About this app

Join the world’s largest treasure hunt with the Geocaching® app

Adventure is closer than you think. Find geocaches hidden in neighborhood parks, along local trails, and in everyday places you might have otherwise passed by. Whether you want more family time outside, a new way to explore, or a fresh challenge, the Geocaching® app makes it easy to get started.

Why you'll love geocaching:

• Spend more time outside with family and friends
• Find geocaches hidden in plain sight near home and beyond
• Add a new challenge to your everyday routine
• Turn any outing into an adventure
• Hide your own caches for others to find
• Collect digital Treasure by exploring more

How geocaching works:

See what’s nearby: Use the app’s map to see geocaches near you. Then, select a cache to find!
Navigate to the location: Follow the map, compass, driving or walking directions to get close.
Start searching the area: Look for the hidden cache—they come in all shapes and sizes. Check the hint if you get stuck.
Sign the logbook: Once you find it, sign your username on the cache’s log sheet
Trade SWAG (Optional): Some caches contain trinkets for trade. If you take something, leave something of equal or greater value behind.
Return the cache: Put the cache back in its hiding spot for the next finder and log your find in the app to see your find count increase!

Do more with Geocaching Premium:

Access more geocaches: Unlock all caches everywhere, including Premium-only caches.
Customize your search: Filter caches by size, type, difficulty, terrain, Favorite points, and more.
Get notified: Receive notifications when new caches are published near you.

Add more adventure: Seamless connection to the Geocaching Adventure Lab® app.
Collect more digital Treasure: work on multiple collections at the same time.

We downloaded this to provide something for us to do during the lockdown period, and found we've become addicted to it! So much fun. You can use the free version, which we found plenty of caches with. If you do want to go premium like we did (because we got so hooked!) it's super cheap at the annual rate. Only rated 4* due to the app itself. I have to keep uninstalling it because at random the cache information won't load meaning I don't have access to the description or hints :(

Subs services are manipulation. As long as it stays this way, it isn't worth it. I had the free version before the subs were available, and enjoyed it enough to buy the app at full price. Swapping to a sub model took the access I paid for away from me to try and force a regular fee. If I can pay for a full version once, I'll upgrade the app and keep playing. With a sub, I'll find the close ones, then unsub and delete the app. I would watch an ad per 1 locked cache. Maybe try that?

Thank you for your feedback. We understand that the subscription fee is not doable for everyone. The subscription fee goes to bug fixes, new features requested by our community, and our support teams. Without our fee, we couldn't facilitate or support the app and website.

So I stopped doing this a while ago, enjoyed it but lacked time. Came back and only about a third of the geocaches are free. It's effectively just a paid service, you can't filter unless you pay, over a dozen search parameters but only two are free. Interface is clunky, generally just feels a cash grab. Oh their other version adventure lab, just the same. Uninstalled both and will be looking for better alternatives.
