I use this app for hunting and going to waypoints. The guide me function stopped working. I think Dan and Stephen worked all day emailing me along the way and finally found it was a setting on my phone that was off. Great app and great support.
Maps are good, but UI is confusing and unnecessarily difficult to use

The topo maps are good, especially the high res maps. However, the GUI of this app needs some cleanup. Everything feels about twice as complicated as it needs to be. During a hike, just accessing the distance traveled and elevation can sometimes be confusing because the view heirarchy is confusing. As another reviewer said, it’s difficult to figure iut if you’re actually using your purchased apps sometimes as well. There are tons of map choices for purchase, but in the end this mind of makes things more complicated for little gain. Now one if my biggest gripes. Zooming in and out is awful! Pinching my fingers only seems to zoom the map like 10% of the time! I have to try over and over again just to zoom in or out, and it’s irritating and exhausting. Why? This app has so much potential, and yet the GUI is just too confusing and zooming is unnecessarily obnoxious.

This should not be hard to figure out, but it seems to be at first look. No maps of eastern US until u buy something...when I looked to download specific states maps, they are not available. Hope to have a better review once someone answers my email
I have to pay even extra than I do now?

Even though I pay for a subscription to download high resolution maps, I am unable to select a larger region to download unless I upgrade my subscription. Even though I can still download high resolution maps, I have to select many small areas to download and it’s incredibly annoying. I will let my current subscription run out, and I’ll be deleting this app. This is stupid that I cant select a larger area to download and I’m very upset!

They use old usgs Topo maps. Many over 15+ yrs old so you won’t be able to use a lot of newer roads, construction, etc. as reference points.
Some maps very outdated

I downloaded this app to use in a MA state park and the map failed to show the primary lake in the park which was built in 1975. I now use All Trails!
My favorite app

I’ve never written a review before but this app has compelled me. It functions absolutely flawlessly from my phone with no need to sync with computers and all the headache that comes with a GPS unit. The maps have proved to be accurate and the ability to overlay the Topo and satellite is incredibly useful. When I’m out hiking I put the phone in the airplane mode. And only use about 30 to 40% of the battery in a entire day of hiking and navigation. With a small external battery pack in the same pocket of my backpack as my phone I can easily go for five days of navigating as long as I’m not continuing to room for cell service or playing games at night.
Awesome App

I love this app!! It has changed the hunting game for me for the past two years that I have had it. I wouldn’t enter the woods without it now!! Keep up the great work!
Great

Great. Very useful. Been using it for about a year now and although it doesnt make paper maps un necessary I havent needed one in months. Update: ive been using it for years now. Still love it.

I really like the quality of the maps. Very good detail and is very useful for looking at an area before going. The only complaint I have is the maps load pretty slowly sometimes.
