Put them together and you get Ethercache - an incredibly simple yet brilliant new mobile app allowing you to share text messages with your friends - anywhere in the æther.

Ok, you say, that seems to make sense. But just what is Ethercache? It's a modern twist on geocaching wherein you hide something virtual in the virtual world. It's the latest in a long string of incredible new ideas made possible by the continuing growth of mobile computing.
And it's free.
Still can't figure it out? Just download and give it a try. We think you'll love it, even if you can't quite think of what to do with it. At least you'll give us credit for coming up with such a cool idea.

How to use Ethercache:

4) Give your new ethercache a name, and optional message by touching the blue chevron
5) "Deposit" your ethercache in the æther - you're done!
6) Your ethercache is now available at that location for anyone to find.
7) Have fun!

FAQ:
Q: Hold on, where exactly is the æther?
A: Everywhere. Classically (we're talking Aristotle here), the æther was thought to be the stuff that filled the universe above the atmosphere, a dwelling place for gods. Fast-forward to Newton and æther was thought of as a universal material through which light energy flows. There are still a few modern conceptions, but a theory of æther as something physical was abandoned long ago. Still, the idea lives on in modern technologies such as ethernet - and Ethercache.
Q: So, does that mean I have to be an astronaut to use Ethercache?
A: Ha ha, good one. Really, it's simple and down-to-earth. We think you'll get the hang of it and start having fun in no time.
Q: Just what is this thing good for?
A: Ethercache is nothing more than good clean fun. You can use it for a scavenger hunt, to supplement a geocaching trip, or just to have fun with your friends and neighbors.
Q: Who uses this thing???
A: So far, there is a small group of users scattered around the world, mostly in Europe and America. The more people use Ethercache, the better it gets.
Q: How does it work?
A: When you 'embed' an ethercache in the æther, it is actually linked to your current geolocation and stored on a server. Later on, when someone searches in that location, they find the ethercache! So, in order for Ethercache to work properly, your Android device must be Location- and Internet-enabled.
Q: You know, I'm beginning to think this is a cool idea. Can Ethercache link up with other apps?
A: At the moment, there is no integration with other mobile or web-based platforms. All in good time.
Q: Will Ethercache steal all my personal data?
A: Absolutely not. We use and store only your device id and location. And none of the messages you enter are permanently stored on the phone (this may change in the future). Of course, we can't take any responsibility for what you leave behind in the æther!

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew
3 ★You really need to increase your search radius. I search a small cemetary for messages. Found nothing. Walked few yard an placed a message. Did a search then saw there was already one there. Walked a few feet away and neither one came up. Your not going to get many people to use this app if you have to be right on top of an aether cache to see it. Right, now a quarter mile would great. Better yet, let the user set the radius.
1 ★Shame this has not worked for some time Would be nice if they fix it but its been months now and still wont work
4 ★Need the ability to edit or delete an entry. Otherwise, it's a great app.
3 ★Nice idea, especially when combined with a geocache. The biggest problem is that there doesn't seem to be a way of deleting or editing an etherpoint after it's been created. There needs to be a way of creating/editing/deleting with some authentication, and a way of grouping etherpoints together into a group for use in a geocache.
3 ★Maps don't load. Just stays as grey squares. Please fix. Htc one x - jelly bean (uk)
1 ★Map doesn't load, even on WiFi. Can't edit or delete own caches. No updates since 2011.
1 ★stuck in loading evolution 3d
1 ★Force close on blade
4 ★Neat app Just used it to make a puzzle cache.
4 ★Those who haven't should give it a shot.
3 ★Especially if you're a William Gibson fan. But as others have stated, more features would make it much more appealing. Also, not sure why it requires access to my media files. I am not able to cache anything but text. For this strange, seemingly unnecessary permission, I uninstalled.
3 ★This is a cool idea. Map tiles didn't load. The app didn't release the GPS when switching to another task. It seems the only way to shut down the app was to uninstall. I hope the author picks it back up again!
