Interesting idea. Terrible execution.

This app has a lot of problems. At one point it got stuck in a state where I couldn't pan the map, which made it pretty useless. Closing and restarting the app fixed that, but then I set my route and tried to download the tiles, and the download seemed to just get stuck. The progress indicator is more or less worthless. Overall, it didn't seem worth the trouble.

Flaky download

Attempts to download geologic maps &POIs fail a lot. And each time, I have to start from the beginning, rather from the point it failed

Wonderful!

I'm in love with this app right now and can't praise it enough. I ran it on 5 cross country trips this month (iPhone 6, whatever the latest update was) and it worked great!

It does pause a moment in connecting to satellites within the aircraft. Holding it up to the window helps (great suggestion from their trouble shooting info suggestions within the app).

Flying over the southwest had me bouncing in my seat with excitement. I highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys traveling and wants to know what it is they're passing out the window.

I have dreamed about an app like this!

Amazing! Makes flying far more fun, I feel like we're really living in the future... ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

At last!

Love this! Every time I get on a plane and have the chance to look down, I wonder about the things I can see. Finally there's an app for this too!

Wonder why it took so long for someone to come up with it.

Works as intended

Opened app and did the very intuitive tap one place then another and it put a nice wide path of data between locations.
Depends heavily on your internet speeds to load the data in a reasonable amount of time.

The one suggestion I agree with is pulling flight path data, since planes fly a "great circle" rather than a straight line on long flights.

Great for a version 0.X

I downloaded this app during a trip as recommended by a friend. It does what it promised to, though the path loading does take a while but it eventually finishes. One thing to realize is that app consumers nowadays demand high quality and very well-designed UX and UI, if that can be improved upon then this certainly makes the app 5-star worthy. Great work!

It is a really nice app

Grat fun when traveling

Great App!

Awesome work. Love fact you can choose two points and then get path and save data for offline use when on flight and using only gps to see where you are. Also added info does add so much more than inflight systems do. You'll find yourself easily identifying that river you are seeing etc. Really happy I found this.

No good outside the USA

I think they should make it obvious that it does not work world wide. We live in Australia and any flights from here are not covered.
Just use Google maps instead.
