I'm thankful that an app like this has come about where climbers can share experiences.... but the app itself is pretty frustrating. At least for Android, I can't precisely locate routes, search for climbing types and overall just have to do all the foot work. If anything it's just a basic tool for pointing in the right direction, the rest is up to you too research and put the pieces together.

The Mountain Project website is great, and the app used to be as well- a convenient way to access very useful beta offline, while you're out there climbing. But the app has changed in several key ways. First, you can no longer download individual areas, instead you must download an entire state at a time- all or nothing. And that takes a huge amount of memory, hundreds of megabytes per state. Worse, this data can only be stored on internal memory- the app does not use the SD card, or give you the option of using an SD card for data storage. And the app itself cannot be moved to SD card, since the developers turned that option off. Finally, the app is entirely nonfunctional unless you have those areas downloaded. It's not just a matter of working offline, even if you have great reception with data, the app will not show you any information unless you have that area downloaded. Since I have an older phone with limited internal memory, I've been forced to delete the app because I couldn't spare ~500mb of internal memory for New York State, and the app was useless without that data. So if I want to see MP info on my phone, I have to use a mobile browser.

App provides a lot of quick, good information on climbing routes. Makes it easy to find routes of various grades nearby or plan a trip. Needs a better interface with a menu to clearly, conveniently, and easily access partner finder and account details. Also, haven't seen a way to add photos or information to routes conveniently through app (would be nice to be able to report route issues, post lost/found gear, and other more recent information about areas visited).
