This used to be a great app, but at some point the GPS location and track recording functions stopped working correctly. Now my recorded tracks are wildly inaccurate, making the app virtually useless for me. Very disappointing.

Paid for pro then dev removed features

Was good now doesn't work, recommend try a different app

Dave Ives

Pretty decent app for navigating while hiking. Not so much when navigating while Overlanding. Five stars for hiking. Two stars for Overlanding.

R Coffman

Great App, use it all over SE Alaska

C Wells

This app worked extremely reliably for many years and has helped me on numerous outdoor adventures in the past. I prefered it above all other similar apps because it did not require me to create an account just to be able to use the app. After recent updates it has become completely unusable for me because it keeps displaying a message saying "Internet Off, See Layers Menu". I have confirmed that the "Internet Enabled" option is turned on. Reinstalling, clearing data/cache did not help.

Can't even find the folder on my android device to upload maps. App is junk don't waste your money

Not sure what these guys have done... i recently re-purchased the app (used other backcountry aps before) and have to also purchase the underlying map... what's the point of purchasing the app? So it can read the map that you also have to purchase? Unless I'm somehow mistaken, seems like a better idea to just purchase another app. Very poor communication on this. Might try out alltrails next time - definitely a different one.

Loved this app. Lost all my track info I had saved for years after the migrate thing showed up. Now looking for a new app. 😔

Lisa Vermey

What happened to this app? I paid for pro and I've been using it for years. It used to be great. Got a new phone and went to use it while I was out on a walk and it took a few minutes of clicking through permissions and other nonsense before whatever that migration was that didn't work. Now it seems like the map sources aren't loading and a bunch are talking about subscriptions.. I'm going to find a new hike tracker.
