It is a verygood program. Thank app developers and License holder

Gps always on. Shifty

Apps can offer to just monitor our location just when we are using the app. Vr has opted to refuse that option. Customer service gave me the run around. I found another gps app that is great so bubeye

Overreaching location use

M.G.G.

This app tracks your location all the time, not just when app is in use or in background. Does not give the user the option to limit location use to actual use of app.

Most comprehensive app for hiking/biking

JRS43

No doubt, this is the most complete/comprehensive app for hiking and biking I have found. - Design your own interface including virtually any data you like. - Altitude based on GPS or taken from TOPO info. - Distance, Time, Speed: current, average, moving, maximum, etc…. - Destination information: distance. bearing, time, pointer, etc….. - compass - display information using hard numbers, graphs, or dials - Great maps - ETC. ETC, ETC - Really, too many options to list. This my “go to” app for hiking off trail. You can use the ViewRanger web site to create a route, sync with you iPhone, and follow the route. Or, if you have a .gpx file you can upload to the web site, and sync with your iPhone to follow. Many, many options. When you get back you can upload your hike and view/edit on the ViewRanger web site, create a route, and share with others. Great user community. Many routes available for free.

VR on the Camino del Norte

We have loved View Ranger on the Camino. Easy to use and we don't get lost.

Great app

Amazing app for navigation and outdoor activities. The recent update has made it more useful :)

Awesome

Can't recommend this app enough. I've tried them all. Great UI. Easy to navigate. Accurate. Just about ready to ditch garmin handheld. Battery life great with iPhone 6+

Confusing and difficult to use

Grumpy and tired

Although in town and city it may work well. When off-road or hiking using maps is a nitemare. To bad the app has promise but lacks seriously in this regard. Virtually no help resources.

Good, some bugs, UI needs a complete overhaul

The user interface is maddening -- completely non-intuitive. When it works it is great, but it does have a few bugs that may or may not be corrected in the latest version. I have had it refuse to work (continually crash) on occasion when there is no network connection. It seems to help if you have it running before you go off-grid. That may be fixed, because it hasn't done it lately. It also seems to have some variable limit on the amount of time it will record (silently quits recording sometimes), and on occasion it will completely lose your recorded track after you stop and try to save it. Seems to be a poorly handled network comm thing. Really needs some serious rewrite and hard-core software validation testing. Bottom-Line: Fun, but you gotta take a paper map too if you are deep into the unknown.

Bad

Just awful. Terrible GUI. Nothing worked and no trails could be found. I couldn't even find well known landmarks. Download Motionx-GPS. I just wasted $2.00.
