Really disappointed – Wikiloc Outdoor Navigation GPS Review

I don’t usually write bad reviews because I’m a developer myself and I know the effort that it takes to fix all the bugs. But with Wikiloc, I’m really really really disappointed. I bought the premium plan in order to use the “follow me” feature for a hike yesterday. These are the things that bugged or infuriated me: 1. The map is unusable. You can’t zoom on it. So if you are not yet on the starting point you have to use Google Maps to try to reach it. Or if you detour, you can’t use the map to go back to the trail. 2. The app drained my iPhone 6 battery. I had to turn of the “follow me” feature because of it, and even with that the app kept draining my battery. I suddenly had no battery, luckily I was on a known area when I realized. For the devs: you must implement this feature so it uses 30-50% of the battery for a 6h hike, you don’t need to keep using the best GPS position each second, when you are walking you can check the position each 3-5 minutes. 3. This is more subjective, but the app has an old poor design. So I’ve asked for a refund and I’ve uninstalled the app. Devs: If you want to talk to me you can contact me at @fesja
