Munzee: How to Leave a Comment Without Rating the Munzee

If you, like me, prefer not to rate a munzee, here's how to do it on the app:

Hunt for the munzee, then Capture it.

The next screen asks you if you would like to "rate this munzee". Choose Not Now.

Tap the Hunt button and view the map.

If you are a Premium Member, tap the  Apply Filter button and toggle off the Hide captured munzees option

Your captured munzee should now appear in red on the screen.

 Tap the grey bubble to bring up the details

 Click the Journal button

Click the + sign.

The default option is General Comment. Leave your comment and submit.

Instead of General Comment you can choose Needs Repair, Unable to locate or I found it!. Do not choose "I found it", you have already recorded your find. If you choose "I found it" you will have to rate the munzee.

Video that represents geocaching for me

This video struck a chord with me.

Kissing Munzees

Kissing in Marden
6 kissing-theme munzees were planted on the Kissing Bridge Trailway yesterday.  I'm hoping that people will like them enough to leave comments.

Geocache ownership is more satisfying then Munzee ownership

I planted a few munzees and geocaches lately.

Here are comments received on 3 new caches placed this week:

The captured munzees I placed in the same area - no comments. Which suggests to me that munzees are generally not exciting for finders. Geocaching is the meal, Munzee is the popcorn snack.  It seems that it's easier to comment on the quality and flavour of the steak but tedious to write something about each piece of popcorn kernel consumed.  
 

Munzee generators that make munzeeing easier and more fun

Two generous munzeers, DFX and thejoker have created databases that make munzeeing more fun.

Munzee GPX file generator
DFX has created a database that will generate a GPX file, a Google Maps preview or a Garmin POI (GPI) file. You can exclude your own munzees and your captured munzees. You can include special munzees and mark them as special. I love this database. I can save my iphone for capturing, saves battery life plus my GPS is so much more accurate.

Today I went out for some munzeeing and completely forgot to check my cell phone for battery life. It was down to 40%. So I shut it down and used my GPS. When I got to ground zero I used the cell phone to capture and to leave a comment then shut it down again. Walked a  couple of kilometers and captured 4 munzees and still had some power left in the cell phone.

Munzee Skin Generator
Thejoker has created a database that generates a skin from an image of your choice. You incorporate your munzee QR code by pointing to the undeployed section of your user page. Click generate and you get a cool munzee to deploy. I created the one below using the generator and an image of aged wood.
