  1. Having trouble getting my head around offline maps, plus I suspect there's a bug where some tiles aren't displayed at some zoom levels… but questions for now: which provider is used for offline maps? OSM? how does Cachly decide to download the Standard or Satellite maps? what zoom levels are downloaded? is there a way to view/delete the batches of map downloads? in normal operation, how much caching does Cachly do of tiles when online? i.e. what's the chance of it remembering tiles I've looked at if I lose reception, or saving cellular data. Thanks for your time.
  2. True, you'd be seeing stale information without knowing it. Thanks anyway
  3. Hi, if I save a cache to an offline list, then use a different path to view said cache (so random viewing of map instead of via that list), Cachly seems to only try for online info about the cache, and won't use what's cached? Would save having to follow exact steps if Cachly could fall back to pre-saved info.
  4. You could always use iOS text shortcuts for the same thing… though of course they'd be active for all apps.
  5. More a statement than question I've been so frustrated with the official app… it's incredibly buggy & crashy, feature deficient, has an atrocious interface, snail's pace development, and Groundspeak are ignoring feedback. But I've been persisting because it's the offical app… I've been trying Cachly the last few days… very impressed. App has lovely interface & is refreshingly easy to use, is 'deep', and every forum post has been diligently responded to. The (GS enforced) limitation of 50 caches is my biggest concern, but looking forward to version 2 of the app which makes this less onerous; and still getting my head around offline support.
  6. Not sure if q or feature request: looks like Cachly doesn't display a 'corrected coordinates' diamond on the map pin for found/smiley caches? In which case, would be good if it could
  7. Hi, I rarely use the Logs and Trackable buttons, yet often use Bookmarks and will probably get into Offline Lists — which require going through … Wondering about an option to define your own set of navigation buttons at the bottom of the main screen?
  8. In the help pages, Cache Map Pins, the last word is spelled incorrectly as coordiante.
  9. Hi, getting aquainted with Cachly. Overall a nice app When viewing a log entry, it seems the entire left border is a tap area which takes you to the user who wrote the entry, and I often find myself being unexpectedly taken to the user's page. I think it would be better, and make more sense, if only the user avatar drilled down to the user.
  10. I'll have a play; and look forward to live updating. Thanks for the quick, helpful, replies Nic.
  11. Umm… that sounds like a pain and an offline list would become outdated? What's the usual/recommended approach to moving around the map and seeing caches? (Pretty bummed about this… the official app is bug ridden, feature deficient, and has the nastiest interface I've seen in a long time; and GS is restricting what 3rd parties can do.)
  12. Thanks for the quick reply. Yep, I see by moving around I get an ellipsis in the refresh arrow. Can I just load all caches? Once the caches are loaded will the app remember them forever? Ah, the app's showing me PQs ready for download. I've found my other Geocaching.com lists under Bookmarks :]
  13. Hi, just downloaded Cachly. Have signed in with usual username fine, but am only seeing about 50 caches on the map, and 1 of my multiple lists. Have tried spinning arrow refresh on Caches page, and pulling down on Queries page. Cachly 1.1.7 (1), iOS 9.3.5, both iPhone and iPad, premium user.
