Unusable

Doesn’t work at all. I was happy with the android version but this is completely useless

Look elsewhere

Clunky features, paywalls for most maps that uses some kind of strange credit system to pay for (why not just tell you how much it cost in dollars outright?) .

Certain functions just don’t work

I can not select tiles for download or use the draw function. Tapping the screen does nothing.

I paid money for this but it won’t work on my iPhone.

Purchased maps no longer work

OS maps no longer work since app has updated

Great app but…

Great app but now it crashes every time I load a track or try to save a recorded track was not happy to lose a 10 track to new park I went to

Import klm,kmz,gpx

So please update the module Import that can import the GPX,KML,KmZ filesa please because I have to use for work

If you have a search bar, it should be useful

Great features, but the crashes are keeping this app from getting 5 stars

Even after the recent update that claimed it fixed bugs on 6/28/23 or so, I still can’t view the map tab, without a loading screen right before a crash. Every single time.

App also crashes if you try to download too many map tiles for too long.

Get on the ball and fix these memory leaks, guys.

Not good

I have used BCN on the Android for years and loved the full FREE functionality. This Apple version is just awful. It is not an “app” it you have to subscribe just to download a map or save a trip. It’s getting uninstalled today and I’ll look for a non-leechware replacement.

Response from developer

BCN on Android has never had full free functionality. Thousands of people have been willing to support the software that they love. Best of luck with whatever you choose.

Lots of capabilities

Addons for parcels in most states.
