It really depends on what you want.  As a premium member there are servers apps to choose from.  Give them a try and form your own opinion.

 

I love Locus Map — it is the reason I own a Pixel.  The beautiful maps are second to none and the caching functions let me do almost everything.  You can add turn by turn directions.  It has great offline features that load graphics, logs, and full cache information.  It also works well with my Garmin Watch.  

 

i write “almost” because it does not have Wherigo support.  These days I use GC Droid for that, although there are others.  
 

GC Droid is a fine caching app but it does offer as much support for offline caching that I find in Locus.
 

Some people like the all-in-one features of Geooh Go. I never adapted to its approach but that does not mean much if it works for you.  
 

Others use the app that improperly scrapes the Groundspeak site, but that is not something I want to do.  In the end I keep going back to Locus.

I like the looks of OSMAnd+ and sometimes use its mapping when I am on a trail, but it does not have specific caching functions.  I have not used the Groundspeak android apps, perhaps because I got an Android in order to use Locus.  The old advice sometimes holds true, leave with the one who brought you to the dance.
