+Vidfamne Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Now that Groundspeak officially has discontinued their app, what other apps are you Windows 10 Mobile using and what are your pro's and con's about them? Quote Link to comment
+4crazyyoungs Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 I would also be interested to know what other app I could use on Windows Phone. To be honest am very disappointed at this move as I thought with Windows 10 and Windows 10 mobile that the app market would become bigger and attract the Bigger companys to see them jump ship !! Maybe time to get a GPS device instead of using phone Quote Link to comment
Keystone Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 I am moving this thread from the Geocaching Topics forum to the API Partner Apps forum. Quote Link to comment
+leemel Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I'm disappointed with this, had a Windows Phone for 18 months, and looks like I either change phone again, which I'm not discounting as I think Microsoft have really dropped the ball with Windows 10 on phone, or go GPS, which makes logging in the field a pain. Groundspeak are happy for me to have a subscription, but if I'm not on a supported platform, then I don't really get any benefits. Quote Link to comment
+Luxsphinx Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I also have found there to be few choices. As a backup to the official app, I've used Xatcher. It is a very metro-themed app that works fairly well, though it is not very feature rich. It will probably be my go to after the official one ceases working. I was going to try making one myself, but found that new API access is no longer available. Quote Link to comment

I was quite happy with Geocaching Live, and don't think the alternatives on offer are any good. Theo Quote Link to comment
+stigvi Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) Hi folks. Try Maaloo. It is feature rich, support online and offline logging, maps of all kinds and so on. I haven't used the official app since 2014 as I found Maaloo as a lot better app for my use. Edited May 11, 2016 by stigvi Quote Link to comment
