Geocaching.com's App for Android OS

Geocaching.com's App for Android OS

I saw this was just released. The reviews in MarketPlace are mixed. Has anyone tried it? Which phone? Comments?

I have it and think that c:geo is as good as, if not better, than the geocaching from GeoCaching.com.

Thanks for the reply! What phone do you use? I have the Incredible with Droid 2.1 (I think). I haven't tried C;geo but might look into it.

I've just gotten the Sprint HTC Evo with Android 2.2.  It is an awesome phone except for the battery.  Battery life stinks.   Switched from AT&T with absolutely no regrets.  Have much better coverage and a full data plan for not much more than I paid for no data plan at ATT.

The first Incredible that I got had a battery life of about 2 hours. It also was warm to the touch. Turned out to be a defective phone. The replacement lasts at least a day - even with a lot of use. I also have a task killer app that seems to help.

Just switching from the iPhone to the Motorola Atrix and looking for alternatives to gc.com.  Read about c:geo and geobeagle.  Can c:geo use PQ's or does it just look for nearby caches?

Joyce,

Yep, c:geo will import a GPX from a PQ or GSAK, but not the PQ directly like the GS app. Select the "stored" icon and then import GPX from the menu button.
