Ratings and Reviews
I know you can do better
I love the app and the concept of being able to turn your phone into an offline tracking system. Soooo cool. There are just way too many bugs. When switching between maps in the layers panel, as soon as you select a different map, the view is suddenly way off track from where you started. Ex: I was plotting waypoints in Jackson, Wyoming and I switched from one overlay to another, when I exited the map selection window, I was magically in Africa. Why… Why… The “enter/return” button on the keypad has no effect when you are trying to search for an overlay or map. I could go on but I’m not getting paid to troubleshoot your app. My platform is the iPhone 12 Pro. Very Very Very Buggie 🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳
Developer Response ,
A developer has made updates regarding switching and map center because I agree it is not proper behavior.
Great app but…
Great app but now it crashes every time I load a track or try to save a recorded track was not happy to lose a 10 track to new park I went to
Great navigation app #1 for offline maps
It’s quite straight forward. I was able to create trails and save them for the future if anything were to happen. I can count on the app working quick and accurately in a scenario in which cell phone services were down.
