Ratings and reviews

Hard to tell how good it is. Does it import tracks saved in ViewRanger? When I try to "connect with ViewRanger" on login page it does not do anything! It simply cannot connect my premium account! In the menu you can find now "Ski Resorts" and "Accommodations" for which I see no need to be there. Anyway, in Taho, CA they return NOTHING. What is the point? I perceive this switch from ViewRanger as the switch from enthusiast application to something much more commercial. And finally - subscription price. $34/year while I had all what I need for $4.99/year. OK, good luck with that.

Nope. Not a replacement for ViewRanger. Yes, it saved my previously saved tracks. I cannot download maps for offline use. And I dont really like the maps available for use that I can see. I'm a person who spends at least 50% of my time without cell connection, Hells Canyon is my backyard, i dont like this app nor its interface. Seems more like MySpace for mapping. And the ads are situated to get in the way of use. I've hiked 2000 ft up to a ridge top to get gps, dont lock up my app w/ ads

Latest version is full of bugs. Cannot trust the tracking feature anymore because it will always crash and ask if I want to restart the tracking. I choose yes, but as soon as I open another app (camera) and return, it crashes again. If I answer NO to restart, it restarts! Completely messed up! It shouldn't even crash! Today it took over 20min to obtain GPS signal. But if I opened Google Maps, my position was accurate and fluid. I'm seriously thinking on not renewing my subscription. Moving over.

What's new

In this version we fixed some bugs and made some performance improvements.
