I have downloaded the app and it asks for login and password but does not allow me to set up password and login. Is there another app tied to this app. I have never done cashe before and have grandsons coming this summer. Janette@ronan.net

Yes, you will need to create a user account on geocaching.com, they are the service and website that the entire game of Geocaching is tied to. Once you have created an account you can use Cachly to login. Hope that helps!

Yes, you can zoom into photos if that photo is larger than your phone screen. So if there is a photo that isn't, you won't be able to zoom in any more. We will work to fix that so you can zoom into any photo.

Without fail on my iPhone 6s, but it does not occur on my iPad Air. Strange.

I will test it on a few more devices and see if I can replicate it.

Thanks!

Hi there. I have just downloaded the latest update of the app. Firstly thank you for adding Maps.me support, but I have also experienced problem with the app. After pressing More button app always crashes. Could you please fix that? Thanks!

We never experienced this in testing and I can't replicate it. If you delete Cachly and reinstall, does that fix the issue?

I did indeed update to version 1.1 as soon as it became available. I find that pinching in/out a minute amount does not knock the map out of heading follow mode, however if I pinch in/out rapidly and around 40% of the screen diameter resets the setting.

Strange. I was just trying to replicate this and I can't. Can you replicate this reliably?

Each time I pinch zoom in/out and/or change to a new cache, I have to go through this process to re-enable the "heading follow" mode. I did not see an option in settings to set the default navigation mode, which is the "missing" feature I was referring to. To illustrate, I have attached a labeled screen shot for reference.

The issue where it gets reset when pinching in/out was fixed in 1.1. Have you upgraded to that version?

As for setting a mode as a default, there isn't currently a way to do this. But, just a though that I could build it so that if you long press on a mode it would "lock" that mode. what do you think?

Yes, this is something that is planned an on the feature list. Hope to get it added very soon!

The lock icon simply locks manual map rotation. The map will rotate automatically when in the heading follow mode, but you won't be able to rotate it manually until it is unlocked.

Does that clear things up?

I prefer to double tap the arrow so the map follows me as I navigate, and was hoping the lock would restore this function, as this is  only feature that I miss from the original geocaching app.

Can you explain this more? What feature is missing?

I found out how to fix my problem with Km/miles problem. But still question the "hidden by" feature. That is a big issue for me.

To search using "hidden by", tap the gear icon which is inside of the search bar. This will show you all of the search options. If you had already found this and it still isn't working, what isn't working? Was there an error?

Thanks Laura, we will continue to work on it and hopefully have it out very soon.

Currently there isn't a way to do this, but it is on our list for a future version. Will bump up the priority. Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion. I think this would be a great feature, and I will get it added to our feature list. Thanks!

I had the same problem over the weekend. 1000 caches saved to offline and it freezes and crashes. I turned off circle radius and everything worked normal after that.

 

Using iPhone 6s+

Looks like cache radius on a large number of caches cause an issue. Looking into it.

Yes, it does seem to load slow, which is strange. I will look into what is going on.

Also, will look into caching tiles like you mentioned.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

You are in luck. All of these features are already available. 

What you are looking for is Search Options. These can be accessed by tapping the gear icon that is inside of the search bar. That will give you a plethora of search options including hide my finds and choosing what cache type to search for.

This is currently in the works. Many of the features are intuitive, but because there are so many features we want to provide a help manual as well for that. When ready, it will be available under the More tab.

Cachly has a very small development team. So at this point, in order to support our current users and push forward in development we need to focus on iOS. Trying to focus on both platforms at this point would stifle innovation on our part. Sorry about that, I hope we can support Android in the future!

Glad you are enjoying using it!

To turn this feature on, go to the More tab, then to Settings and turn on the "Cache Radius" option.

There currently isn't a way to show map scale, but it is on the feature list. Hope to get it added soon.

No problem. When you are on a map view, tap the current location button on the bottom right of the map. It looks like an arrow and has a white background. Tapping that again will take you through the different follow modes, the last being "follow with heading".

Let me know if this works for you.

Could you email me the .gpx file for this PQ?

You mentioned the cache radius feature is enabled, and I have a feeling you are running out of memory. Basically, you are loading 1000 map annotations (caches) onto the map, as well as drawing an overlay (circle radius) around many of those caches. That is quite a lot of memory for iOS and it likely maxes out and the app gets killed. But, I can test it more when I see the file.

Thanks. I will reopen that issue and do some more digging. 

Thank you for fixing this so quickly.  Now looks fine.

Glad to hear it. Thanks for reporting!

Thanks Keith for reporting this, and thanks for the GC code. I will look into getting this fixed.

One other thing I noticed is an issue about offline usage. I downloaded a section of caches for an area with very weak cellular signal. Once I was out in that area I opened the downloaded section of caches from the offline lists section of the app and found that it was taking quite a while to load caches. When I turned my cellular data off (I still had a very weak signal) on my device it suddenly sped up. Apparently, even if you are using an offline list the app still tries to load the caches from the server over the celluar network and not locally. I’m not sure it this is intentional, but it would be nice if loading caches from an offline list, it defaulted to loading them locally and not from the sever. Also, I was sure I downloaded the map tiles as well, but I was not able to get them to show up offline. I noticed only one map is available to download locally (opencycle I believe), so it would be helpful if when loading a list of saved offline caches it defaulted to this map (since it is the only one that could be available offline anyways).

You devs are the best! Thanks so much for being so open to suggestions from users. It’s really the best.

When opening an offline list while still online, it won't make any requests to the server, it will load those caches locally. However, it will try to load maps while you are still online.

Offline map downloading should work, just make sure to download the adequate zoom level so you will have enough resolution when offline. We are working on a simplified offline map downloader were you won't have to worry about zoom levels or map type.
