Reviews

Lake of support
inkareh

I think it is a long time whiteout any updates. Make it more compatible with plus phones and make it more smooth


Company dead?
stoneyb

Their website is down. Can’t access help or share locations. The app still works, at least.


Best Resolution
Fossilhead

I tried many many gos apps and they are not providing the satellite detail that this app provides. I hope the developer returns to support this app and keep it going. I would subscribe.


Update me! It’s a great app!
SSTSST

I wish the developers would continue to work on this app. It does so many things so well and could be a great tool in the modern GPS app landscape with some updates to sharing tracks, UI/UX, track splits.


Nice

Very useful


Update
J-L B

Three years since update. It’s still one of the best, but it could inspire more confidence with an update.


Update time
Bebalu

Haven’t been able to get a response from developers. Features are inactive.


a lost, dead, frustrating app
Salsawood

Using GPS kit again for sailing after years of no use. Changed track color to show color based on speed, but no way to change it back to solid color. ??! I was glad to see still available but will not purchase for my new phone. Not supported. Help screens and videos do not work, cannot click to see large size of screens in help. Some help pages are not written well, confusing.


Needs an update
Paid by the hour

I’ve use this app for for many years and it’s been really helpful. But it’s concerning that it hasn’t been updated in two years. Also, significant sections of the Lake Tahoe rim Trail in California and Nevada are missing. This is a popular trail and should be shown on the Topo maps!


Need updating
Tankenka1

I love this app and prefer it over my Lifetime Trail Maps app but it needs an update badly.
