Painfully slow loading, clunky interface, very basic functions.

Vin Wray

Horrendous app to load and activate. Just gave up with it.

andrew Boorn

I have this App(paid ) on my phone , after spending an ENTIRE afternoon trying to get footpaths or even OS maps on my laptopI have failed, it comes up as installed but thats all I get, this is most frustratingg.

Dreadful! Completely unfit for purpose as a serious GPS app for mountain use. For example, OS grid references are not displayed for current location (which has major safety implications) and setting points of interest / waypoints appears impossible. This appears to be a dumbed down app which looks pretty but is actually pretty useless. A sad reflection on the current state of what used to be known as the world's best national mapping service.

Hugh Tooby

Brilliant app. Very handy when hiking. Only issue I have, there isnt an on screen scale, is the next bend in the path 100 yards away or 100 miles. Please add this feature, once this is done it will be a 5++ star app.

Daniel Ward

I have found the app to be very good. However on Saturday it starting "sticking" on a 25 mile walk that I was tracking before seizing up about a mile from the finish. Fortunately I was able to shutdown the app and then save the tracked route (minus the last mile). I wonder if it this is a known glitch. I have a Samsung S10.

Barry Knight

Good maps but the app is hopeless at tracking. While walking, my route is being recorded and shows on the map but then when I click to finish and then save it, it shows only a fraction of the route. It's happened on all but one of my routes so I deleted them as they weren't of any use.

Jill Gordon

The maps and ability to download them combined with the gps position is great when it works. but i usually have to restart the app multiple times to get the map to render at all.

liam ?

Paid for a years premium. Worked for a week now says I'm not premium, shows me nothing on the map and won't let me contact anyone.
