HJMJH Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 If a Basic account upgrades to Premium by paying through the website, does the app know this and give premium access within the app? Or do you have to also pay a second time within the app for Premium as an in-app purchase? Likewise, if a Basic account pays for Premium access via in-app purchase, does the website know this and give access to premium caches on the website? Or will the website not show premium caches because you paid via in-app purchase? Just trying to figure out whether if one way is better than the other or whether it doesn't matter which way it's done. Thanks Quote Link to comment
Keystone Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 As explained in the Help Center article about Premium Membership benefits, there is just one payment that grants access to those benefits across the Geocaching.com website and API applications, including the official Smartphone apps. 1 Quote Link to comment

Thanks The Premium Membership is paid for your account, no matter what device you use! 1 Quote Link to comment

Be advised, you will likely need to log out of the app on the phone and on the webiste, then log back in before your Premium membership is reflected in both the app and the website.

This should not be necessary, regardless of whether you have upgraded on Geocaching.com or your phone's app store. Your membership status should automatically refresh to make it as easy as possible to access every cache right away after upgrading! 1 3 Quote Link to comment

Yeah, there's a certain irony that Groundspeak's Geocaching app botches the caching of data, and continues to use stale data long after the data has been changed on the website... 1 1 Quote Link to comment
