Geocaching

Price: Free

Geocaching by Groundspeak Inc. gives you the ability to find hidden geocache containers around the world by unlocking exclusive coordinates.

If treasure hunting is something that interests you then the Geocaching.com community was made for you. You can take part in the ongoing search for cleverly hidden geocaches around the world. This is the official app that can act as a guide in your hunt. You'll find information on hidden containers in over 180 countries.

The app works off your GPS coordinates and then gives you hints so you can start your hunt. You can even add this hunt to other activities such as walking, hiking, biking, or camping. Just tap on the Find Nearby Geocaches option to get started. Often the first one is a mere 10 minutes away.

When you locate the geocache you mark it as "Found It" to be awarded a smiley. You can also post a note and upload pictures. There are interactive maps meant to track your progress. If you'd rather take a more traditional treasure hunting approach switch to the compass arrow and track it by the distance countdown.

If you save the maps, pictures, and geocache listing you'll be able to access it offline.

Geocaching was updated on Mar. 11, 2013 and currently has 524 customer ratings with an average rating of five out of five stars.

This is an incredibly addictive, challenging, and fun activity to do on your own or with a group of friends. The app is very user-friendly and provides hours of fun.

For: iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad with iOS 5.0 or later
