Hi Chris, currently you are able to refresh individual caches by pulling down in the cache details screen. But we will be adding a new feature in the future where you can refresh an entire list. Stay tuned.

We are looking into the issue to see if there is a problem on our end, and will get it fixed if there is.

Hello!

I have got the same problem. I downloaded the Cachly-apps in to my iPhone 6S. (iOs 9.3.3). When I try to log in with Facebook (as always) and I give my FB-password it asks who can see my posts. I answered that my family. After that it doesn´t go forward because there is no buttons NOT NOW / OK. I have turned off my phone many times and I have canceled the Apps and loaded again. Nothing works. What is wrong?

Can you try creating a geocaching.com account instead of using Facebook? It seems there might be some issues with geocaching.com and Facebook that is affecting Cachly.

So, basically you are wanting to copy a cache to another offline list?

Thanks for the suggestion. Will get this added.

Additional question: Am I right that you cannot see personal notes in the app, only update them.

No, you can see them. Just tap the ... button and go to "Add Cache Note". If there is already one it will say "Update Cache Note".

Yes, this is on our feature list and we plan to implement it. However there are many other important features that we are working on implementing first, but markdown will for sure be coming.

Thanks Chris. The map callout has been redesigned and we are going to be implementing this design very soon. It will include distance, as well as favorites, trackables, etc.

For the navigate map, I think this would make a nice Setting that could be turned on and off. Will add it to our feature list!

This is something that has been fixed in Cachly 1.1.6, which will be out this week. Stay tuned!

Let me know if you have any additional questions!

1) how to manage bookmarks

2) how to search cache/personal notes

3) Field notes are saved in the log. I expected it to be personal

4) how to save a log as pending

1. Unfortunately the geocaching API only allows us to add caches to a Bookmark list, but not to delete them. I hope they will add this sometime in the future so that third-party apps like Cachly can use it!

2. This isn't currently possible. Do you mean search for only caches with personal notes?

3. Not sure what you mean. Can you explain this?

4. Just go to the Log this Cache screen and then turn the "Send Log Now" option off. This will allow you to save that log as a pending log.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for reporting these. I have added these both to our bug tracker and will get them fixed. Thanks!

in Australia....thought with the time/date selection option it might circumvent the GC.com issue with their 'US-centric' view on caching! haha. I also just thought it was weird the caches logged the day behind, but the TB visits didn't....

It is weird that TB don't have the issue. I have talked with the geocaching.com developers quite a few times about this issue, but they say there isn't a fix for it.

What time zone are you in? geocaching.com converts all dates to Pacific Time, and this is not something that we can change or have control over.

having this issue too. sometimes when getting out of the car, but sometimes when just walking to GZ....

This is something we have fixed in the upcoming version of Cachly. You won't get the calibration screen anymore.

Yes, I just checked their status.geocaching.com page and it does show about a 2 hour outage which was likely the cause of your issues.

Can you let me know what other "hiccups" you were having so that I can address those? Thanks!

Hi Nic

Yes I can do it every time. The TBs we have are our own coins which we have for this year and like to visit them to every cache for mileage.

We write up the log then just ask for all TBs to be visited. Then we send the log. It goes through the process then goes back to the log screen as if nothing has happened. Which is where previously I have made errors and when I have gone on the web site and found that I have double logged caches.

Would it be at all possible for me to test one of two of your coins, but using the geocaching.com staging server? This is the test server we use, and nothing from it goes Live, even if I logged some visits to your tracakable. If you are interested, please contact me through the support option in the app. Thank you!

I have been trying to reproduce this issue for a long time, and so far it has been very hard. Could you let me know if you can reproduce it every time? Is there anything particular about the trackables such as having images, or anything else? Thanks guys!

I'll post here since my question also seems to involve a waypoint issue on an imported GPX. I downloaded a gpx from opencaching.us and imported via dropbox. This is a puzzle cache so I need to add the final coords myself. When I pull up waypoints it shows that there are none, but the little plus sign i need to hit to enter my own waypoint is not there, so I can't enter the final coords.

Could you send me the GPX file so I could take a look? Email support at cach.ly. Thanks!

Would it be possible to have a visit all button for trackables. At the moment I think I have to go into each one and say either visit or drop. It would be nice if it could be set to automatically visit all the trackables in my possession.

Thanks

Yes, when you are logging a cache and adding trackables, just tap the ... button on the to right of the adding trackables section, and you will be able to change the log type for all of them. 

Sure, this feature is part of Cachly. Go to the More tab, then to Settings. There you will see some different log defaults, one of which is "Log Text". This is the default log text that will get added. 

Hope this helps!

Cachly uses MapQuest tiles when downloading offline maps, but we just got the word that they will be shutting this service down on July 11. They are moving to a paid model, but we still do not know the specifics of pricing for the kind of download numbers that Cachly will require.

Haha. no that I tried to repeat it to get the steps how it occurs, I couldn't. I bet there is something I do differently with Cachly when I am in outdoors that affects the case, because it repeats very often while caching out there, but not now back home. Well, next time I happen to see the bug, I will write down the steps to repeat it and post them here.

Thanks, yeah I have personally replicated it while in the field, but never when at my computer, which is where I need to replicate it. I have a feeling it has to do with specific trackables that have specific attributes.

Further to this topic (as I couldn't create a new one)

 

I think this thread, and the one requesting consolidation of lists are both good ideas. I have only recently started using cachly and it is by far superior to the official apps.

 

I'd like to see some expansion to the options available with offline lists.

 

    (a) The ability to set up "groups". With the ability to manually add caches, as well as import GPX files and pocket queries into these groups.

 

    ( Import gpx/PQ into said groups.

 

I currently run 12 PQ that cover all caches in Western Australia. They are setup by date order so the first 11 I update every so often, and the 12th I update daily (to pick up new publishings). Each morning, I update that PQ into my existing Geocaching app. This way, I have all caches on my phone in an offline state. And can basically cache anywhere at anytime without too much prep.

 

Also, It would be great to have a waypoint averaging ability and the function of manually adding a geocache to a list. This would be a great tool for placing geocaches (along with the 161m radius)

As for not being able to create a new topic. Did you get the email from the forums and follow the link to activate your account?

For Cachly groups, this is what Offline Lists are for. You can create them, manually add caches to them. But, like you said importing and adding PQ's to these groups would be a great feature. I will get that added to our feature list.

To manually add add a cache to a list, go to the cache details, then tap the ... button and choose the option to add to an offline list.

Not sure if this thread has been followed up or not. I just tried importing the GCA file (in both ZIP and GPX format) via dropbox link.

It crashed both times.

Yes, Louise and I worked for a long time getting GCA imports working. But there is still more work to do.

I just got your crash logs. Could you email me the files so that I can take a look?
