Ratings and reviews

Not great for walking. Specifically: (1) App claimed I was offline when I had data. Every other app on my phone was using data fine. I think the app has disabled use of roaming data even if you have it enabled, which it shouldn't do. (2) App could usefully show closed sections of trail directly on the map, rather than linking to a page with about 15 bullet points that say things like "closed between big rock and little cave", which are really hard to locate back on the map!

The apps got alot of good info but it's buggy, clicking somthing on the map can shoot you across to something else you didn't click on the other side of the state, it gets frustrating and make the map feature useless. Also the great North walk is missing sections and is broken up by each area, it would be better to have it as one long map as everyone breaks up this hike into different segments.

It's ok. There is a lot of information but the filtering ability is limited. What I'd like to see to get this to a 5 star rating is the ability to input ages and abilities of travelers. So if i wanted to go on a bushwalk with a 5 year old or an old person who doesn't have the ability to handle long and arduous journeys, I can find those walks and spots more easily.
