I had mentioned this behavior in http://www.cach.ly/support/index.php?/topic/108-a-couple-of-suggestions/#comment-330 in suggestion/request #1. I think it's been added to the list but bumped for more meaningful enhancements.
 
 

You are using the beta.

What you noted and were told was my assumption too. There was a thread I'm sure I can find where someone claimed they were told by a GC developer that it required updating/data migration, etc which didn't make sense.

So if they properly store it as UTC, then they need to add in a view of the data using either browser/device timezone or a new account setting for timezone which just effects the display. The underlying data remains UTC. 

And should GC "fix" it, the info displayed for Geosphere generated logs and whoever else manipulated the log data will likely be out of whack. 

You findings match the analysis in the threads I've reviewed in the Geocaching forums.  I also had a pretty rough discussion in one of the threads where others, not in the know, claim it must be a HUGE issue because GC hasn't done anything to fix it. They claim it requires updating all data, etc. I completely disagree based on way too many years of implementing technology solutions and I expect there are multiple ways to address the situation. 

Instead of addressing a real issue like this, they focus on changing the icons. Go figure. 

I would do the same as Nic or if it was a real issue for users, make it an option they could enable with a HUGE disclaimer on the potential problem that would occur if GC ever does it properly. 

There have been very long threads on the GC forums about this. Because I'm only 3 hours different from the timezone GC uses, and I don't normally cache at night let alone the wee hours of the next day, it doesn't impact me. Even so, I followed along on the discussions. 

What I can guess from all the info is that the API expects time passed to it in UTC/GMT but for some reason, the GC processing switches it to PT (Pacific Time) which means if you are logging on a different day, from the PT day, it shows as a different day it was logged. If you were in London which is currently 8 hours ahead of PT, you'd want to advance the time of the log by 8 hours so it showed as London's day vs GC's day or log after 8am London time and it would show the same day.
If I have the info accurate, I can understand Cachly's reluctance to purposely code against a really poor implementation that GC decided to go with and use that assumption to timestamp logs.

I have posted in the GC forum threads that it seems head scratching to me why GC refuses to just store logs as GMT, if they aren't already, and show date/time to be user specific based on time zone. I don't see any reason, and they have never responded in public, why they "fix" this behavior. 

The map files are now rather small for each state so it looks like for you the combined offline maps for Ohio, Kentucky & Indiana would be under 150mb and a one time (or at least very infrequent) download.  

I live on a state border and have NJ, NY, PA, CT loaded and if I travel I download the state I'll be in or cross through.  Works well enough for me.

Ah - never noticed there were entries in the list that weren't individual states! Glad I posted my screenshot and got the info!

In your case you could also download the "US Northeast" map which includes multiple states including NY and NJ.

Cachly updates like any iPhone app. On your phone and usually on your phone's first screen of icons is a blue icon labeled App Store. Click the App Store icon and once opened click Updates in the bottom right of the screen. 
If you are configured to auto update, there are probably no apps showing that need to be updated as your phone does it for you behinds the scenes. If you are set to manual updates, each app will have an Update button listed and you just click Update for each app.
You might have already been updated to the latest version depending on your phone settings.
I hope that helps.

A broad question but if you are asking about how to upload a picture with your log submission...
When you are in the screen where you type the log entry, there's a + in dashed box in the bottom left. If you click that + you can either attach a picture you've already taken from your phone's photo library or you can take a new picture.

Is that what you are looking for?

That is your iPhone suggesting an application to use based on multiple factors such as location, time of day and frequently used application. It's an iPhone feature and nothing specific to Cachly. You can disable the iPhone from suggesting an application on the lock screen if it annoys you - Google iPhone lock screen suggested app

This is available in the upcoming 2.0 release of the app. I can click on a cachers name and it shows a page with Finds, Hides, logs, etc. When you click the cacher's hides it brings up a map page or list of their hides, but I expect not any archived hides. I see all the cachers active hides on the map with smileys if I found or the appropriate non-found icon you see today. 

So I think you'll see more details in 2.0 but I don't know if it would have helped if you are trying to find that possible missing archived cache. Maybe someone else has another suggestion/approach.

The rule at GC.com is a puzzle cache final coords must be within 2 miles of the original posted coords - https://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#mystery . I'd suspect it would be a very edge case that the coords are on the fringe of the 50 caches loaded and then a simple reload of more caches would catch it. Is that accurate or am I not understanding the concern? 

It worked today when I posted a Found followed by Needs Maintenance using the beta app.

I'm a newer purchaser and haven't yet put the app through many days of use but I really enjoy what it offers. The main reason I looked for an app was the display of solved puzzle caches in the gc.com free app didn't show with corrected coords which made it useless to use the map page in locating solved caches.
 
In my initial use finding just a couple of caches, I've noticed 2 items for consideration
 
1) When launching a cache on geocaching.com (... -> View on geoaching.com) , Cachly currently launches in an internal browser. Each time it launches, you need to log in, assuming you want to do something as an authenticated user. Is it possibly to launch an external browser (I use Chrome) as it would remember me as a logged in user. Or maybe if using the internal browser that it persist the necessary gc.com cookie?
 
2) The photos feature on a cache is great but unlike similar links to Hint, Trackables, etc if there are no Photos, the link is active and you click to see there are no photos to display. Can the app detect there are no photos and disable the option to click through like with no hint, no trackables, etc?
 
As a side note unrelated to the app, the forums here seem to no longer show replies/views for any posts started in late July. You can see this on http://www.cach.ly/support/index.php?/forum/3-feature-requests/looking at the top posts in the forum where it shows 0/0 for replied and views. 
 
Many thanks!
