Yes having the same problem with no map downloading when saving offline lists. I tried to demonstrate the offline mode to a friend the other day and it wouldn't work for them either. The download offline data checkbox has been ticked and cache data has been refreshed in the lists menu.

Just had an issue where after loading a cache from an email link and then returning to the main map screen no geocaches would load resulting in a blank map. Resetting the filter, which toggled hide my finds to off, brought everything back.

Just installed version 7.0 iPhone app. Any release notes? Liking the new navigation section but just wondered if there are any more changes. Ta ?

Received my Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 phone and installed v5.2.3 of the Geocaching app. Happy to report that the horrible lag is now gone and the GPS dot keeps up with my movements.

I would prefer a simple proximity ding instead of the clanging chimes. A choice between the current sound, a ding or silent would be great.

It's shocking that this fundamental problem still hasn't been addressed. Posted videos of the refresh rate between the 2 apps last year and it was obvious that the new app has issues. Fortunately (it seems) my android device died and now using an iPhone, the new iOS app is spot on with the refresh rate.

The Classic app and the new app aren't posting logs with images attached. Last log with an image that got posted was on the 24th September since then nothing.

What was the interval rate for the Geocaching Classic app? My videos clearly demonstrate that the classic app is far superior in this respect to the new app. When walking the classic app blue dot would smoothly glide to movement but the new app is jerky and not as accurate. For reference Google Maps behaves as smooth as the Geocaching Classic app so it's not a phone problem.

Still not posting logs with photos. Giving it a few more months otherwise the subscription is ceasing, a once fun past time is increasingly getting frustrating.

Hi, I'm finding the blue GPS position dot a lot slower in the new app compared to the old app. Especially when in a car you (as a passenger) you can often pass the cache as the phone hasn't caught up. Couple of vids of the issue. Old app: Old app New app: New app Can some tweaks be made to make it the same as the old app? It was so much better. Thanks

Logs with photos attached work fine on iOS devices so it's specific to android.

None of my logs with photos are posting, either in the new app or the classic app. Never had any issues before and I haven't changed the way i do it.

My Sony Xperia Z1 is set up as English (United Kingdom) in Language and Input menu yet Geocaching® insists on using kilometers. The old app lets you choose.

How are people finding the refresh time of blue GPS position dot in the new app? I'm finding it slow compared to the old app and often found I've walked passed before the app has as caught up.

Just updated to 3.3.2, the animated circular "working" icon on the top green bar is constantly displayed and never seems to complete!

Lovely, all images load up properly now Many thanks

Brilliant update, so pleased the centre map tracking is back. The swivel option is cool, use that a lot on iOS app. The only downside is that some activity log photos are still not loading properly and a plus/minus zoom button on the map might be a useful addition. Overall, superb

Noticed that some log photos are now refusing to load in 3.2 when viewing them from the recent activity list with the message "image could not be downloaded" being displayed. Moto Defy+ on Gingerbread using cache GC4X2N9 as an example. The same cache on iOS however displays all the photos properly as does the website. Any other users getting this?

Cool, app now remembers to stay in satellite view mode, not defaulting to street view every time. The blue dot still won't stay in the centre of the screen when walking to a cache in map mode which is disappointing

Had a chance to check v3.1 of the app out on my Motorola Defy+ and my dads HTC Desire S phones on a 39 cache circuit today. Vast improvement on GPS response. Locked to my location straight away, the distance to cache counted down quickly and the my location blue dot moved properly with my movement. Big thumbs up on this one as the previous version was ghastly! Compass accurate and pointed in the correct direction all the time too Photos, trackables and favourites are easily accessible too. Just a couple of niggles though: A few force close issues on both mobiles when posting logs. Tap on the post log arrow then after a few seconds a force close message appeared. The buttons for Send Later and Post log are too close together for my liking. Easy to tap the wrong button. I saved the caches as an offline list and viewed them in map mode and list mode on the way round. In list mode all the found caches had smilies attached to them but in map mode none did until I exited to the main menu and then back into offline lists again. Keep the improvements coming! Thanks, Ozz

Are you referring to the map showing nearby caches, or the map seen when navigating to a particular cache? If the former, keep in mind that the map is not a moving map - it will not refresh the caches as you move (either on the iPhone app or the Android app). If the latter, the map should be autozooming as you approach the cache to keep both your current position and the cache position in view. I don't mean to speak for OZZ, but I think what is meant is when you have the map up, the map does not move with your location, not that new caches don't show up. If you pull up the map and you drive along for a spell and then look at the map, it has not moved and you have to scroll the map until you find your location represented by the little blue dot. Having the map move and keep your location in the center would be ideal. Then to find new caches, just hit the "search here" button instead of having to "find yourself" first. That's correct, that's what the old android app did and what the iOS app still does OK, after selecting a cache from the list, press the "navigate" arrow and wait for the GPS to lock. Tap the android soft menu button and tap the My Location button (Circle with dot in middle with marks at NSEW). The map will then zoom in to your location with the blue dot in the centre of the screen. Now here lies the problem, with the old android app and with the current iOS app the blue dot should remain constantly in the centre of the screen with the map updating as you move. As you get closer to the cache the cache marker comes into view. The new android app doesn't do this, the map stays fixed and the blue dot moves off the screen and disappears which is a pain when your trying to navigate to a cache on a bike or as a passenger in a car, you end up missing it!! A quick demonstration of how it should work is the default android Maps app, the flashing blue arrow remains in the centre of the screen at all times and the map moves as you travel. Hope this explains it!!

Still having to manually scroll the map to keep up with the my location dot Its much better to keep the dot in the screen centre with the map refreshing with movement like the old app did and what the iOS app still does.

Just bought an iPad mini and noticed that the Geocaching app doesn't look very good at all with blurry pixellated text. At 1x resolution the app is displayed in a small box in the middle of the screen: At 2x resolution the app fills the screen but the image is now blurry and text breaks up: The compass screen is full of jagged edges too: Could the app team develop a specific iPad version? The iPhone version is not really suitable for the job which is a shame as every other app I have downloaded to it has an iPad specific version (in particular Viewranger which looks great on the iPad!). Many thanks, agentOZZ

Maps now work perfectly on an Motorola Xoom tablet. Had an issue where if you tap on the cache the pop up bubble chased around the screen every time you tried to tap on the cache link. This has been rectified :-)

Getting this on Android tablet too. The bubble appears as normal but when tapping on the cache name the bubble whizzes over to a different part of the screen. Tapping on the cache name again brings up the cache page. This didn't happen on the Pocket Query selection pre 13th March update. Thanks, Owen
