  • 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

    Today, 2023.07.21, trying to find the location of Fish Lake in Washington, search provides the following results:

  • 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.

    Developer Response

    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.
  • Offline topo maps

    Is what I needed
  • Terrible compared to pro

    I had pro on my android but just switched to Apple. XE is awful. I can’t search waypoints anymore. I uploaded a trip online but I can’t see what’s on the trip from my phone. It kept crashing after trying to open the trip. Why can’t you just make pro available to iPhone?
