Been a free user for several years. Finally took the leap to PRO a couple of years back. I don't pay for apps as a general rule...nor do I lightly give 5 stars (I think this is the only one so far). However, I feel strongly that Locus is worth it. It is the ONLY APP I use for my back-country excursions. All the reviews I've read with 3 or less stars are unwarranted mostly user error/not reading documentation on the use of the app or even their phone in a couple of cases...some were merely trolls. This IS A FANTASTIC app. Keep up the great work!!!

Updating: not simple to set up but awesome once it works. Definitely kept us going in the right direction on some poorly-maintained wilderness trails. Very deep program - I have a lot to learn to see what else it does. But, once you get past the un-intuitive setup, it's great, rock-solid, feature-rich and easy to use. I spent a good three hours figuring out how to set it up, and would have failed if my friend hadn't helped. It's not THAT hard but you have to download the map you want, then navigate to it on your phone with the app, then enable it in view, which is pretty dense. It would be nice if when you downloaded it, you have the option of "Use This Map?" But, the ability to set pins, use different folders for pins, attach files & photos to the pins, and record your track is pretty solid. It's a deep program, and if you're going to rely on it in the wilderness, sped however long it takes at home to really dial it in and understand it. I still have a lot of learning to do. But, it kept us from taking the wrong trail a dozen times on this past trip, when you're confronted with multiple animal traces, and one is your trail, this app is helpful.

Hi Lex,
what offline maps are you trying to download? Locus Map offers many maps from many providers... If you mean LoMaps, download them from menu - Locus Store. For assistance, contact us at https://help.locusmap.eu/ticket/add. Michal, Locus team

Been a great app - not only it offered a 'lifetime' licence, map downloads - it was also possible to add maps from other sources and 3rd party themes and overlays But: it will be removed from the store and abandoned from spring 2026 pushing its customers to the new (subscription only) version So all the best for the future, I'm leaving for Cartograph ...
