Anyone else getting this? A few times now, I have been minding my own business, navigating to a cache, when the app goes from whatever the actual distance to the cache is, to over 5000 miles. It would appear it thinks it is on Null Island, N 0 E 0. Exiting the app quickly fixes the issue upon restart, but it is annoying. Screen cap attached if it helps. Using v8.47.1 on Android 11, on a Galaxy A52 5G.

My app is acting very strange today. No anything. Just continual flashes of something gray. Good thing I was just going to the message center and not out geocaching.

I went to temporarily disable one of my geocaches today but when I clicked on "Log" I thought for a second that I had already disabled it. The three options are owner maintenance, write a note, and temporarily disabled. It should say temporarily disable.

With the new version of the Geocaching application, we no longer have the "coord.info" urls in the links opened by the application. So when clicking on such a link the application is not offered alone c: geo and chrome are Do you have a solution ?

Hi, I have a Samsung SM A520F Android 8.0.0 phone with the Groundspeak app version 8.47.1. When I use the app I select a cache from the map, this will indicate a distance to the cache - but it will not change as I get closer to the cache, for example it may say 0.6 miles to the cache and this will not change. If I open the cache and select "navigate" it then will give an accurate distance to the cache. If I then log that cache and move on to the next one it will show the distance from the point I selected the first cache, this may be 0.8 miles, if I then go to navigate it will show me 0.2 miles from the cache. I have tried to delete and re install but this has made no difference, I have also tried it on more than one occasion and have tried in totally different areas. This is a feature that used to work but seems to have stopped playing the game.

Hello, No more message notifications for version 8.46. ,,, See picture

I think 3 pictures should say more than 3000 words. The Geocaching app did get updated to it's newest version to the point of removing the old one's shortcuts from wherever I had them on my phone. Images: 1. Newsletter 2. Adventure lab app 3. New geocaching app (i did Check the filters but there was noe AL option).

The official info says "Note: The Geocaching.com solution checker is not available on the Geocaching® app." Very true, if you use that checker, nothing at all about coordinate checking shows up in description in the app. One can back up one screen, and choose "open cache in browser", and find and use the checker that way. This is not very user friendly. I propose that the official geocaching app(s) should automatically show a similar link on the cache description page. (Ideally the entire checker should be visible and usable in the app description, but one battle at a time.) As it stands, the official app user will not know about the checker, and cannot see it, or how to find it, unless the CO adds text and a link. If the CO adds this text and link, it becomes redundant clutter when the cache is viewed with a web browser (or the third party app.) Hope this makes sense to the powers that be...

I have downloaded the app onto my Motorola Moto G phone, but it says this device does not have a compass . I deleted and reinstalled but no joy. This is the first time I have used it so I am a bit of a newbie

I would like to request that the Draft slide under Found It, be made a full time selection. I find that many times I forget to switch the Draft on and publish logs before I am ready for them to be published. Thank you..

The upgrade around the 12th of april gave us LabCaches on the map, but ruined the distance to the cache-function i the map. Its still not working, and what was prioritized in the fix yesterday: Sorting of the souvenirs ? Who needs an app with a lot of fancy functions when the basics don't work?

Hi, Today, after installing the last update of the app, I did some maintenances, and when I send a maintenance log from the app, it crashes and closes, leaving me an error message. When I open the app again, the maintenance message doesn't appear in the logs, so I tried 3 times and nothing, so I went through chrome. When I came back home, I saw that the 3 maintenances are well logged... I tested again on a maintenance tonight, in wifi, in case it was a phone (3G/4G) network problem, I have the same result. I sent a comment following this new bug. Android 8 - App version 8.47.0

The newest update to the geocaching app appears to have disabled the "countdown" feature as you approach a cache while looking at the map. You can click off and back onto a cache repeatedly to get the distance, but it's no longer automatic. I can only get the countdown to happen if I'm using the compass feature within a particular cache (but then you don't see the map), or if I ask it to navigate to a specific waypoint (again, accessed by going directly into an individual cache). Am I missing something? Is there a toggle where I can ask it to show me the distance in real time? This is quite debilitating and annoying!

I've had the geocaching app on my tablet and I took it off to upload the new app. Now it says it won't download on my tablet. Where did that option go?

sur mon téléphone subitement l'application ne reconnait plus mes identifiants et n'affiche plus rien quand je veux me reconnecter on me dit que l'utilisateur qu'il n'est pas reconnu très ennuyeux quand on est sur un parcours et y un plus rien je l'ai supprimé et rechargé rien n'y fait

Yesterday and today, when I open the App on my Android phone, it won't display the nearby caches. I tried everything to get them to display but no luck. Is this a known issue since there have been quite a few issues with the site the last few days? If someone can tell me how to make the map refresh to display nearby caches, I'd appreciate hearing from you. When I try on my desktop at home, it displays just fine. Thank you!

Hi all, I was struggling to figure out a nearby puzzle cache (GC5YBPG) the other day. I wasn't at home, so I was looking at the cache page in my Android app, and just coming up with nothing. Today I happened to look at the page on my computer and see that there is a Related Web Page up at the top that contains all of the info required to solve the puzzle. I went back to the app and looked everywhere and I couldn't find the Related Web Page at all, meaning if you were using the app and not a web browser there would be no way to solve this cache, and you wouldn't even know that there is info missing. If setting a Related Web Page is officially supported through the website, it needs to be supported in the official app. The app could show it as part of the description, or somewhere else - I'm not trying to dictate how it needs to be visible, but it needs to be. If it's there and I just can't find it or even if it's obvious and I'm just missing it, I'd appreciate it if someone could point out to me how to view any Related Web Pages.

My android app keeps forcing me to find wonders. The "find wonders" keeps reappering on my phone app every few seconds prompting me to "play now". Very annoying when trying to navigate the map looking for hides. Then when I do find a wonder, I never get credit for it even though I have logged it as a find. I am missing all wonder logs that I have found. WTF?

I changed my home location on Geocaching.com but it's not changing on my Android phone app. I've logged out and back in on my phone and on my laptop but still alerts new caches 100 miles away. We have a camp and have changed home location up there and then back home again but it's not working now. Is there a way to do it on the Android app? Thanks for any help.
