Ratings and reviews

Just take a photo of the paper guidebook and save yourself the trouble. It's really hard to browse the various downloads in the app. Why can't it have the same search functionality as the UKC website? There are crags labelled as "Available on Rockfax Digital" on UKC that I can't find in the app anywhere. The logging functionality is also easier to do on UKC.

I like the app for many reasons, mostly the weight and access to so many topos without carrying big bulky guides. My only suggestion is to include more accurate names for the crags, to correlate to OS maps, e.g. Hutton roof crags are known as the Rakes in the OS maps. Maybe it could also include a feature to add community (beta!) suggestions about bus, and parking alternatives (e.g. there is parking with donation to HR village at the Church; instead risking lay-by parking).

A bug in the app was fixed very quickly (thumbs up for that!), that's why I revise my review. The app looks groomed and decent; it's confusing that the first time I select a downloaded guide, the map view switches back to United Kingdom even if I went for something different. It's a little disappointing that many crags, esp. in Mallorca, lack pictures. Other than that: nice work!
