The new update is great! Thanks for bringing back the table mountain maps! However I still find the explore mode a bit complex, seems like theres a lot happening. Overall, I’m very impressed with the app, it’s very helpful!asiyepu

Thanks for the kind review and glad you enjoy the Cape Town trail maps returning. Here’s to more exploring!Great hiking app!
Great app. I love the information it provides on each trail and the offline maps feature. Great place to look up and explore different hiking trails in your area. It’s a bit hard to find in the Apple store if you only search the name forgesophiew829

Currently no landscape view. This is a very basic need that should already be working. Needs more work.Shaka

Hi there. Thanks for taking time to rate and review the app. By landscape view do you mean the map doesn’t adjust when the phone orientation is turned to landscape position?
