Topographic Maps & Trails for Negative User Reviews

✓ Pretty useless as a mapIf you are looking for a topo map to use while hiking, save your money and keep looking. If you try to zoom in to any scale small enough to actually be useful while hiking, you lose all topo details. I couldn’t get any smaller than miles without just getting a green screen with roads and trails. It may be great as a tracker, I don’t know because it is useless for what I want..Snelldog 5/9Version: 1.2.8

✓ Incorrect mileageGreat looking app, but I used it once to a hike done on a trail and the mileage was very far off. The hike was 14 miles round trip, but this app counted 24 miles. I trusted it to show my location accurately, but would not trust it to know how far I have gone or what is left on a hike..JpnkflydVersion: 1.1.5

✓ Absolute waste of 5$Bought this app for the soul purpose of using the topography feature. Neither map shows any elevation lines, height or anything of that matter. Identical to the standard apple map layout. It does show more rivers and streams than a casual map would. Ive tried this app using my wifi, in different locations, and I've even gone to the extent of downloading a map to see if it changed anything. It doesn't. Very disappointed… do not waste your money. Learn from my experience..Lucas473Version: 1.2.7

✓ Not there yet. No way to see and manage downloaded mapsNo.Hawkeyed70Version: 1.2.4

✓ It’s OKDownloading a offline map couldn’t be any harder, so many other apps where you simply download the map instead of playing the screen recording game this app requires..Quackman2Version: 1.2.10

✓ No distance scale and limited zoomThis is not a product for serious users. I’m moving to Gaia which seems a better fit for me. For me a waste of money. I did get a speedy reply from my email questioning the lack of features however. That is the only reason I give two and not one star..Will.VTVersion: 1.2.10

✓ These are not USGS mapsThese maps are hard to read and are not USGS 7.5 minute topographic maps. False advertising..BiggreenpinetreeVersion: 1.2.11

✓ Good maps and downloading but big drawbackGreat overall app and maps but doesn’t have a compass feature or orient the map to heading direction. This makes it very hard to navigate in the back country..Bobbysky1Version: 1.1.5

✓ Useless!I wanted to see a map of elevation in my local area, but this app is useless! I can see elevation lines but there seems to be no way to actually read the height. It could be that the numbers are extremely tiny, but there is also no way to zoom in because the map disappears when you zoom in too far..Dougs5555Version: 1.2.5

✓ Mileage very inaccurateCould be a very good hiking app. I Like most of the features of the app, but one major issue. The distance mileage recording is way off. Not even close to accurate. What’s the point is it’s not even close to accurate. Fix that and its easily a 4-5 star app..R.J.BobVersion: 1.1.5

✓ BrokenI’m on an iPhone 5S and this used to work as long as location services was OFF however i recently enabled it and now the app starts to load and switches to background. Every time i launch it it does it again. The app is now wilorthless.Dhvndieh12376Version: 1.2.9

✓ Works Great When WorkingBeen using the App to track my hikes since 2019. Wanted to achieve 1,000 miles in a year but sadly lost approximately 200 miles when the App stopped tracking after about a mile. I depend upon accurately tracking my hikes to get donations for homeless and disabled veterans. Losing miles means losing donations..M60MUDDVersion: 1.2.4

✓ Doesn’t zoom in enough and no offline mapsTried to download offline maps and even if I tried small areas I couldn’t get it to work. Price is good and developer responds to emails..KlakeakVersion: 1.2.5

✓ Horrible on Apple WatchThe whole reason I downloaded this app was so I could see the topo map on my Apple Watch to not have to get out my phone at every turn. Shows time, distance and elevation gain. No map. No other stats. Very under developed for Apple Watch. Don’t use if you’re looking for a watch app..Kristinaw82Version: 1.2.4

✓ Poor resolution and contrastPoor resolution on satellite, poor contrast on topos. No function to locate or mark waypoint. No way to download maps for offline use....like one might need while hiking..BattlinbillVersion: 1.0.5
