geocaching intro on android problems?

I have never been geocaching before so I went through the hide and seek a geocache feature online and added some to my watch list that are close and looked like fun, but when I opening up the intro app and true in the cache code (in this case GCJD6D) or the coordinates it won't find the geocache I want (titled Hidden Lake). If I type in the code it won't find it at all. I've tried it with a couple different ones and have had the same problem. Why won't it load the geocaches I want it to?

The Intro app is limited in the caches it will display, designed for easier to find caches, usually small size and up, with D/T ratings below 2.

Higher Difficulty or Terrain ratings won't show up on it.

The cache you cite has D/T of 3.5/3.5, therefore it won't appear in the intro app.

The Intro-app is -- as the name suggests -- to give a "taste" of geocaching.

 

If you want the full meal, dump the Intro-app and go with the full (paid) app.

This applies to the Official Groundspeak geocaching app -- there are other apps, too.

 

 

Add to that -- app(s) are not the website. You do not get all website services with any of the apps.

They are only supplemental 'devices' to install on a phone for those unwilling to purchase a stand-alone GPS device.
