Thanks for taking a look.
Screenshots attached.
- IMG_4325: showing 0 images in Cachly — and 139,000 offline caches
- IMG_4326: the initial destination list when downloading a PQ, showing 0 against all the lists
- IMG_4327: you can see the counts have now populated
- IMG_4328: confirming Download Images is turned off
- IMG_4329 & 4330: showing images are/have downloaded
Still happening under Cachly 8.2.4 (3)

Another new one for 8.2.3 (or 8.2 in general):
I use a filter for Offline lists which is 'In Selected Lists', a single list, then Invert Filter.
In the filtered caches I'm seeing caches which are definitely in the list I'm comparing against. Strangely over 2 devices with identical lists, I'm seeing a different list of caches which Cachly is saying aren't in the other list (iPhone is 347 of 9,068, iPad 174 of 9,068)… also none are in my home country.
-
When I'm importing a list, either through AirDrop or going into Files and then sharing to Cachly, on my iPad Cachly won't display a progress window — it just sits on the Import GPX screen until it's finished. On my iPhone I get a progress dialog.
Cachly 8.2.3, but it's been doing it for a few versions.

1. When I’m downloading a PQ, I have Download Images turned off. But Cachly still starts downloading images — as seen on the More > Downloads screen.
2. Have to say I’m not a fan of the placeholder ‘0’ numbers when selecting an offline list to download a PQ too: when clicking the PQ and the Offline List Name screen first pops up, all my offline lists have 0 caches against them, it can take a second or 2 to populate with the actual number.
Cachly 8.2.3
p.s. 8.2 is generally a nice upgrade with new features I’m still learning about :]
-
Oh bother. Thanks for letting me know where it is now (Settings > Caches & Waypoints).
I'm working on a challenge which requires finding caches more than 2 ㎞ from other caches, so am currently using it regularly.
-
Nice, thanks!

Hi, on the Live and Offline map screens, you used to be able to long press on the map layers icon, and under Options, one of the options was Ignore Corrected Coordinates. I can’t find this anymore?
-
Hi, I'm pretty sure using the same filter twice used to work, but now it's treated as an OR or something:
In an offline list, I have a saved filter for the latest pirate treasures:
- Difficulty ≥ 2
- Difficulty ≤ 4
- Type Multi, Mystery
- Logic AND
But I'm seeing mysteries & multis with D1 on the map
Thanks
Cachly 8.2.3

Is it possible to add the DT rating of the cache as a keyword insert when setting up text templates ?
Example: DT 1.5/1.5 would suffice.
When you're editing a template, there's a key icon down the bottom right of the screen, which shows you what's available.
This is what I use
D*|cache_difficulty|*/T*|cache_terrain|*

I sometimes create offline geocaches in offline lists for:
- new caches released at events that aren't yet live
- points of interest when travelling, so I can see where e.g. the hotel is in relation to caching
The problem is these pins are easily confused with actual caches.
It looks like Saved Locations could work for this, but whenever I switch lists they disappear off the map.
So maybe saved locations could appear on all maps? Or there could be more options/types when creating an offline geocache (but that would prob cause issues with exporting).
Thanks!

Hi, a minor bug that has crept in the last few versions of Cachly…
When downloading a pocket query, the option to download lite or full cache data always defaults to lite. Previously Cachly remembered the last used option. This may may apply to downloading images too.
Just tried again and still present under 8.1.4
-
I regularly use Cachly to edit logs via the macOS iPhone Mirroring app, as I find Cachly's interface nicer than geocaching.com
Since Cachly 8.1, the formatting of the log window has gotten a lot harder to use — see attached, where the divider line is most of the way up the screen.
Currently on Cachly 8.1.1, iOS 26.2, iPhone Mirroring 1.5 / macOS 26.
Thanks!

On the offline map screen, in the … menu, there's an option to add/remove a Highlight for All/Filtered/Visible caches.
I'd find it handy if there was an equivalent to set the Found status of a group of caches. At the moment I go into them individually and use the Set Found button.
Why: I combine lab caches (via GPX) and caches (via PQ) in offline lists. When in the field I like to use Cachly to track what I've found, and because ALs are a separate system, they don't automatically convert to a smiley face.

Go into More > Settings > General, and scroll down to Default Coordinate Format.
I much prefer setting this once rather than every time I copy a format, but you can go back to the old way with Use Coordinate Picker.

This is probably the API rather than Cachly…
The last couple of days when I go onto the Logs tab, then try to edit a log, Cachly will return:
Error Object Reference Not Set To An Instance Of An Object.
When trying to save the edits.
Cachly 8.0.8 (1)

I think the trigger is when the newly found cache is the only pin on the map.
i.e. hit X to clear the map, then do the search.
And yes, it's an insane zoom, the scale ruler goes up to 4 m

Ah, you are creating offline list templates. Those do not sync, only online filtering templates.
Sorry for the confusion. Offline list templates are much older and are part of the database system, so syncing isn't easy.
Gotcha, thanks!

No, there is no way to reorder the templates currently.
For syncing, I just tested on my devices and they synced right away. If you create a new template on device 1, then check on device 2, there is nothing?
Just tried the other way around, still didn't sync:
- an offline list
- tap filter icon
- select Save New Template
- give it a name
- tap Save
on other device, select Current Template, it hasn't appeared.

1. Is there a way to reorder Filter Templates? I've ended up creating 50+ for a particular challenge, but not in the order I want to see them
2. Help says Filter Templates are synced across devices (https://help.cachly.com/article/22-live-filter-templates). I have iCloud Drive turned on + Cachly is on for Apps Syncing to iCloud Drive on both devices, but the templates have never synced? Cachly is definitely using iCloud as highlighted caches sync between devices.
Cachly 8.0.6, iOS/iPadOS 18.1
Thanks!

Than please do not advertise with features which could coming but faaaaaaar way from release!
Some of us like knowing what features are planned :]

Maybe iCloud syncing was off for Cachly on the old phone?
-
When viewing a cache, and you select the ellipses menu and ‘View on geocaching.com’, the page opens in a mini browser and you’re not authenticated. You need to tap the browser icon to open the Safari app.
Is there a way to have Cachly always open in the Safari app instead?
p.s. actually I’d love an option to disable that mini browser in all apps!
-
Cachly 8 introduced a long press on the map filter to quickly enable/disable the filters.
Would be cool/consistent to have this for the log filtering as well.

OK, thanks for looking.
