Terrific App! (5 stars)
We downloaded this app about a week ago and really put it through its paces this past weekend. We love it. The search capabilities are wonderful; the ease of downloading PQs is very nice; and the ability to hold the cache in the Target window while searching for something else in the Search window is awesome. My wife and I are both very glad we found this.

Tried the rest, stayed with geosphere for planned caching (5 stars)
I live in a geocache dense area. Using my premium membership, I can download thousands of geocaches to my iPhone and use the map and filter function to find the closest and best fit cache to find anywhere in my area. This is a good for cachers who plan ahead with pocket queries and want to plan a route. I have also used the app to review caches along a road trip after building a pocket query based off my route from gc.com then using geospher

The one geocaching App that tops all others. (5 stars)
This geocaching application is great. Overall it beats the "official" geocaching program. You really need a Geocaching premium account to use it, but in my case I already do. The interface is very easy to use. I like that you can easily switch from/to the cache you are looking for. This is well worth the price.

The program has a lot of features, and therefore a fairly steep learning curve. Just take some time to re
