Use case: The user should be able to view at a glance in the app which geocaches have personal notes. This can be used to distinguish mysteries/earthcaches/multis etc. with notes for completion. The note icon also does not appear when using the desktop version of the website, but it is possible to use the filter function to view only caches with notes. This is not possible in the app. Implementation suggestion: Adding an icon similar to the heart icon shown as a marker for caches with many favourite points (the current note/envelope icon does not seem useful for this, as it is too detailed for the size).

I geocache exclusively using the Android app and I love it, although I always stumble on the same little annoyances that I think could be easily fixed. So I decided to gather them in a list as improvement suggestions (please note that I use the app in French so the actual menu items might be named a little differently): - In the profile menu, the Statistics page show only our D/T grid and refers to our online dashboard page for more stats: this should be a link to open our Dashboard page directly in the browser ! - I always save Wherigos and Letterboxes final coordinates as Corrected coordinates, so these get synched with the website, as all my friends do. The website offers this possibility but not the app. Please add this feature ! - Selecting new map type should bring directly back to the map: moving the checkmark before selecting the Back arrow doesn't add any value. - The Map type selection is either an icon on the map or a menu item in the ... menu. It is confusing and would be simpler if always selectable from an icon on the map. - A "Personnal Note indicator" would be nice. Personnal notes are very important in the field: if I placed one on a cache page, it should be readily visible, just like the Hint is: either green (if a note exist) or greyed out (no note avail.) - Add to Watchlist: caches can be added to our personnal lists but the feature to add to "the" watchlist is missing. - Filters: having the possibility to filter by "placed date", "Not found by" and "Caches with corrected coords" would be really great ! - Projection: being able to create a new waypoint by projecting an existing one would be really helpful. - The "Navigate to" button leads to a different view for a Traditional cache: the distance is shown in a small box in the lower pull up menu. It would be easier to read if the distance was always shown in larger characters on the top part of the map. It would also be more consistent with the view for the other cache types. - Navigate to pull up menu: the large "Details" button is useless. It should be replaced by a "Description" button leading to the cache description. The ability to pull the menu even further up revealing the cache attributes would also be really great ! - The last improvement item I have is to fix the offline caches lists and offline maps. I struggled a lot using these features when geocaching in remote area. And I consider myself to be an experienced user so I can only imagine how less familiar users might feel. Offline maps and caches take forever to refresh, which doesn't make sense since they should all be stored in my cellphone. And they always crash after some time, rendering their use for a whole trip useless. Sadly, I have to rely on other apps or take my old hiking GPS wherever cell signal is not guaranteed. But this would be more a fix than a new feature suggestion. Thank you for reading me. I hope this list helps improve the app. Keep up the ggod work and happy trail everyone !
