Ratings and reviews

I loved this app until I went on a mission to find the lowest point in England (Holme, Cambridgeshire). Unfortunately it does not record below zero (ie sea level). So everywhere at the former whittlesey mere location was recorded at exactly 0.00. So for that purpose it was useless... a complete waste of time.

Does not track progress when not acive. Strarted the app at the beginning of a hike, locked my phone and took it out at the end. Only the start and finish points were logged with a straight line between rhem, not the actual pathe taken.

Quickly calculated the altitude. Started and stopped record between 7100-7800 feet. Only one recording visible. No idea why the App Started recording in town at 2700 feet. Recording did not match my route around town.
