Ratings and reviews

The markers covers the map a lot in the newest version. Could those markers be made smaller? The description box is also intrusive occupying the half screen, darkening the map and without reason zooming out. The idea of downloading maps offline would be good if you were not forced into downloading the whole city. What about only downloading parts of offline use that you actually visit?

Not sure why an account is needed? The paper pamphlets have the same (local) information available on them without some arbitrary need for an account? Edit for dev response: The key word being "if." If I don't want to scan the checkpoints or participate in a competition I'm still forced to create an account to use the app. So there is unfortunately no choice for the end user as your reply insinuates. That said I think hittaut is a great initiative and very fun to bring the family out to.

nice "place finder" app, not really orienteering, but close. I find some of the control points too easy to find.
