Ratings and reviews

A good app with offline maps that include hiking and biking trails; can be used without internet connection, locating you on the map. Requires a modern phone and over 1 GB storage for the maps. With no in-app help, not always clear messages given by the app and not always smooth interface, developers respond promptly to messages via Report an issue in the menu; my experience was within a day. Give it a few days (better a week) to download the maps and get it working, as it may take >1 message.

Incredible app. Was a pleasure to plan a trip in the Golan heights. Took a while to figure out which button did what but excellent none the less. 10/10

Excelent hiking app. The developers demonstrate care about the user, replying to comments and mails. The app itself is very useful, helping to navigate trails, showing places of interest along the way. It has the added benefit of enabling user editing, which allows real-time updating of conditions at specific sites. Good stuff!
