In App Cache Owner Tools

[+HiddenCrazy]

Any chance of getting cache owner dashboard tools within the app? It would be great to be able to edit coordinates or enable/disable caches from within the app.

This is already available.

It would be good to be able to view my own unpublished caches in the app, so as to check that everything works as expected before app-users start trying to find it. Perhaps this function already exists somewhere but I couldn't find it.

That would be nice!

I just tried entering my unpublished cache's GC code into the app's search function, just in case, but it came back with "Something went wrong, please try again." Not a helpful error message, I can keep trying till the cows come home but it's not going to make any difference.

There is already a way to archive caches as an owner, deactivate or announce maintenance. You click on the desired cache and go to "Log". It would be a great feature to delete logs from other geocachers in the app as well.

When it works. Today I did maintenance on some TD'd caches. The first one I was able to Enable the cache using the app. The next two I couldn't because the Enable option had disappeared. This has happened before for some unknown reason.

Yes, it's happened to me a few times too. Logging out and logging back in again fixes it, well, until next time.

I tried closing the app and re-opening it but that didn't work.

No, you have to actually log out.

Again. I went to enable a geocache that is already disabled. One of the log options was disable, but no enable was available.

Yes, I've noticed that too recently. Logging out and back in again fixes it, but it's becoming a bit of a pain to have to keep doing that and will likely become more so in the months ahead as I currently have eight caches disabled due to the extreme wet weather and it's likely I'll be wanting to re-enable them in the field when I've done a cache check after the trails have reopened.
