Difficult to use, incomplete
Navigating this app is rather frustrating experience. I’ve tried to make it work, tried to like it. It just never gets better. We all know that any guidebook is outdated the minute after it’s published but some of the guides for sell here are grossly incomplete. Let’s talk about Red Rocks. Neither Armatron nor Birdland are listed, how is this possible? Crimson Chrysalis, Olive Oil, and Dark Shadows are listed but not one of these includes any photos or Topo and of the three, only Dark Shadows provides any description of the pitches. Crimson Chrysalis and Olive Oil just list the pitch numbers along with their grade. Seriously? That’s all? Who would pay money for this?Show lessApp is corrupted or something
Clicking on Certain routes (sun kissed) causes the app to crash. When you reset the app and try to go to the same route again, same thing—it crashes. I’m not going to try anymore. And given that I am the first ascent author this route, it doesn’t affect me, but I pity anyone who is trying to use this app when it crashes.Show lessGreat app when it works.
When this app works it is 5/5. Having all of the I formation for routes and interactive maps is amazing. The filtering within the guidebook makes it super easy to find what I need. Easier and better than any guidebook I’ve used. (Years of climbing and back country experience)
At least 50% of the time it doesn’t work. I open the app to a frozen screen and have to delete the app, redownload the app, log back in, redownload my guidebooks. This makes it unreliable and unusable in backcountry situations. Still works for planning but it will never be a true guidebook replacement unless it can work reliably.Show less
