About this app

Join the world’s largest community of creative hiders and outdoor seekers with the official Geocaching® app. With over 3 million cleverly hidden geocache containers worldwide, you can join an active community of outdoor explorers creating, sharing and playing the game of geocaching all around you. Geocaches are created and shared by people like you, who have a passion for hiding treasure, seeking adventure, and sharing the most meaningful and creative hiding spots all over the world. 
 
Whether you are traveling to a new city, a family out on a neighborhood walk, or a group of friends who know how to appreciate a good scavenger hunt, geocaching is easy enough for anyone to get started. Browse our map to discover hidden cache locations nearby — no matter what city or country you are in. Start by navigating using GPS-enabled directions to within 30 feet of the cache — then your real search begins. Geocaches are hidden out of sight, often disguised, to only be found by the people who are trying to find them.
 
Geocaches come in all shapes, sizes, and types — and some may be more cleverly deceptive than you can even imagine. Cache owners will always include a log book for you to sign to record your successful find. Larger containers might also include some treasures to be traded or moved to other cache locations — like with trackable tags, personal keepsakes, and the occasional geocoin hoping to be passed on to the next adventurer. Once you are done with the container, simply place it back exactly as you found it for the next explorer to discover.
 
With a constantly growing community of geocachers there is no limit to how you can get in on the fun. You can play as a family in your neighborhood and parks, add some cache seeking to your jogging or fitness routine, or challenge yourself with some all-terrain caches on a hike near your favorite trails. Use the map to find local events held by the community around the world to learn the best tips and tricks for finding caches and the impact this global game has had on their lives. If you’re lucky enough, they may even share some of the TOTT (tools of the trade!) with you to make sure no treasure gets left behind on your search.

So so at best. They need to complete the upgrade to filter locations with travel bugs and trackables. Either that or just make the cache change color if there is a trackable in it. This has failed to work way to long. It's an example of slow or no progress in the game. Careful when you buy and deploy trackables. People take them. If it's expensive then it's better to just keep it.

This is an amazing app to have!! Gets you out of the house and out into the world. Places you may have never been. But I am currently experiencing an issue. When I try to log in, it kicks me out to the log in page and tells me "your authorization has expired please try again"... Yes I have restarted my phone and uninstalled the app to try and fix it but still no luck. Need some help.

I was excited to start geocaching because I've seen some cool geochaches on TikTok. Little did I know you need a subscription in order to do the "harder" ones level 2+. I just can't justify spending $6.99 a month or paying the yearly subscription for a hobby I don't know I even want to do yet. I wish there was another app to go to for this because the hobby seemed cool until they capitalized it.
