Good, but flawed navigation
miyataguy
The basemap is very useful for navigating gravel and woods roads, however the navigation feature is all but useless because the display is locked on 100% of the time while using. This kills the battery in my iPhone 6s in just a few hours, rendering this functionality essentially useless. If Komoot added the super basic option of having the app go to sleep after a set amount of time and wake up for notifications, then I would give it a 4 or 5 star rating, but as is, I can only use the app in non-navigation mode. This is Still useful to place yourself on the map, but it’s soooooooooooo frustrating to not be able to use the very good navigation functionality.
Free app ok, but don't pay for routes

After test-mapping a long trip route, I signed up for Komoot's lifetime full access to all maps, then plotted two long trips and saved them in my account. The trip routes were in my account for a couple weeks, then suddenly Komoot deleted my account entirely the day before I was leaving on one of the trips. Thinking it was just a bug, I re-signed up, but my routes and subscription were still gone. I wrote support, and got no response. Weeks later, Komoot responded that they never deleted the account, have no record of my payment, nor of me having created or saved any routes, and they refuse to provide a refund. Since they are not in USA, there is no way to compel them to fix the issue or refund my payment, and they seem to know that.
Great turn by turn

I use Strava to record and share my rides. I also use the Strava route builder, but as we all know, Strava is useless if you actually want to ride the route, no turn by turn. I upload the route using my Chromebook and then download theGPS file to Komoot. I then use Komoot to ride the route with full turn by turn directions. I have used this in Europe, the US and now in Australia.
Zig zags

Tried this yesterday and have no earthly idea how it’s optimizing it’s routes. The guidance would routinely take me off a straight long road in favor of zig zagging through small local roads for no reason. Sometimes the voice would say “turn left” when it meant “turn right.” Seems like lots of bugs to be worked out.
