Adventure Lab

I've enjoyed using this app since it's release. Have an issue with latest update. It now only shows 3 labs when I pull up the list. I liked the ability to scroll through the old list, as it helped me to plan geocaching trips. Also agree with other comments about inability to contact lab owner in the app

A good idea in theory but poorly executed. Awful mapping makes navigation difficult. No way to know if an 'adventure' is completable or not, as there's no way to review or rate the AL unless its completed, and sadly many are not updated by 'creators' if question info changes.

I love playing this game. I would love to be able to add a picture or two. It would be great if we could text message the lab Creator without having to go to geocaching. This game is so great about learning histor of an area. Thanks again

This is a great app and experience. I have been to sculpture parks and historical villages. Simply answer the questions and enjoy the adventure. There is no looking in pine trees for micro containers. Love this adventure app

Good app but very frustrating that only initial co-ordinate of lab caches are shown on geocaching map. Would be great if all co-ords were shown.

Don't know how good but the first thing I noticed is it started using my password as my username and displayed it onscreen. A basic coding errors so I will be removing. It also highlights weak password security... DO NOT PUT A PASSWORD INTO THIS APP THAT YOU USE ELSEWHERE

Nice free activity to do with children. makes walks interesting. Some adventure labs can be a bit pointless when the answers and questions do not relate to where you actually are, meaning you have to Google answers.

A great walk on various trail sections. we loved it. I was at the murals dedication; they were painted by Lowell High School art students under the direction of a professional artist. A recent college graduate, Strider, walked the NCT. He was an hour or so away on the dedication day so someone drove north and brought him and then returned him to where he was hiking.

It works OK, but needs improvements. Navigation to stages is poorly implemented. It needs to work in landscape mode, not just portrait mode.

just like geocaches, adventure labs take you to the most interesting places. Most can be answered from your vehicle.

this was one of the more interesting adventure labs and we found the bonus cache. it does require driving or riding bicycle

most of the Adventure Labs I've done (over 800) have been good fun and full of amazing knowledge. learning useful knowledge about an area

I am no longer able to log in to the app. It just keeps saying login failed. I have tried changing passwords and creating a new account but I still get this message which is a shame as I was looking forward to using it.

Adventure Caches are very educational. I hated history in my school days but now can't get enough of it.

The Adventure Labs are generally a nice addition to the geocaching portfolio, but as with so many caches, the quality of individual adventures can be hit or miss. The app is a big battery drain. The map could use an option to filter out those adventures that I've already completed. There are a lot of adventures near where I live. As is, the map is cluttered with a combination of finished and unfinished adventures.

My rating is based on using my phone, and was the previous version, not the one I just updated to. The app loaded and let me log in correctly, but when I went to load in an answer, it kept telling me there was a network failure. Despite all my other apps working properly. Turning on and off my phone did not help. I ended up using my friend's iPhone and had to issues with that, other than having to inconvenience them. this has a lot of potential, and when it works was a fun little idea.

Adventure lab caches are fun and can take you to some great places where a normal geocache container wouldn't be appropriate. But the app needs improvement. Navigation is terrible. When I plan my geocaching days, I would like to be able to see the stages on a map so I don't accidentally walk by a cache and miss it because I am using the separate app. You shouldn't have to do the stages in order. I don't feel the app is ready for prime time.

A good concept poorly implemented. Don't switch to another app while using it or you'll have to start from the home page again - considering you can click to navigate via Google Maps for example, this is plain stupid. Too many times clicking on a way point and nothing happens - I've had this on more than one phone. Not terribly intuitive either. Regular notifications received of new labs in my area but I don't see anything new. It's a very poorly designed user interface. I've run out of space n.

(+) I was able to complete my first Adventure Lab series. It was fun. (-) I made a stupid mistake answering one of the questions and the app shut down, saying it was having trouble connecting. I had to return another day to complete the series because closing and reopening the app that day did nothing. I'm also not thrilled with the way the navigation works and I used compass on the regular geocaching app to head off in the right direction.

It could be a little more intuitive. Scrub that: it could be a LOT more intuitive. Once you get started it's brilliant, but the first time you use it you may well be frustrated at the lack of initial instructions. It's also frustrating that logs are limited in length and that only the person actually logged in on a device can claim finds, meaning that unlike ordinary geocaches, two or more people cannot share.

This app solves many of the worst problems of traditional Geocaching. No more lost or raided caches. No more stupid lamppost or parking lot caches. And no more rooting through hedges or poison oak. Each waypoint has significance - historical, artistic, or something. A limited number of people are able to create caches so the map doesn't become clogged with insignificant, uninspiring, unmaintained caches. All in all, it's a great app. And I'm sure it's going to get even better with time.

I enjoy the app, but it' s best used with subjects that are truly educational, entertaining or adventurous - and in good taste. Unfortunately, some can be full and involve crowded roads - and each stage counts as a "Find", though the effort and diligence may be minimal. I first thought the AL best suited for national parks, etc., where physical caches are forbidden, but that is not a usage encouraged by the AL administrators.

So, I want to like this and use it for a new locationless adventure lab. I used the app during an event in August when it was beta. Now I can't get the updated version regardless of how many times I uninstall the old version and try to install the new one. My icon still says Beta, and I don't have all the features it should have. Groundspeak is usually really good, so not sure what's up with this.
