I like to identify caches which fill missing grids or criteria so that I can optimise going after a single cache which fulfils multiple grids. Currently I use GSAK to do this and I score and rank caches so that the highest scoring ones are the most desirable e.g a cache can score a point for the following
1) cache name starts with an alphanumeric character which I have not found
2) CO name starts with an alphanumeric name I have not found
3) Fizzy - cache fills a DT rating I don’t have In my curent loop
4) Jasmer - cache fills a month in my current Jasmer loop
5) Old Cache - If the cache is placed more than 20 years ago
6) Type - Wherigo, Virtual and Webcam (or whatever im feeling like)
7) Favourite- 100 or more favourite points (or whatever I’m feeling like)
8) Attributes - one point for each positive or negative attribute I have not found
9) Placed Date - for a day of the month I haven’t found in the current loop
Of course this has some complexity but a cache can score a number of points (I think 5 is the best I’ve seen) and If I’m pressed for time (most of the time) I’ll target the highest scoring caches and I know that they are either interesting in some way or at least helping me fill grids.
I think at least it would be nice to search for Fizzy and Jazmer grid fillers based on current or configured loop 
A really useful feature in Cachly is that I highlight the caches in an offline list exported from GSAK with a different colour representing their score (which I write as a user note in the GPX) this method works well but is quickly out of date once I’ve found a few caches which might in turn lower the ranking score as I now have that DT rating I need for example
The feature I can imagine is essentially similar to the filters you can build up on an offline list but with a weight / score added and then an overall filter to only show caches with X score or greater
 

For Live searching this isn't possible as the geocaching.com API does not support this.
For offline lists, we do have this feature! When adding an attribute filter just tap the attribute again to change it to a "not" filter.
Hope this helps.

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

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. 

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.

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.

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.

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! 

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. 

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

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

My plan is to submit to Apple this month.

Hi. Thank you very much for the quick explanation. 

We are hoping to include CarPlay support in 8.1.

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.

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

No, it does not currently. I have played around with this, but don't really have plans to release it for Mac at this time.

You can now vote for feature requests. This will help us to know how popular suggested features might be. Please vote!

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

That is awesome. Thanks so much

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