ClanMcPurdy Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I'm just curious to see if anyone knows- why does the Windows Geocaching app have such limitations placed upon it? When geocaching with the miss, we frequently turn to the Android app, as it is easier to navigate through as well as allowing us to look at more than 3 caches per day. Any ideas? We're going to be getting a membership, but it just makes it difficult to hunt prior to buying it. (At least, compared to the Android app.) Quote Link to comment

Not overly intuitive either but it will do the job but not quite as easy as others. We only use it as a backup in the field (to our Garmin Etrex 20s) if new caches are published while we are out.

+K13 Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 There is an entire section of this forum devoted to phone apps, including a subsection for the Windows phone. Maybe you can get better help there. Quote Link to comment

The basic Windows app is free, but unlike the android app you mention, to have a "full" version you need to be a premium member. You're not. Been that way for years. I believe it's coming to the rest of you soon. Edited July 5, 2015 by cerberus1 Quote Link to comment
