I use looking4cache now ;-)

I want to buy geocaching app for eur 9.99. I do not want to be premium member!

Will I be able to see all type of caches : traditional, multi, mystery etc ?

Or do I need to be premium member for that ?

 

You don't say which app platform you would be using.

 

There is a section in the Help Center titled "Apps":

1.24. Geocaching App/Membership Feature Comparison Chart

1.3. What’s the Difference Between the Free and Paid Apps, and the Free and Paid Membership?

With the Full-featured app as a Basic member:

View all geocaches types (except "Premium Member only" caches), plus Advanced Search, Field Notes, Offline Lists, Souvenirs, and Trackables.

Looking4cache is an approved API Partner...

What caches does their paid for app show?

 

Groundspeaks own app (paid for) does show all cache types (excluding Premium Member Only) for non-premium members.

 

Just had a look at their website.

 

Geocaching.com Basic Members

 

As an Geocaching.com Basic Members there are some limitations on the usage of the Geocaching Live API.

 

These are limitations of the API, not limitations of this app. All 3rd party apps using the official Geocaching Live API haves this limitations.

 

You can download up to three full geocache listings per 24 hour period. But you can view up to 6000 lite versions of geocaches in this period. For example lite version doesn´t include the descriptions, the waypoints and the logs.

You can only search for traditional geocaches. You can download any geocache type, if you know the GC-Code of them.

 

Looks like Groundspeak are pushing cachers to become Premium Members to get the most out of the site!
