  • SMH

    Buyer beware. I just bought this app and I can’t get the app to sync. No maps. Useless.

    Developer Response

    Apologies. Unfortunately, there was a server fault which prevented operation of the application. This was recently identified and corrected, and additional monitoring has been put in place to prevent a repeat of this incident. The app should now be fully functional after performing a SYNC operation.
  • Best $3 I ever spend

    Was worth it just for a day. Going to use it in a few weeks to do the whole towpath.
  • Don't work on ipad

    Bought for iPad - this is an iPhone app. But it should work. Why not? Nope. I tell it manually that I am at mile 58 (harpers ferry) and the amenities listed at that location….. none. null set. nada. Love the website. This is a GREAT service. Not upset if I pushed a little money to the author of the website as it is wonderful. But it no work on iPad.

  • Buggered

    Crashes every time you select a button for services, lodging, food, etc. Only the GPS map option works, which is unnecessary since markers are a mile apart and easily seen on the trail. Waste of money and useless on this trip.
  • Excellent app!

    Great app for finding things along the canal!.
    Need a NATIVE app for Blackberry 10 OS
  • My favorite biking app

    Most of my "long" rides have some component of the C&O involved… this app is a super helpful resource if only to answer the question I usually have: "where the heck am I?" Knowing where the closest H/B campsite is relative to my current location… where the closest "civilization point" is… super useful. If you're going to be on the C&O for any reason, for any length of time, this is a tremendous resource. Worth every penny.

    UPDATE Oct 2012 - I am honestly puzzled by the one star reviews. I've never had a problem with the app, and I've used it many times from mile 0 in DC all the way to Cumberland. Still my favorite biking app, and I wish there was a comparable one for the GAP!

  • Useless

    I was looking forward to using this app while on the C&O. Unfortunately it didn't work at all the entire time I was on the trail so it was useless, a waste of $2.99. Every time I loaded the app it said that it was looking for my location. All of my other GPS based apps worked fine but not this one. Really disappointed.

  • 1.1.1 does not work with OS 6, yet

    And I'm going on a ride today
  • Handy resource

    Great app -- highly recommend it to anyone riding the C&O towpath. Invaluable for figuring out what's nearby and determining H/B campsites on the fly. Even though cell coverage is spotty along parts of the C&O, my network was always available, making this app worth the money. Thanks to whoever put this app together!

  • Excellent resource

    Really good information in a convenient format. I do wish it listed shower facilities for those planning to stay at H/B campsites.
