Geocaching has changed me! It has been one of my go to apps in the past couple months. Everybody says that it is not worth it to pay 30 bucks for premium for a year and 6 for a month. Yes it is a little bit of a rip off, but still worth it. A lot of other competitors may give you better stuff but I find this app the most accurate and kid friendly! Premium is worth it maybe not to others. Seeing that people get mad at a game makes me laugh. Your thinking that you have to pay to literally play the game. I on the other hand think that it is reasonable to have a 1.5 1.5 rating on caches. If you do think about it approximately 1/4 of all traditional caches are 1.5 on both or lower. Consider my words that taking what you get is probably the best your are going to get! Also I think that it is money well spent for premium. A lot of people think that geocaching (GroundSpeak Inc.) will do something about their suggestions, and they might but they are just trying to do the best they can for the game and the people that play. Just think of how many things would be different without this, and there are peeps out there trying to basically ruin the game by saying it's not fun or well put together! But take this advice from me it is worth it, because I have hid caches and have had fun with them! Just do I want people to realize that it isn't worth it? NO! I don't. That is why I set them up so people can have fun with the game! Thanks for reading this and taking time out of your life! - **5★ · The app Does what it says it will do · June 2, 2018** — While I agree with Doris45, that operating the app under a basic membership has its limitations, the app still does what it says it will do. The features available with a premium membership are because those people pay for the service. Groundspeak / Geocaching is no different than any other service that has a free basic and a paying premium membership system. The bottom line is it does what it says it will do. That being said, I am giving it 4 stars (I would give it 4.5 or even 4.75 if I could, just not a full 5) because I still find little glitches and some limitations that annoy me (i.e. only being able to see /load caches if zoomed in under a certain level / limit on number of caches visible at one time). Where I am, caches are spread out and I would rather see a wide view rather than needing to scroll over and then load a new area. But given the option of the app on a phone or a GPS that I have to upload and its other limitations, I choose the app on a smart phone any day (where I still have cell service). - **1★ · I feel cheated... this review is loooong overdue. · August 1, 2018** — I very much enjoy geocaching so much so that I paid for the $10 premium version back when it was supposed to be a one-time fee. That money was stolen from me when this subscription-based premium version came out. I would rather spend that money on actual caches to place around town and on my travels. I would like to get my husband into geocaching as well (not to mention all the friends and family who were planning on joining). Sadly, this will likely not happen anytime soon as the $10 I paid was stolen from me, and he's not particularly fond of said deceit and the company that did the deceiving. If you want to make money, why don't you stop being so greedy and actually allow your user to spend their dollars on the physical (and expensive) merch. you sell? I was so excited to hide a golf ball, wad of fake gum, etc. but I don't see that ever happening now... you had the potential to make so much money off of me; hope you're happy with the measly $10 you stole, GroundSpeak, because that's all you're ever going to receive until you change your ways. I'd even pay the $10 again with no hard feelings. Seriously, I'd pay $30—make that $60 including my husband—for permanency. Whoever advised you to make the switch to subscriptions must get a lot of money off of you in the short-term and doesn't really care how long you stay in business. Hope you realize soon your best long term interest is in benefiting your customers long term rather than your pockets short term.
