## Description

Version 2.0 is here, with a fresh new look! Check out the new Brag Board, and hiders can now receive a notification when a cache of their is found!

GCA Play is a native iPhone, iPad, and companion Apple Watch app for Geocaching Australia geocachers - built for the field, not the desk.

Browse thousands of GCA geocaches on an interactive map, navigate to them with a live compass, and log your finds without leaving the app - online or off.
