Pocket Earth PRO for Negative User Reviews

✓ Ça marche plus!Depuis cette mise à jour, l'app ouvre et se referme tout de suite! Ouache!.Bonny-ReadVersion: 3.1

✓ Cannot import GPX filesThe Tools / Import function does not work (on IOS 17). The files can be seen when viewing iCloud files and individual files can be selected. But there is nothing to request import. Pity, as the maps are very useful but the App is rendered useless for following a route by inability to import files..PoloniusMaximusVersion: 3.8.4

✓ It’s ok, but could be betterApp helps in many cases, but the navigation around the app is often confusing. It’d benefit from a UI overhaul. Where do I get my recorded tracks from? How do I even record a track? What is my current accuracy? Etc. These things make you wonder if the developer(s) has/have used the app in a real application at all. I paid the $8 for the topography upgrade, but I don’t get topo maps for all the areas. In fact, many areas seem to just use OSM..InvenioVersion: 3.6

✓ Used to be great but will not fix synchNice app, but synch between iPad iPhone seems to be broken for a long time. I’ve reported it, and several others have commented on their help forum. Much less useful if cannot view and plan on iPad and synch before heading out. Today I reinstalled on iPad and turned on synch, but now I just have no bookmarks..LexicerVersion: 3.8.4

✓ Bring back a smaller GPS ArrowI would give it 20 stars if I could as it is a fantastic off-line app, EXCEPT: The GPS arrow is now way too big and grossly oversize and hence gives a hugely inaccurate reading as to one's exact location. I have the map accuracy set to 10m but the GPS arrow is about 1km in size in relation to the scale of the map, and hence the arrow not only blocks your exact location but makes it hard to determine exactly where you are with any real accuracy. Furthermore, the absurdly oversize GPS arrow also distorts the distance to your destination, because the size of the arrow means the arrow gets to the destination at least a kilometre before you actually get there. The ridiculously large arrow makes no sense in a visual way either: it has probably been made huge so it can easily be seen, say in direct sunlight, but that reason is illogical because the map detail is so light and printing so small in relation to the giant GPS arrow that all you can see is the GPS arrow and not the map. Geez, put the GPS arrow back to a proper scale and context and I will give you a 100 stars!.NIVIDVersion: 3.3.1

✓ Warning - No Turn by Turn Nav on imported GPX files.Although this is a nice app it does not do one key thing it would lead you to understand it will do - YOU CANNOT import a full GPX track and navigate along this route using Turn by Turn navigation. I bought it, spent three hours figuring out this shortcoming. You can create a route on the app and navigate that using Turn by Turn, but you cannot import a route you have created on your computer and import this for Turn by Turn. This made the app useless to me, so have requested refund from Apple. Back to drawing board..WhitekiteVersion: 3.4.6

✓ Navigation bar failureThe maps are excellent and the tracking of your location is excellent but if you lose the navigation bar it is a Herculean effort to get it back again. If only it was straight forward and easy to find. Also, when trying to get it back you end up adding new routes and generally getting very frustrated ..Dubhe71Version: 3.6

✓ Maps out of date; customer support nilI generally like this app but its maps are not refreshed in any regularity. I understand that this app pulls from other map sources - but those sources have been updated months ago and they are still not reflected in this app. Emails to the developers fall into a black hole. How about some support? This app is invaluable for those who want to travel off the grid but with bad data it is a risky proposition..InternautVersion: 3.8.1

✓ Sync has stopped workingI’ve always loved this app for its offline trail and navigation support. But saved routes and points of interest are no longer syncing. I can’t compare notes of recent hikes between my devices or plan something on my iPad and then leave it behind and use only my phone or watch. I’m also scared to upgrade my phone, not knowing if my favorites will be carried over. There’s no way to contact the developer or get support, so I have multiple backups of my Pocket Earth history and am looking for a replacement app..GeekattyVersion: 3.8.4

✓ Love the app.. but..I have used this app for years and I really like it.. however, I recently found an issue trying to find an offline map to download, emailed the developer 3 times over the course of 1.5 months and there has simply been no response. So I’m about to leave on my vacation and I’ll be map-less.. guess I’ll be trying google maps offline for this trip..C FarberVersion: 3.6

