### 4/5 — Good app, needs work

*2023-05-24, version 1.19*

Good, but could be better.  Filters to search by circuit would be great.  Also have an issue where even after paying for the 5+6, I can only see 7+8 at most areas.

### 1/5 — Nul

*2022-02-24*

Complètement nul cette application.
Il y a rien, alors quel est le but de faire cette application ?

### 5/5 — Great

*2021-10-19, version 1.18*

Great pictures for most boulders, supplements the book very well

### 1/5 — Not a replacement for the real book

*2021-09-11, version 1.18*

This app is not well designed nor fully featured enough to replace the real books. I was excited at the idea of not having to bring a physical book with me. Unfortunately there are a few flaws that make it not particularly useful at the crags. Firstly the app requires an internet connection - there is no option to pre-download the information and use the app offline. This is an issue if your signal is poor in the forest and the pictures are not loading. Secondly the map feature does not tell you where the boulders are. This app may help if you are already very familiar with font, but there is so much more useful information in the real book that helps you navigate your way in font and the app does none of that.

### 1/5 — Really poor

*2017-08-16*

Just three sectors over a hundred. No topo, just boulder names. Useless as hell

### 3/5 — Géo-localisation

*2016-01-01*

A priori pas de Géo-localisation ce qui enleve une grosse partie de l'intérêt par rapport à la version papier.

### 1/5 — Bought guidebook and app still costs $

*2015-04-04*

As my title states, I bought the guide book but to add the index to this app, it costs an extra 7$. Mildly infuriating in my opinion.

### 4/5 — Good so far...

*2012-04-24, version 1.0*

Nice app, well laid out and easy to use. Only contains info for Petit Bois and Rocher Canon so far with Apremont as a 69p download. Will be great when more areas done. Hope they don't all cost 69p though or it will cost far more then the guidebook!!

### 1/5 — Nul !

*2012-02-24*

Pas d'interface en francais. Appli gratuite mais finalement payante pour avoir les sites (3 sites seulement). Bref sans aucun interet.
