    But there are diffent kinds of color blindness. Symbols would even much better ;-)

    But all in all. Its a great app. Thank you so much for your work.

    Thank you for bringing this up. In iOS 10 Apple provides a way for users with color blindness to fix the color problems. Please see:

    Let me know if this helps with Cachly. :)

  2. This will be all fixed in Cachly 2.1. There are major performance updates and we have tested an offline list with 50k caches that loads in 2 seconds.

    You are looking at Clustering in V2.1, is that because of this reason? Will it speed things up. 

    Yes, clustering will be used when an offline list is a certain size, but will not be used if under that threshold. This will be a user definable setting.

  3. Can you give me some coordinates for where this location is? Just tap on the current location indicator and it will tell you the coordinates.

    Also, have you made sure to tap reset in Search Options so that you are sure none are being used?

    ** Note: geocaching.com has been having server issues for the past 2 days, so it might be this issue causing the problem.

    Hello

    I can't find this feature in the latest release (2.0.3), is it still in your feature lists ?

    BTW, your app is really great :)

    Bulk upload feature is coming in Cachly 2.1. You can currently export in bulk a .txt file for upload to geocaching.com or GSAK.

  5. Cachly supports background downloading of offline maps. However sometimes iOS will pause a download and there will be missing data when it is resumed. Try downloading it again keeping your phone from locking and it should work.

  6. Cachly is a third-part geocaching.com app and is therefore also bound by the terms and restrictions of the API that geocaching.com provides. This sadly means that they limit what Regular users see, e.g. only Traditional caches, limited searching, etc.

    To be clear, this is NOT a limitation of Cachly, but a limitation of the geocahing.com API for Regular users.

    ** Note: The Classic app used a modified API that we don't have access to.

    I wish there was a way to provide a better experience for Regular users.

  7. We don't force your phone to stay awake since as you mentioned, there is an iOS setting for this. 

    If we forced the phone not to sleep, user might leave Cachly open expecting iOS to sleep their phone at the chosen interval, but instead it would just waste their battery keeping the screen on.

    However, adding this feature to the Navigate screen might be beneficial since this is likely the screen that users would be using a lot.

    Or maybe it's less the display area then # of map points/caches.

    This is key. It is the amount of caches/pins on the map, and doesn't really matter the map span.

    Of course if there was 1 solution that covered all, no worries.

    Clustering should solve this, as it can be turned on and off based on what zoom level the user is at, which should solve pretty much all the problems, including memory.

    For me, I'd say a 25x25 square mile area is probably the absolute biggest I'd look at on a cachly screen. Maybe others have a *need* to see all of a country like in the video but I definitely don't. I don't see myself needing to see an entire US state at one time. But if there is a need or a viable solution could allow for it, then great. If not, maybe a smaller coverage area should be the target to come up with the best solution

    I think regardless of the viewing size, if it is a full country, state or even just a city that the solution I posted proves to be interesting, but not practical. It was fun to build, but as much as I would like to be able to implement a simple solution like this, I can see how it won't work.
