It feels pointless to add another comment regarding the PAID FOR old app being great and the new app being pretty rubbish in comparison. It really feels like the only thing that GC cares about is dollars and not its users.
From what I can tell, the old app has been removed in spite of users including myself paying for it (feels like Google/Nest and Revolv). The replacement is pointless without paying a lot for premium membership, and all third party apps are equally crippled without being a premium member.
As it turns out I upgraded to premium because I enjoyed geocaching, not because someone forced me to.
