User Reviews

TBScan is praised as a fast, time-saving tool for geocachers, especially at events, thanks to quick scanning and bulk logging. Users love bulk-logging and ease of use, with many upgrading to premium for more than five logs. Common drawbacks are the five-scan limit on the free version, OCR misreads of codes, and occasional reliability/login issues. Overall, it’s a highly valued app for speed and efficiency when it functions properly.

Pros

Very fast scanning and bulk logging, saving time at events.
Ability to log multiple trackables at once, especially useful at events and TB hotels.
Easy-to-use interface with intuitive scanning and logging.
Great value when upgrading to premium to log more than five at a time.
Widely valued by geocachers and highly recommended for Megas and GeoBash.

Cons

Free version limits scanning to 5 at a time, encouraging upgrade.
OCR/character recognition can misread codes, especially when images aren’t flat or codes are angled.
Occasional reliability issues (crashes on some devices; log errors like TB not existing).
Some login/integration issues with Geocaching.com reported by users.

It’s good, wish you didn’t have to pay for most of the features.

I still remember the days where you would attend events, write down 200+ discover codes, and then discover them all at home, taking hours of time. Luckily TBScan makes that a thing of the past and can scan a trackable code in about 3 seconds. I also appreciate the feature where you can discover multiple at a time and bulk log them. This makes trackable discovery much easier at events, and makes me more enthusiastic to discover TBs.
