Android app issues

[+los_pajaros]

So tonight me and my family went out on a little caching walk. I had been looking online at some interesting places th night before. I opened the android app for geocaching and most of the ones that I wanted to do we're not there. I was even right by them. Does this happen to anyone else? Do you have to be a premium member to see every single one of them, even if your right by them?

Got to assume that you are using the free, INTRO app.

4.1. What geocaches am I able to find with the Geocaching Intro app for Android?

Great question! Your ability to view and find geocaches in the Geocaching Intro app will vary by your Basic or Premium Membership status.

 

If you are a Basic Member, you will see three recommended and three nearby geocaches at any given time. The geocaches you are able to view will change as you move locations. You will also be able to see geocaches that you own or that you have previously found (if they are traditional geocaches).

 

As a Premium Member, you will still receive three recommended geocaches, and you will also be able to see all traditional geocaches near your current location. You will not be able to see other geocache types (e.g. multi-caches, puzzles, etc.).

 

4.2. What is the difference between the Geocaching Intro app for Android, the Pro app, and Geocaching Premium?

So basically if I want to see all the traditional caches I will have to buy the app and become a premium member. Nice

No. Basic Members see all the caches, except ones that have been made "Premium Member Only".

 

You certainly don't need to buy the Premium Membership to see all "Traditional" caches. We weren't PM for a long time, and found lots of caches.

 

I suppose you could buy the Pro (paid) app, if you want. I don't know. I don't use a phone for caching.

 

You certainly wouldn't need to buy both.
