I emailed Geocaching support asking if they could give me a free trial to see if it was worth it. They responded like right away giving me a code for a free week trial but it was attached to a year subscription ($40). I subscribed anyways because I guess it’s not too bad and I might be able to cancel it if I don’t want it.

So far, I will keep it since it unlocked a few geocaches around Cal Poly Pomona and at parks near my area. So for me, it’s worth it, especially when it encourages me to to outside and touch some grass.

    I’ve not found it worth it so far. The only thing it really gives me is access to premium caches and while it would be nice, there’s plenty of non-paid caches already around.

      Yeah, especially if you’re on Android and using c:geo, the number of caches don’t go up too much. I think the jump from geocaching app to c:geo is much higher. Unfortunately iphone users will probably either have to pay for premium or use it within the browser because of this.

      But so far, I’ve found it to be worth it if you want to have access to more caches. Maybe you’ve found everything within your area and want to see if there are more available.

        c:geo is so damn good. A bit cluttery as far as the UI goes but eh it just has so much functionality.

        But so far, I’ve found it to be worth it if you want to have access to more caches. Maybe you’ve found everything within your area and want to see if there are more available.

        That’s why I’ve been considering it periodically. Another reason is areas with very few/no caches, you are sometimes wondering if there might be some premium ones in there.

          Yeah I impulsively bought it since I thought it’s a fairly inexpensive hobby or mine and forces me to go outside and be more active.
