Ratings and reviews

Fails to record tracks. I start recording a track, put phone in my pocket, look at phone half an hour later only to realize it hasn't been tracking at all. It just reacquires a new GPS fix and draws a straight line. I've read forums of people reporting this problem going back years with no concrete fix. I've tried every suggestion I can find. The fact that this is still happening tells me this app will never work properly. Too bad.....I definitely would have paid for the premium version.

The smartphone app is wonderful, so I don't understand why the smartwatch app is so inadequate. I used it since my first smartwatch (Tizen), at the time it seemed wonderful. Many years has passed and nothing changed, this one is identical to the old Tizen app. In the forum there are plenty of suggestions, but it seems there is no interest in improving this app. Modern smartwatches have barometric altimeter and compass but these sensor aren't used at all. It's a real shame.

I was looking for a nice hiking map for CZ, this app on the phone is great, but I need to use it on my watch aswell as I don't want to take out my phone all the time. One feature that I miss the most is that is doesn't use my watch's compass sensor (like GMaps do) so I cannot point to a direction I need to go on a crossroad. It would be great app if it used the compass and be a bit smoother.
