Update coordinates in mystery cache on app

[+Yitzichok]

Why is the geochecker feature not available in the app? 

Also, once I solve the puzzle on the website, why don't the coordinates update in the app?

And one more thing, after I solved the puzzle using geochecker on the website, the icon in the app changed from a question mark to a puzzle piece,  anyone know why? (see attached photo)

Try swiping down on the cache page in the app, which forces a refresh. If the cache has been previously opened in the app, everything is cached and doesn't refresh automatically.

The puzzle piece indicates the geocache has solved coordinates. 

I even use this feature for my own puzzle and multi geocaches so they show on the map at the final location. 

I find it so odd that the official checker does not show up on the app! The other ones do.

I find this so frustrating. Sure, ok, that's hard(ish) to code in...

But the thing that annoys me most is that they don't even show the checker attribute on the app! I often do simple puzzles on my phone and if I want to see to the checker, I have to open the website instead of just checking attributes. Oh well.

...no?

 

 

It would be nice if the app would add a line to the description if the checker was enabled, though. Cachly does it well.

Not for me! These screenshots are on the same cache, one on my laptop and the other on the official Geocaching app (android).

I have not, in the past, been able to see an attribute icon for the official checker on my android app. 

 

 

Tonight, I see this:

(the icon looks familiar!)

Same here! Thanks HQ!

It's nice that the attribute is visible on the app, but ... shouldn't it be this one?

Yes. That's why I said the icon for that attribute looked familiar.
