Absolute disappointment of an app when you have paid for the premium version. Unfortunately it is constantly buggy, with the tracking feature regularly cutting out halfway through a hike without you knowing. This is despite the app having full permissions for location and background battery usage on a Pixel 8 with the latest version of Android. What else do these developers need for the app to work? Maybe more testing and fixes of this bug ridden app.

I pay for the pro account. The good bits: - high-quality Topo maps for most of Europe. good value considering the OS app is more expensive! -user-friendly interface. -additional layers and acces to avalanche info (excellent for ski touring) - lots of community routes. The not so good: - publishing routes is unnecessarily complex. why not just have private/public option? - no ability to draw a compass bearing on the map. This is super useful for real world navigation. Please add this feature!

Extremely disappointed, I've wasted money subscribing. Recently the app can't find the initial location of my routes on my Samsung S25. It takes longer than 15 minutes, meaning I can't use it to navigate. I asked for technical support and they got back to me very quickly. After answering all their questions they went quiet and didn't reply. They couldn't suggest a solution. Now I've found it doesn't work on my older Samsung S21 phone either. I'll look for something else which works.....
