Ratings and reviews

A fantastic app that I use alot for mapping and tracking my hikes. It really opens up opportunities when hiking because you can feel more confident in the routes you are taking. It has some clever light social features such as using bluetooth to alert you when you pass a user, I have met and connected to many people using this feature. Just found it doesn't support wear OS! Please add this support!

I had some misgivings about this app',at the beginning, the main reason being my poor knowledge of the Japanese language. Today I gave the app' a test try and it was awesome. After doing some research, I found it very easy to use. Since signing-up to this app' I have discovered many like-minded outdoor people and have connected with them. I have also used other's hikes to help plan a hike that I did. I am looking forward to a successful relationship with 'YAMAP'.

The worst hiking app I've ever used. Elevation calculation is woefully inaccurate, and it uses a lot of battery. The UI is clunky, unorganised, and unintuitive. And the maps are an eyesore, lacking depth and clarity.
