+Hoochie Coochie Man Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Hi I think it would be great for "Hiding a Geocache" feature in ios. Thus we easly prepare listings with smartphones. In my opinion it's possible. What you guys think about this? Thank you.. Quote Link to comment
+Tassie_Boy Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I can't see you getting a lot of support for this. Making hiders at least use a browser but more probably use a PC means that at least some effort has to go into a listing because you have to go out of your way to fill out the forms. Embedding cache page creation in the app is likely to lead to pressing a button to capture your (very fuzzy) location, dropping a cheap, crap container and never ever thinking about it again.

+T.D.M.22 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Yes, it's possible, and probably easy for them to do. But that's not the point. It's about the hide themselves. If people don't want to do any work to make the page, it's not a stretch to think they won't do any work on the cache. Also, if you want to hide it in an app, you've got a wifi connection, and a phone with an internet browser. It's not really hard to do it on a phone. Quote Link to comment
+Manville Possum Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 (edited) Also, if you want to hide it in an app, you've got a wifi connection, and a phone with an internet browser. It's not really hard to do it on a phone. I've created and submitted several cache listings via my phone from public WiFi connections. I'm still asking for an ignore caches by user feature to filter out power trails. Edited July 19, 2016 by Manville Possum Quote Link to comment

This ^^^ It will likely result in a lot of pill bottles tossed out and never retrieved when the cache submission gets rejected for being too close to a multi, puzzle or letterbox final.

+Carbon Hunter Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 I'd really just like to take accurate / or at least an time averaged waypoint to check later for hiding (Perhaps it can do this already)? Quote Link to comment
