User Reviews

Cachly is a feature-rich geocaching tool with strong offline maps and deep customization, widely praised as a top alternative to the official app. Its offline capabilities and map ecosystem are major strengths. However, recurring concerns include pricing/paywall friction, reliability issues, and premium gating of features, plus occasional account/purchase problems. For many users it’s worth the investment when it works, but pricing transparency and stability remain common points of frustration.
Pros
  • Rich offline caching: complete caches with logs and images available offline.
  • Extensive map options: multiple map sources (Google, Waze, Apple Maps), many map sets, including offline/topo/trails.
  • Deep feature set and customization: highlighter tool with many colors, COs maps, offline data, load/share GPX, and preloaded maps.
  • Valued by geocachers and often described as worth the price; strong alternative to the official app.
  • Active development and responsiveness: ongoing updates and improvements based on user feedback.
Cons
  • Pricing and paywall friction: offline maps and many features gated behind a subscription; some users report removal of previously purchased offline maps.
  • Reliability issues: reports of server errors (e.g., 502/500 Bad Gateway) and occasional instability requiring reinstall.
  • Premium gating of features: some cache types (e.g., Multi, Mystery) and parts of functionality inaccessible without premium membership.
  • Account/signup/purchase problems: signup errors and trouble restoring purchases, leading to inconsistent membership status.

What an outstanding geocaching tool. It's worth every penny for the content and user-friendly setup. And the best thing is, it continues to evolve through user feedback.

Our caching app of choice. Very helpful when hiking.

6/29/2024 Update: I am so happy that the app developer reversed the decision to take away the premium maps from people who had already paid for them. This app is seriously awesome for offline Geocaching. Today I found 8 caches all offline with the descriptions with even logs and images available to me. When the Apple Car Play support is added I might consider paying for the subscription too as there are some additional features I would love to have. Thanks for this new awesome way to Geocache and making Geocaching while offline so much better than the official app. Only 4/5 stars due to my original frustration. Original Review: I purchased the $5 app on April 2nd 2024. Then purchased the $3 premium offline maps immediately after downloading for the first time. Now with this new 8.0 update they’ve removed my maps that I had paid extra for an now say that I have to pay the new yearly $5 subscription. Don’t get me wrong, I can afford $5/year. But this is still fraud. I understand that everything is moving to a subscription model but to force people to pay extra for what they already paid for is wrong! Do yourself a favor and use the official Geocaching app that your $30-$40 premium subscription already gets you and use Organic Maps for mapping while offline.
