+Turtle_Sask Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Hello fellow cachers! I noticed that your only suppose to report bug problems in the geocaching app forum so thats why im asking my question here. I am thinking of buying the app however I will most likely be getting a new phone in about a year. When I get my new phone will I have to buy it again? I have also heard that they recently updated the app and made it a lot smoother. (Info in this video: ). But it looks like the update was only for the iphone? I looked at some recent reviews from the android app and it does not look as good compared to the Iphone app. Anyone here can comment who has the app? maybe someone who has both?

AZcachemeister Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 If you switch platforms (iPhone vs. ANDROID), you will have to pay again. If you buy a new phone using the same platform, you do not. Quote Link to comment
+ton9819 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) You only have to buy the Paid app Once. it stays on your Apple ID/Android Account as purchased so you don't have to repurchase when you upgrade,unless you swap Phone platforms like AZcachemeister said.

+niraD Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 If you buy a new phone using the same platform, you do not.As long as you register your new phone with the same account you used for your old phone. I've seen people register their new Android phone with a new Gmail account, and then wonder why they can't download all their old apps again. Quote Link to comment
+Turtle_Sask Posted January 9, 2013 Author Share Posted January 9, 2013 Thanks for the replies, good to know that I can still have the app after I get a new phone. I would love to hear from someone who has the android app though! I have the cgeo app and the live map never works. I have a garmin 60 CSx so I only use the app for easier navigation. But CGEO maps never works when im out geocaching. Quote Link to comment
+niraD Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I used to be a beta tester for Groundspeak's Geocaching app for Android. It didn't have a live map at the time. You had to refresh the map to get new caches. Now I use Neongeo, which has a live map. I keep the live map feature disabled though. Quote Link to comment
