Requests / New User Impressions and Requests
I am excited to learn how to incorporate Geooh but am still learning how to use It, so some suggestions might already be features.   I know for instance that there is a compass view, but I could not find it when hiking today and did not want to keep my noncaching wife waiting, so I switched to a more familiar app.

One request, therefore would be a help menu with easily accessible menus for common features.    I’m still trying to figure out how to get to a screen with a compass arrow that points to a cache.   I’ve seen it, but I can’t find it now.   A help menu might point me to that.

But apart from that:

1.   Dropbox support within the app.

2.  Offline mapping with topo and shading.   This may be possible in the tools you provide but it is not as easy as selecting a map from within the app menu - a feature included with Cachly or Locus.   I am attaching screenshots of  the maps where I walked today, which I am hoping to replicate in Geooh when caching offline.  In both those apps it is an easy process to select the maps

 3.  Given on what I remember, would like be to be able to adjust the size of the compass so it does not obscure the map.   All I need, when I select a cache and go to the map is to have a small compass arrow, with the map and distance.  

4.  Is there any way that downloads can be sped up.   I started to download a PQ (734 caches)     I’m 16 minutes into the process on Geooh and still only at 250  caches.   About five minutes after that started I began to download the PQ on Cachly.   I finished the PQ and then downloaded the cache images.     After that was through I downloaded the PQ in Locus.    It’s taken well over a half hour and downloading is still in process.

I am worried because the app warns that cache images may take longer - does the app download anything more than the images included in the cache description?

5.   Does the app allow users to switch between a web view, the source code, and the internal rendering while offline - a feature I have used in Cachly and the old Geosphere.,
