8 of 25The app did not work well in my location or for what I needed it for. Just a waste of my $10. Unfortunately
Yet another loser developer who has abandoned the app and his customers!
Need a new version please
Company is gone. Web site is gone. Hasn’t been updated in 6 years. Don’t spend your money on this!
No issues with app
Hello, after the iOS 17 update, the app has a problem, it exits the app when opening the map
I’ve been using this app since 2011 back when I was in high school. Even though I’ve switched to a combination of WorkOutDoors and Gaia GPS, this app still has a lot of my old trails saved. Every year, I expect it to stop working, but amazingly it still works just as well as in 2011. This is despite not having been updated in 8 years and still using an iOS 6 era interface. I don’t know how the developer wrote such a stable app, but this is clearly the work of a genius.
This was a great app. Now it's in a bad need of updating. PLEASE UPDATE!!
