Description

Looking4Cache is a app with a wide set of functions around the fascinating hobby geocaching. With direct access to over two million geocaches on Groundspeak´s Geocaching platform you can search for a box nearly everywhere.

In seconds you can store geocaches including all informations like the last logs, the waypoints and the images to your device over the direct API access (for this please read the annotation on the bottom). Or you can import a gpx file or a pocket query. All data will be stored on your device for offline usage.

Log your founds with trackables instantly or after your trip in the app. You can upload fieldnotes to the geocaching website too. And this not only for you but also for your complete team.

To save power the GPS accuracy will be switched based on the distance to your next target.


Here a list of the key functions:

Load Geocaches:
- through the Geocaching Live API
- load Pocket Queries or geocaching.com Lists
- import own GPX files
- GCVote integration

Manage lists:
- add Geocaches to lists
- use a lot of filers and sorts
- swipe a cache to build lists for your next trip

Maps:
- Online OpenStreetMap and Bing
- Online Apple Maps
- Send coordinates to other navigation apps

Log Geocaches:
- for multiple users
- with a log drafts, multiple for each log type possible
- log Travelbugs
- save logs locally
- Fieldnotes


Attention: To access the geocaches you need a user on Groundspeak´s Geocaching plattform (.com). According to your membership type the amount of data is restricted. Basic Members could load 3 full cache descriptions per day and up to 6000 basic descriptions. As a Basic Member the geocache search is restricted to traditional caches. To get full access and use all functions of this app you should have a premium account.

Attention: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

What’s New

Version 4.3.2

This version includes a few general improvements and small new features. Mainly, the search for caches and thus the LiveMap will be as fast as usual again.

General:
- When searching for caches, the percentage of favorite points in relation to found logs of premium members were always loaded. This is very slow. The loading of this percentage must now be explicitly selected if this is wanted.
- In iOS 14, the date selection has been changed to the new iOS calendar.
- When placing actions on the map, actions for the current target (e.g. write log, create waypoint) are always displayed.

New functions:
- New filter 'No own caches' for existing cache lists.
- Local logs can now be sorted by date in ascending and descending order, as well as by cache name.

Bug fixes:
- If a new authentication was required at geocaching.com, this was not displayed in all cases.

Seit letztem Update Probleme

Seit über zwei Jahren war ich begeisterte Nutzerin von L4C, seit dem letzten Update komme ich mit der App nicht mehr gut zurecht. Ständig muss ich mich neu authentifizieren, oft gefriert die App ein und muss neu geladen werden. Besonders in Gegenden ohne Empfang sehr ärgerlich, da der Spaß dann ein jähes Ende findet. Jetzt probiere ich es noch mit einer importierten Pocket-Query, sollte das nicht klappen, werde ich mich schweren Herzens nach einer Alternative umsehen müssen.

Developer Response ,

Diesem Fehler habe ich in Version 4.0.3 behoben.

Geniale App fürs Geocachen!

Benutze L4cache jetzt schon seit Jahren und bin immer noch total begeistert.
Die App kann einfach alles !
Gesuchte Caches und bereits einmal geladene Karten stehen auch offline zur Verfügung, Peilung ist super einfach von vorhandenen Wegpunkten möglich, es gibt auch einen optionalen Annäherungsalarm für den angepeilten WP, und und und...
Zu guter letzt ist auch der Akku Verbrauch sehr akzeptabel. Kein Problem einen Tag zu überstehen mit 20-30 Caches!

Stürzt immer ab!

Stürzt Leider seit den letzten beiden Updates regelmäßig (reproduzierbar) ab beim Suchen/Auflisten von Caches im Umkreis. Dieses Problem hatte ich bei alten Versionen nie!!
