    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.

    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.

    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 the friends section of Cachly, there is a search bar to search for username.

    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.

    Yeah, they don't provide a way to do this for third-party apps.

    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.

    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.

  20. Mark waypoints in Cachly as “done”

    I would still be very happy if there were a way to mark multi-waypoints as visited, even if it's only possible in offline lists.

    I'm currently using a different GPS waypoint app, which is very cumbersome. Is this feature still considered for for one of the next releases?

    Yes, still considered and the API now has this added so it could be used for live caches and sync with other apps.
