The Geocaching Live app for Windows Phone will shut down on June 6 for users of the "treasure hunting" service. The app was first launched in 2013 and allowed users to help find "geocaches" of hidden items.
The company behind the app send emails to users announcing its upcoming shutdown:
Parting ways with a product that we built and many of you enjoy is not an easy thing. The decision to retire this app was based on its current usage compared to the ongoing resources required to maintain it. You can continue to play the game on your Windows Phone by using one of the partner applications we support. Search for "geocaching" in the Windows App Store to find an alternative app.
Windows Phone users who subscribed to the service's paid premium membership will see their service extended by an extra 30 days.
Thanks to everyone for the tips!
