them to fix. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yes, this has been added in our 8.0 version which is in development.

That would be a nice enhancement.

Thanks again, for everything. I really appreciate all you do. It is a sort of rare thing when a developer really addresses players concerns, and I know the community really appreciates it as well.

Thank you so much for the speedy response Nic! That seems to have done the job - Documents & Data are down to 4.8 (Offline Maps are 1.3) for an overall size of 5.24. I am hoping to get out this afternoon after work and give it a try in the field and see if it behaves itself (since it was during my usage in the field on Saturday that the strange increasing storage phenomenon occurred).

This has been fixed for 8.0.2.

No worries. There are some bugs that have arisen that we didn't catch in development, but I am working hard to get these fixed in 8.0.2.

I’ve never noticed that but I just tried and sure enough when I highlighted on my iPad, Cachly almost immediately crashed on my iPhone.

Hi @BassXX. I am sorry that you feel cheated about the new subscription model. As others said, it was done out of necessity because Cachly was losing money on the great cost of offline maps and the pay once model was not paying for the infrastructure costs. Shoot me off an email at support@cach.ly and we will make it right. Hope you have a good day.

On March 18, this was posted to Facebook, far and away the most active place for discussing Cachly - https://www.facebook.com/share/p/v9i5QJRPvmtyCrRN/?mibextid=K35XfP Betrayed? It is $5!! You didn’t get $5 worth of value since you purchased? I’m not sure where you are located and how things work in your region but I could get a new iphone from my cell carrier if I switched to their service now but I can’t, as an existing customer for 15 years of loyal service paying $200/mo get anything free. $2500/ year * 15 years = $37k paid and I don’t get anything yet someone new that paid them nothing gets a free phone . Hmmmm . The developer worked on this release for 2 years to add all the new features. During those 2 years it cost him tens of thousands of dollars in keeping the maps updated and the fees to allow the downloads you enjoyed. We are talking about $5 as your cost per year to try and help make it less of a burden on the developer who does this for us to have the best app to use in this hobby you probably spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars on a year. It’s really absurd we are even having this discussion.

Here's a screenshot of it in action. Long press the coordinates near the top of the page and it will offer the 3 options.

Thank you for the answers. I’d already found it after about an hour of going around in circles. It wasn’t very prominent. I couldn’t retract my question due to awaiting registration completion.

I'm not sure why the one backup listed is 21MB and the Usage is reporting 2GB. It is ok to delete the backups.

The website just downloads a .zip file. Cachly downloads full cache data. In 8.0 downloading the .zip will be an option.

My plan is to submit to Apple this month.

Hi. Thank you very much for the quick explanation.

I can mark it as SOLVED. I reall don't have any clue, how's it possible, but the original Cachly folder with 2 subfolders Photos and Photos 2 was really deleted. Even though I manually created a Cachly folder and a Photos subfolder, adding a photo to a private note didn't work. Only when I restored the completely mysteriously deleted original folder created by the app and all the files in it in iCloud, adding a photo works again. I'm not a lame when it comes to iCloud and the whole Apple ecosystem as well as the digital world and life, but I really can't explain this in any way. Simply "X-Files." Conclusion: a) problem solved b) thank you for your efforts and willingness to help.

That is awesome. Thanks so much

This is fixed for our upcoming 8.0 version. Here is what it looks like:

I wish version 8.0 or 8.1 fixed the disappearance of photos from caches saved offline. After updating these caches, the photos disappear and only gray placeholders remain in their places

Really can't say at this point. Hoping to announce a date soon.

I could implement this in offline lists but not in live caches as the public API lacks the methods for setting a "isUserCompleted" property on a waypoint. Only the official app has this as they use their own API. Would it be sufficient to you to only be able to check them in an offline list for the time being?

Thx, this app is great, and using keywords is very easy, I was able to easily create my templates in less than 2 minutes.

The Mapy.cz navigation & maps on the App Store (apple.com) is a free application that offers tourist navigation using paths and trails. Though it has suffix CZ (Czech) it offers maps from all over the world. It would be great if I could have this app among the options to choose from the navigation apps (Waze, Maps,...). The integration could be quite simple using URI with coordinates in it, e.g. https://en.mapy.cz/turisticka?q=45.8829264N%2C122.8394261W.

This is a geocaching.com API error which has been reported to them. Hoping it will get fixed soon.

Yes. When you are entering a log (or create a text template) you can insert keywords. Just tap the ... button:

I’d like to log for my family at once. Maybe similar to Looking4Cache: logging into the app with multiple accounts at the same time, and choosing which ones are “on” by default. The use case: logging for children that have their own accounts but can’t log themselves yet.

This is actually a feature of 8.0 where you will be able to tap a download button in Cachly and the Wherigo app will open and then download that cartridge.

Hello, this would be fairly easy I guess. Please, allow the app to be installed via App store on a M(1,2,3,...) Mac machines. That would make my planning so much more comfortable :-) Thank you!

Yes, this is possible. We add this to our feature list for consideration.

That second forum link is EXACTLY the problem I am having... thank you for sharing this and letting me know it is a Groundspeak issue rather than a Cachly issue!

@Nic Hubbard Is good to add a cachly widget with various sizes on front page like as geocaching widget to shows where is neighbors geocaches . thanks

@Nic Hubbard make this happened

I have considered this, but don't yet have it planned.

So I adjusted my full cache data to 50 and now I'm not getting that error. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Wow! It works, I didn't know this possibility, thanks.

Thanks. This will be fixed in our next release.

I have tested and can replicate this as well. Sadly this is Dropbox crashing, not Cachly, so I have no way to investigate it. My guess is they changed something in their newest update. In Cachly 8.0 we no longer use the Dropbox app but use the Files app instead to access Dropbox files. Until then, I would start in the Dropbox app then choose to share with Cachly.

There’s some challenges here which are collecting caches found in different degrees of latitude/longitude. Would be handy if there was a filter to search an offline list for that, e.g. latitude S39 01.xxx, S39 02.xxx (the filter for multis/mysteries should work on the posted coords, not the corrected).

Hello, just wondering if there would be any possibility for cachly or navigation to a cache to be able to be connected to the Apple CarPlay I asked on Facebook page also and a couple of others like the thought of it too. Would it be at all possible? Thanks in advance for your time and considerations regards Maattmoo

Would love to see Cachly support CarPlay. While I usually tell Cachly to use Apple Maps to navigate, it would be great to also be able to show the Cachly map with caches directly on the car's screen. Would be useful when gathering a number of caches in an area, rather than setting up Apple Maps to navigate to each one; and also when there's no cellular reception.

When viewing a Live or Offline list, a mileage indicator is shown. Is there a way to provide a compass, which indicates both bearing and mileage from current location to the cache location? I have attached the screenshots of Looking4cache. This feature is quite useful. Thanks.
