Stopped working on macOS (M1)
one of the best features of the app had been that one could plan tours on the Mac, which then seamlessly displayed on the iPhone. This is no longer possible! The app now simply does not run/open any longer on the Mac. What a shame - please fix asap!!!!
Apple Watch no worky
Until the Apple Watch support is more stable there is no way I’d pay for a subscription.
We are hiking in Japan and want to follow some GPX files provided by the hiking company and:
1. Have had to start and stop a hike several times when the Apple Watch app acts like no hike is running suddenly
2. No heart tracking via the Apple Watch at all (is this behind the pay wall?)
3. Route overlay stops working on the map and just disappears on Apple Watch
4. Route position randomly stops updating on Apple Watch.
Why these bugs are noticeable but the iPhone version runs fine I have no idea. I would have thought most users would want to look at their watch more often than their phone?
Also the activity recording of the hike is significantly worse than if you just recorded a hike via the Apple Watch work out app. As apples included the watch heart rate, a gps map and splits.

Hello from Graz, thanks for the feedback, we're sorry that the app on the Watch didn't work as you wanted. You are welcome to contact us directly at app@bergfex.at and we will take a closer look. Best regards, Team bergfex
Action button apple watch support:-)
These guys care about their users. They listen and figure out how to address and improve the user experience on their app. Top class for adding one click action button for winter gps tracking with gloves!
Tempting but no
I was very tempted to subscribe because the appearance, including the customised Openstreetmaps map, is just beautiful. Also the app is being actively maintained. In particular I like the small tracks showing in red (in most apps bush tracks can be really difficult to see consistently which makes navigating difficult).
I’m put off by the amount of the subscription, by the data collection (and a policy which protects the company not the customer) and because the search function doesn’t seem to be useful outside Europe.
Also it only seems possible to export your activities one at a time which would make it difficult to export data history should you wish to stop using the app.

Intuitive and simple walking app
I’ve been looking for ages for a new hiking app after my old one (MotionX-GPS) was discontinued. Having downloaded and tried dozens of apps, all of which were overly expensive or push the whole “community” thing far too hard, I finally found this app. More testing to be done, but compared to the others I tried it’s intuitive, has a clean, simple interface and does exactly what I need it to, without unnecessary whistles and bells.
Only comment / feedback so far would be that map options are a bit limited / focused on Austria (perhaps not surprising given the app originated there, I think). Other (type and country) map options would be a welcome addition for the subscription price.

Overall great but...
I use this app for a while now to map my bike routes and find that after every update it is a little less user friendly. The latest example is the way the different locations/way points are shown. It was so easy to move them around if you wanted to move the 3rd stop forward or backwards and this is not so simple now. Also to move the blue dot on the map to a different location got a bit trickier but already with an earlier update. Please don't lose focus on the user friendliness completely as it is a great app otherwise.

Tracken mit AppleWatch?
Eigentlich eine sehr gut WanderApp. Ich verwende sie auch, um Radtouren zu tracken, das funktioniert super. Geh ich aber nur mit der AppleWatch laufen (iPhone bleibt Zuhause), scheint das Tracken zwar vorerst zu funktionieren, leider scheint nach Beendigung die aufgezeichnete Tour aber nicht in den Aktivitäten auf :-( Hier scheint es ein Problem beim Tracken nur mit AppleWatch ohne iPhone zu geben.

Ok. Needs polishing.
App looks professional but needs a lot of work to get rid of the bugs. Would be fine for a free app but should have less errors for a paid app.
