For most people, geocaching involves using the official Geocaching app, listed below. However, there are several others that you may find better or that have features that are cheaper than the official app.
This geocache was so satisfying!
Below are all the best geocaching apps I’ve tried, some free and some paid. Most of them essentially work the same way: log into your Geocaching account to access your information, then use the app to find caches. Any app that has access to Geocaching uses the same map as any other geocacher, meaning that no matter which app you use, all caches will appear on the map.
However, some of these apps have features that you won’t find in others. For example, one might let you download maps to access caches even without an internet connection, which is perfect for those times when you’re geocaching in remote areas. Another might make it easy to filter the caches you see on the screen to hide ones you’ve ignored or placed yourself, or to mark caches that you want to take a closer look at later.
It’s no surprise that one of the better free geocaching apps is the official one, called Geocaching. You can use it to search for geocaches, log whether or not you found a particular cache, and more. This is what I use 99% of the time.
