Cliffisen Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Hi all, i placed my first cache a few days ago and it seems that the cache doesn’t show up for anyone but premium for the first 24 hours or so? Im fine with that since it’s a premium feature and all. now that the time limit has passed I would like the cache to be available for all and not just premium users. can’t seem to find where I change this tho. anyone know how to change my cache from premium to free? PS This is my second post. It seems that my first got lost somewhere and if it’s out there I’m sorry for the doubleposts DS Quote Link to comment
Keystone Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Your cache is not set up as a Premium Members Only cache. It is, however, an Advanced cache due to its DT rating. 2 Quote Link to comment

Well that really sucks. we hardly ever uses computers and when we are outdoors we sometimes spontaneously wants to go GC. Do i understand you correctly that the app and webpage shows the caches differently for Basic and Premium users? If i get premium for her will she be able to see them all without the need for a computer? Quote Link to comment

Thanks. The free, basic app is used to get folks hopefully interested enough in the hobby to want to go premium. The app doesn't replace the website, where a basic member can access all but "premium member only" caches. Quote Link to comment
+TriciaG Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 (edited) Other apps don't have the D/T rating limitation for basic users. They have other limitations, though - something like 3 caches per 24 hours, IIRC. So you can pick and choose your limitations depending on which app you use (the official app, the API/GC-approved apps, or the unapproved, never-mention-'em app). Edit to add: you could grab the coordinates off the website and plug them into the official app to navigate to the cache. Cumbersome, but there ARE ways to work around the limitations.
