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. 
 
Get more with Geocaching Premium! Upgrade to access all geocaches and extra features to personalize your experience.

Geocaching is fun! However, technically, here i am rating the app which is not bad in essence, however, 9.9 times out of 10 it doesn't work. It starts up in a map mode but no controls are displayed so basically i cant use it at all and the only thing i can do is shut it down and try again. Even though i found a workaround which is to disable location services, launch the app and enable it again, its still a major flaw which needs fixing. Two stars only. Geocaching itself gets 5!

Thank you for reporting this, and we're very sorry for the inconvenience. It was tricky to pin down, but we've released a fix addressing the map freezing issue. Please update your app to continue caching!

Absolutely amazing, though the navigation could use some work. I'm not sure if it's because of the 'big update' I read about or if it sgenerslly not too great, but it will put me in random locations (like a whole kilometre away) lag, won't follow me, etc. So you sometimes end up having a hard time figuring the location out.

Please bring back the trackable counter as it was in the old app for more stars... You could easily see if a cache contained trackables from the small description that popped up when clicking on a cache in the map. With the new app you need to open the full cache information, scroll down and expand the trackable section. Too many steps for something that simple!
