Update: Can’t access pro even though I’ve paid for subscription
I’ve used the free features of the Dyrt for a couple years. I like the app. I signed up for the pro subscription via my ipad and Apple ID to try it out. However, the app won’t recognize that I’ve paid or let me into the pro features. Won’t let me sign in period. Support hasn’t responded. So I’m being charged for something I can’t use. Get the app sorted out!
A developer reached out and was able to resolve the issue. Enjoying planning our upcoming trip to Colorado with the Pro features!

You are not where you think you are.
The app is not intuitive to use and if you are searching for someplace to camp where you are headed to (not currently at), the app doesn’t always (often) put the location of where you are searching in the correct place.
Also, when you first open the app and click search “Near You”, it will pick locations across the country. I’m in SoCal and apparently Atlanta Georgia is very close to me. I tried closing and reopening the app and even reinstalling it and I am still near Atlanta.
You can get the “Pro” version, but I haven’t really found a reason to do so. Plus, once you have purchased the “Pro” level, you constantly get ads in the app asking if you want to upgrade. When I say constantly, I mean every time you click on something, you are asked if you want to upgrade. I paid the money, now let me use the app!
Skip downloading this, it is glitchy at best, the user experience is poor, and there are better apps out there that do the same thing and more. Use them.

Great concept but very buggy
I really like the idea of the app and the trip planner concepts unfortunately the app is very buggy, frustratingly making the app nearly unusable. I really wanted to give a better review but the bugs have really taken away from its capabilities. Even with a Pro membership I still experience the bugs. The app often gets confused that I am of filing when I am not making many functions not possible. I will continue to use the app but if do not know if I will continue the subscription if these bugs make it unreasonable.

Frustrating and Glitchy
Takes forever to plat my stops on this app. None of the Truck stop gas stations I plan for are even listed in your app. Every time I log a stop, the app will not stay on the main road between destinations..instead it plats crazy side road loops. About half of the campsites I found on other apps are not here either. I’ve spent several hours trying to plan a trip from Atwater CA to Phoenix AZ and the map will not let me edit the apps side trips. A 12 hour trip has turned into an 18 hour trip! I bought the Pro too!

Poor photo features and user experience
Simply put, the ability to view photos is terrible. I’m trying to love this app as it has potential but the user experience is tortuous.
Why can’t we view photos in landscape mode? More importantly, why can’t we zoom in on photos where users are posting photos with campsite information booths/boards?
Additionally, I HATE that the app clears out my last active session. Every time I’m conducting a search or researching an area, then for whatever reason I get pulled away (phone call, responding to a text, knock at the door), this app basically reboots when I reopen and have to start over.
Lastly the MOST ANNOYING THING, when searching in a specific area on the map and clicking on a campsite icon, why does it randomly zoom into the map?! It doesn’t even zoom into where I clicked but some other random nearby area on the map?!?! I keep having to zoom out to continue to browse other campsites in the search area.
Simple features would greatly improve user experience but instead, I find using the app utterly infuriating. I’m not exactly sure why this app is rated so highly. I often use other apps such as Campendium, iOverlander, free campsites dot net, Hipcamp, etc. because of simple usability issues plaguing this app.

Response from developer
First, the super zoom bug was fixed yesterday! Please update to 4.0.30 for that fix. I would love to file a ticket with tech and talk to you about the details. Would you please email support@thedyrt.com so I have your name and account details and can see what's happening? Many thanks!
Helpful, but glitchy
I’ve used this app for about a year and a half now and it has helped me plan a number of camping trips. I like being able to see others reviews and pictures when I’m visiting an area I’ve never been before. That being said, lately the app has been so glitchy it’s practically unusable. When I try to search for sites in a specific area on the map and then I click on a specific site to see more details, it zoom all the way in on the map. Which is not helpful at all. All I see is green. When I try to zoom back out to see other sites in that area it usually pops me into a completely different area of the map, a few times it’s dropped me a couple states over from where I want to be.
I just paid for Pro because it was on sale for Black Friday and I’m kind of regretting it now. Looking at other reviews, one from back in April, it looks like this problem may have been going on for a while without being fixed.

Canada
I am from North of the border and cannot enter my city to start my trips from home, why is that?
Response from developer
Hello! Apologies for any confusion, but The Dyrt is not available in Canada yet. We hope to add Canada campgrounds and addresses in the future, but in the meantime, please email us at support@thedyrt.com so we can get your questions answered and you account sorted out. Thanks!
Questionable
While I like the app I’m questioning their affiliation with campgrounds. Why???? We’ll I madeA week and reservation through The Dyrt app to a local large and often sold out campground in Myrtle Beach…. Right on the beach! Upon driving into the campground to check in we were told that this campground is not affiliated with third-party apps and that our reservation was null/void. I had a confirmation number and paid the fee through The Dyrt app. We ended up scoring a really great site and paying the campground directly but due to that issue I am hesitant on using this app to make any type of reservation. I will use it as a resource to locate campgrounds but will contact the campground directly to make reservations.

Canada Not Included
Until you include Canada…. 2 stars for now.
Response from developer
Hi there, while we do not currently offer Canada on The Dyrt, we certainly plan to expand there eventually, though we do not have a hard date for that yet. Thank you for giving us a try and we hope to see you again once we reach Canada!
Great App So Far
Planning a trip soon and saw this, within the first few minutes I’m sold. Easy to use and plenty of spots showing up in the areas we plan to visit. I like that it is quicker than Google Maps and has more isolated hits, less distractions to get to the information queried. Seems efficient and accurate, plus provides contact information for locations. Great app!
