On my computer geocaching.com is showing geocaches that the geocache app on my phone does not. Is this normal?

Here is just one help center article that may help:

See the benefits of a paid membership, in replies posted above.  The App is designed to let you try Geocaching for free, just to see how it all works, in a limited way.  Not unlike most every online game App in the App store. 

 

For free, you may hunt most any cache you see on the computer,

by using the App and saving the cache coordinates as waypoints, or

by sending caches as GPX files to a handheld GPS (or entering them as waypoints), or

by using another App that allows sending GPX files (although Apps tend to not be free), or

by using a combination of web site info and a compass App such as Spyglass (free in a limited way) to get bearing and distance, or

by printing cache pages and maps from the web site, (or use the phone's web browser) without a special App at all.  Some caches can be found just with enough info.

 

Good luck!  :)
