Groundspeak App question

Post by cheechgang »

I am curious about the Geocaching App for Android.

I tried the Intro App (which is going to replace the paid app) and wonder if there is any way to filter out owned caches.

We have the intro app on our iphones (to see what people complain about).

On the paid app, the "include my finds" slide adds/removes both caches you found, and those you own.
My guess is the developers didn't think anyone who already owned caches would use the intro version.
So the "hide my finds" slide doesn't affect owned caches because it doesn't think you own any.

Feel free to log your own caches as finds then. Seems like maybe anything goes.

Thanks for the explanation.

I hope when they fully replace the paid app with what is currently the beginner app that they implement that feature. In the meantime I stick with the app I have been using. GPSr still is primary piece of equipment.
