Topo Map & Hiking Tracker for Negative User Reviews

✓ Not accurateI just downloaded this app at my kitchen table ... haven’t stood up but started a trip, I’ve managed to walk .02 miles and 14 vertical feet.Re drumVersion: 1.1.3

✓ It doesn’t track your total VertEverything is great about this App except that it doesn’t track your total amount of vertical gain. So if you walk up a mountain and down a valley and then back up a mountain again the App doesn’t count the second hill. It’s soul crushing that the App fails to track all your hard work. All the rest doesn’t matter..Mtsurf73Version: 1.5

✓ OutdatedVery out dated; still shows 2019 year🤷‍♀️.HikernaniVersion: 1.1.3

✓ Distance is way offI recently started hiking again after 13 years of being on a cane/walker and have been really excited to track my progress as I go. I have loved being able to show my doctors/surgeon all the progress I have made. However, it appears none of my hikes have been accurately tracked. This morning I stopped to sit for a few minutes and while I was checking my route on the app, my distance kept increasing. When I sat down I was at exactly a mile but when I got up I was at 1.05 miles. The last update notes for this app state that the distance problem was fixed but clearly it’s not and now I feel terrible about excitedly showing everyone my progress. I know it may seem trivial but for someone who was essentially bedridden for my entire adult life, this is devastating. So, thanks for “fixing” this issue..Mvmv2014Version: 1.1.3

✓ Only the timer works right.Tested the app out on a local trail. The timer worked well and was pretty much the only good thing about this app. Local signs stated the trail was 7.1 miles and google stated it was 7 miles even. After completing the trail, this app said it was 8.12 miles. The description says they fixed this distance accuracy, but that’s false. The trail was pretty much flat, I personally didn’t notice any elevation gain, but this app stated there was an increase of 45 over the 7 mile stretch. What confuses me is that there’s a lot of yellow, orang or red coloring for such a minor elevation gain. This needs to be fixed. The app has a lot of promising features, but non of them work..BluejewelswednesdayVersion: 1.1.3

✓ Poor accuracyI did a 2 mile hike yet the app recorded it as close to 5 miles. Not satisfied with the accuracy of this app, I was using a newer iPhone XS Max in cell service with location services on and allowed to run in the background..@Cosmic.PersectiveVersion: 1.0.8

✓ HikingI have done multiple hikes using this apps and the mileage is always way more than what the hike should have been. This app does not accurately track miles at all..Shavell84Version: 1.1.3

✓ Two important missing featuresThis is a pretty good app but it has two features that I think ought to be included: 1) I cannot force the app to save maps when I am home or in a lodge using Wi-Fi. It only appears to save the maps as the developer intended when I am somewhere using cell phone data service, which is not only more expensive but problematic if I’m in a place where there isn’t any cell service. It’s also very unclear how long maps are stored when I do successfully save them. This makes it impossible and potentially dangerous to rely on this app in many situations. 2) I can’t find any way to export the sessions into a .KML or .GPX format so that I can pull it into another mapping program where I plan my routes and save records of old trips. I understand that this app is really intended as an exercise tool, but I have used it in remote situations to ensure that when I am off trail I am actually where I think I’m supposed to be in wilderness exploring using a paper topo map. It’s great to be able to use just my cell phone and not carry another heavy electronic device and batteries on a backpack to validate my map reading skills!.ZarkalandVersion: 1.2

✓ Distance 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: 1.0.10

✓ Doesn’t workTook this app for a try on my 30 mile hike just outside a Major city in Silicon Valley. The map feature worked for about 10 minutes before it went black. There isn’t an ability to zoom out from your route to see how far you’ve been. The whole screen just starts to flash if you do that. To put a cherry on top the app “encountered an error” and erased the entire 30 miles of data from the last 8.5 hours. No apps were running in the background. Nothing else was open. All this app did was drain my battery life.Joe k1020Version: 1.2

✓ Not accurateApp recorded 18.2 miles, but hike was only 14.7 miles (confirmed with garmin gps. App also only records difference between lowest elevation and highest elevation..SnizzarenVersion: 1.0.10
