Looking4Cache Lite - Reviews, Revenue and Downloads - Apple App Store

Description

Looking4Cache is a app with a wide set of functions around the fascinating hobby geocaching. With direct access to over two million geocaches on Groundspeak´s Geocaching platform you can search for a box nearly everywhere.

In seconds you can store geocaches including all informations like the last logs, the waypoints and the images to your device over the direct API access (for this please read the annotation on the bottom). Or you can import a gpx file or a pocket query. All data will be stored on your device for offline usage.

Log your founds with trackables instantly or after your trip in the app. You can upload fieldnotes to the geocaching website too. And this not only for you but also for your complete team.

To save power the GPS accuracy will be switched based on the distance to your next target.

Here a list of the key functions:

Load Geocaches:
- through the Geocaching Live API
- load Pocket Queries or geocaching.com Lists
- import own GPX files
- GCVote integration

Manage lists:
- add Geocaches to lists
- use a lot of filers and sorts
- swipe a cache to build lists for your next trip

Maps:
- Online OpenStreetMap and Bing
- Online Apple Maps
- Send coordinates to other navigation apps

Log Geocaches:
- for multiple users
- with a log drafts, multiple for each log type possible
- log Travelbugs
- save logs locally
- Fieldnotes

Attention: To access the geocaches you need a user on Groundspeak´s Geocaching plattform (.com). According to your membership type the amount of data is restricted. Basic Members could load 3 full cache descriptions per day and up to 6000 basic descriptions. As a Basic Member the geocache search is restricted to traditional caches. To get full access and use all functions of this app you should have a premium account.

Attention: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Useful Free Version

I started using this app when Geo Bucket stopped being supported. Now it is back online but I like L4C better, except for the map not being able to pan in direction of travel. If the paid version has it, I will not hesitate to buy it, just for that feature.

More Greed

Now you can’t load anything over a 1.5 star rating. These companies, especially groundspeak are getting out of control with greed, from once started as a nice free activity.

Very Good

With Geosphere no longer supported on iOS 11, I took another look at caching apps. No app does all what Geosphere offered, but after trying them all I think the pro version of this app is the best. The lite version will get you started but to appreciate it you need the full version The interface takes a little getting used to, but it has a nice display that is focused on the maps. The color scheme is far better than some of its competitors. It does a lot and does it better than anything out there (excepting Geosphere).

Don't trust

My Facebook got hacked right after logging into this app through my geocaching account which is linked to my Facebook.

👍🏽

Best geocaching app

LOVE IT

This app is really cool and easy

So far, very good

I'm test driving this on as it had a lite (free) version to tryout before purchasing it. With the new official geocaching app by GroundSpeak, I needed to find a app more like the original geocaching app which will be disabled very soon. So far I like what I see, short learning curve also. My only complaint is that I often go caching with non-premium members, my wife in particular. And although in the list view it clearly shows premium only caches, on the map view you can't tell the difference. It would be nice to set a filter to remove those when I'm in such a situation. Otherwise I like what I see and am using.

Needs Apple Watch app

Please create a standalone app for the Apple Watch.

No caches displayed

There were numerous geocaches around French Creek State Park, in Pennsylvania. However the app did not displayed any geocaches. Very disappointing.

Don't bother...

I have a cache in a cemetery less than 500 feet to the east of my house... This app was trying to lead me north into the middle of a field of wheat. At one point it said I was 443 feet from the cache, then suddenly after taking only two steps, I was 697 feet from the cache. I would not recommend this app.
