Charged me for upgrade, before I even used it
I have not used the app yet. I just downloaded it today but it shows a charge for an in app charge of “Pro” version. I definitely did not sign up for a PRO version when I’ve not even tried it yet. How is this possible? A park ranger told me about the app and I downloaded it, free version yet I was charged. Why? I tried to report it to Apple but they show nothing to refund. Go back to purchases and it’s there. Is this a SCAM? How can I be charged for something I did not get?

Response from developer
The “Upgrade to Pro” button at the bottom of the screen is optional. Forest Maps is a free app. If you choose to upgrade to Pro, you’ll have the ability to download maps for use when you have no internet connection.
Absolutely reliable!
Absolutely reliable for accuracy, used it for logging last year. Kept me on public land within 100ft. US Forest service even came by and warned me I might be on private property but I busted out the app and showed him my position and was good to keep logging! I ended up paying for in app upgrade, it’s my main phone map and I absolutely recommend it!

Excellent app but one suggestion
Love it for reasons that this can do what Avenza can’t, however, if this app could do what Avenza could… area calculation etc… it would be the superior app and I could get rid of Avenza.
Keep it up!
I found this app through the developers other app “Number Shield”
This one is also awesome and is so much easier than going through the forest service to get their maps and stitch them together
I subscribe to Pro to support the developer. They seem to have a knack for making simple and quality apps that solve a basic but necessary problem.

Complete garbage
App doesn’t work properly with 100Gb fiber, let alone in the forest. Trails aren’t even close to USFS maps. Don’t bother.
The BEST.
I off-road a lot. I’ve tried the other map makers and yours beats the snot outta them. I tell everyone to get your superior maps.
Needs updating
There are areas that are no longer forestry areas. Especially SC. Please update. I thought I was on public land but found out I was actually on private land.
Absolute Best
I use OnX hunt and have tried other similar Apps for field use both professionally and recreationally. Forest Maps app is easy, simple to use, accurate, and very well developed. The entire array of maps are downloaded and functional so they are already available. I have ended up using this app more frequently vs it’s competitors due this fact. I can use this App in the field without prior downloading of specific areas or any other planning. It just works all of the time. I wouldn’t change a thing about this App.

Useless app. Maps are outdated
First thing I did was compare this to the official forest service map app (that they’ve broken and can’t download for offline use) looking for an alternative. Maps on this app are outdated. Shows FS roads that are closed. Easy way to get a ticket driving down a closed road. Same as Gaia.
Great app
Only thing I wish is that there was a browser version so that I could zoom in and write notes about where I am going to remind myself of details