✓ Not bad...I've only just started using this app and it is certainly very well presented. However, I have yet to find a search feature. If you want to go to Bristol, for example, it's fine if you know where Bristol is but otherwise there doesn't appear to be a way to find it (or any other place, of course!) I thought that was pretty much what maps are supposed to be for. Perhaps the feature is so well hidden that I haven't found it but I want that sort of feature to be pretty much intuitive. It's also not terribly clear how you go about downloading all the maps you need. I thought that by installing all of "England", for example that I would get, well, all of England! There certainly does seem to be a few detailed maps missing, though. Perhaps, as another reviewer has commented, this app will mature. For me, it had better do so pretty quickly or a cheap £2.99 atlas from Tesco might have been the better choice..PiglipsVersion: 1.1

✓ Pastes from Clipboard when Run, No Offline RoutingWhy does it paste from the clipboard when launched? That’s a big security issue. Offline routing is no longer possible — some areas have no cell service. This defeats the purpose of offline maps which was a great safety feature. This was one of my favorite apps for being able to download maps for offline use..EastmarchVersion: 3.8.4

✓ Ok, but wrong footpaths.These maps not good for walking as most of the footpaths are wrong or missing. There are also footpaths added across private land, this could cause issues if people try and follow them. Also lots of other footpaths are missing, not just a few but loads. It’s good for a very rough guide if you want correct footpaths by OS maps..R0bustVersion: 3.6.5

✓ Offline functionsNeed to be able to plan a route off line.Alsn1macVersion: 3.6

✓ SuperDoesn’t show my position anymore on my new ipad. It Cannot follow my position. Even if all the settings are ok it doesn’t work. Ironically it works on my iphone 6 with no wifi or cellular connection. What is wrong????????.Bass is the guideVersion: 3.5.1

✓ Impossible to navigateCannot pull up maps that I saved! Especially dangerous when you are pulled up on the shoulder of a major highway!.DondeboehVersion: 3.6

✓ Was good, now continues to drop outThis was my “go to” map and GPS program because of the offline capability and tracking. Unfortunately since the last update (2 months ago Sep 2022) the app continually drops out/shuts down and stops tracking. 😫😩😤😠🤬 This is extremely frustrating for a previously outstanding program! Hence my giving it only 2 stars Please, please please fix it! Having an offline route calculator would be good too.Windy Hill of TazVersion: 3.8.3

✓ Not bad butEvery time you zoom in say to see attack name the track name is , are been smaller really defeats the purpose of zooming in and therefore makes maps super hard to read.Duke3514Version: 3.6

✓ So-soI downloaded this app to get a satellite view and still haven't been able to get that. The offline map is great, but really the same as any other map program..Beanr1Version: 3.3.1

✓ Unable to restore Topo map purchaseThis used to be a great app, but now it’s impossible to restore the Topographical information that I purchased. The developer does not respond and there is an error each time I try to restore my purchases or even buy it again. Needs to be fixed!.Light StevoVersion: 3.8.1

✓ Great app, woefully out of date mapsWhen I first found this app, they promised to update the data every couple weeks. A few years later and I’ve found that updates seem to come 6mo apart or worse. Given that the maps are derived from OSM, the maps are being improved *daily*. I just looked at an area that I know was updated months ago with more detail, yet even after updating the data is missing. I’ve contacted the developer in the past and when they bothered to respond they gave promises of updates that then failed to materialize. Very disappointed..OmegaHackerVersion: 3.5.1

✓ Pay & pay & pay againWhen it works, it works great. It can show your location on a map even when there is no service, using the built-in GPS, provided that the relevant map has been previously downloaded. The problem with this app is that it does not respect family sharing, and if one gets a new phone, ownership of the app is lost. Restore purchases does not work with this app. If you get this app, you will need to re-purchase it for no discernible reason..KfOtmfVersion: 3.6

✓ DisappointedOn first using Pocket Earth I was very impressed but since May 2018 tracks have stopped recording efficiently and the app closes unexpectedly. I have tried contacting the providers and had only 1 response with no resolution to my problems..ChatterannVersion: 3.6

✓ Cannot download mapsHave found this app to be excellent and very useful. However since I have been using it on an iPhone Xr I have been unable to download map content. If I open the map download screen it’s just a blank field. Have tried uninstalling, turning phone off etc. Have also contacted GeoMagik regarding this issue but have had no reply. Would appreciate some feedback from the developers please..GeoWayfarerVersion: 3.6
