Ratings and reviews

I've used this app for years yet thought it was dead so started looking for an alternative, but they all want you to register/subscribe or pay a lot. Its great to see this app finally being developed again! I love the new version and the updated OS Explorer maps. Amazed you don't have to pay for them. One request - can it be possible to search by location? Sometimes it's hard to find things on some of the foreign maps

One of the best apps out there. Needs UK grid system adding for use with UK maps and also needs to explain how we build maps as it refers to importing custom maps in the app but no info on even building them all in all a good app with a few very minor issue. Edit thank you for the email clarifying the changes .Was a little worried...

Very good app, excellent mapping and very responsive support.

What’s new

2.2.9
~ Fixed an issue whereby the app could crash if the home page 'Current Map' option were selected too quickly after launch
~ Fixed an issue whereby page navigation could briefly be incorrect after completing a map download
~ Improved visual fade-in of the full-screen map
~ The main hamburger menu is now available from the map library import picker page, since the back button was superfluous
