App doesn’t work

This app doesn’t work. When it tells you to start download it comes up with the words
“initialisation failed” I’ve deleted the App several times and tried to download it again and again but it still doesn’t work.
Very disappointed with it and such a waste of money. If I could give it zero stars I would.

Very slow initial download

I haven’t been able to use the app, as the initial large slow download has not completed

Response from developer

Sorry for the issue. We are working on a fix to reduce the amount that needs to be downloaded first go, but this data allows you to access lots of stuff offline. So fix your app now, either clear the app cache, or delete the app and re-download it when you have a good internet connection. Once that initial download it done, it should be happy.

An Amazing Resource

So much information. Great overview, preparation and planning help, track notes. Thanks for putting this together.

Response from developer

Thanks -- glad you like the App, glad it helps :)

Fantastic resource!

This app is brilliant. A lot of time and effort put in to it to make it easy to use and informative. I love all the extra pieces of information around geology, wildlife and gear just to name a few. Very valuable resource to have when planning a trip

Response from developer

Awesome, glad you like it and all the info. Hopefully it helps you enjoy the track that bit more, Happy walking :)

Great help on track

Really appreciated this. Downloaded all sections prior to departing and then was able to track exact location while walking. Nice and helpful.

Response from developer

Great --glad it helped you stay on track. Nice to be able to just enjoy the amazing views and not worry about how far it is to the next campsite :)

App has been downloading offline docs for 4 hours

This app doesn’t work unfortunately

Response from developer

Hi Ruby, sorry for my late reply, only just saw this. If you clear the cache (or delete the app and download it again) it should be happy. With a reasonable internet connection this download should take about 1-2 mins. So sorry it did not work for you. Maybe try this new version.

App will not finish its download.

Disappointing as the app will not finish its download. Frozen have tried several things will not complete

Response from developer

Sorry for the disappointment and my slow response. This seems to be caused when a file was corrupted in the download, we have added new code to deal with that better. If you clear the app cache (or delete the app and reinstall it) that first page should load in a few mins. Sorry, I know this would have been more helpful ages ago.

Good app with some unique information

Works well, the track profiles alone make it worth the $.

Nice set of short notes and photos.

The hazards section detailing open sections exposed to weather etc is not something I’ve seen else where.

Won’t open

App won’t initialise. Tried everything but it’s useless

Response from developer

Sorry for the hassle and my very slow response. If you still want to try it again, you can clear the cache (or delete the app and install it again) and the download will start again. It should only take a few minutes. Sorry I did not see this when you had the issue.
