Ability to quickly see you own log

[+Its_Dozzie]

How often does someone ask you about a cache you have already found?  To find your own log in the app is currently quite tedious....

1. Open the cachepage in the webbrower
2. Click near your yellow smiley to find the cache
3. Enlarge the log to make it more readable.

How good would it be if, similar to a 'friends' tab, you could have a 'me tab' where you can quickly pull up your own log, without having to go to the web browser.
Or, as you are the best friend of yourself, add your own log into the  'friends' tab!

That has been suggested before. Something to just consider if it's a tricky hide you could just copy and paste your log and put it in the personal note which is very easily accessible on the app, plus you can add more spoiler information you wouldn't want in your log.

I would love to see my own logs be included in the "Friends" tab!

I'm surprised at how often I am asked about caches I have previously found - I usually go to the website on my computer to refresh my memory by re-reading my log if I don't recall the particular cache right away.  

 

I agree that adding "My logs" tab to the app, or simply including your own logs on the friends tab, would be a nice feature to add.  It's easy to do on the website, but I rarely use the website while using my phone, it's just too hard to read and navigate.  Adding a shortcut to my own logs on caches in the app would be quite useful!

I have had this conversation several times in the last few months with a variety of geocachers. 

Especially when caching with another geocacher while I am driving. 

It would be fantastic to have my log show up under the friends tab on my friends' phones so that my friends can open that tab and then read my log, and my found date, to me and vice-versa. 

A small change that would make geocaching life much easier, so please add our logs to the friends tab.

I cache using the GC app on my Android phone. I never go to the website because the screen is too small and it's too much (for me) of a faff.

To find my own log I have to go to the cache page and scroll down to find it, which can be very time-consuming if I last visited a couple of years ago and several dozen people have logged it since.
It would be very helpful if I could quickly go back to my log, either to remind myself of the cache or to read details of a failure. The website tells me when I last logged each cache, but the app does not. It's a feature I would use a lot, because I often fail to find when I'm on my own and I'd like to be able to refer to my failure log on my next visit.

Woot!

Also.... I don't recall past logs having a " read more" feature.
