Reviews of OS Maps

  • Great maps, buggy app

    I’ve used the os app for years and os maps for even longer. The maps are outstanding, but the app is too unreliable to count on. Unlike other mapping apps where you can work in an offline mode, when there is a problem with the os servers, you are logged out and unable to access your downloaded maps. This can be a critical problem, so I consider the os app to be more of a planning tool than something to rely on when I’m outdoors.

    There are several other buggy aspects, but most can be worked around. And as a planning tool, the os app is very helpful. It’s worth having just for the convenience of having the excellent os maps at your fingertips.
  • Love in the USA

    I use this app all the time for my walking in Washington State. All the trails are there. App works amazing. Gaia GPS went downhill after Outside bought it. OS explorer is great!
  • Map download

    Although you can download actual OS maps, which is good: these maps take a very long time to download, in the US 24 hours; you have to scroll to map area to download, so when downloading adjacent areas there is likely to be overlap, so you download overlap areas twice;

    Developer Response

    Thanks for your review GeoHikerCa, and sorry to hear you've experienced some issues! We're working through some major updates to performance, stability and offline map performance at the moment and expect there to be significant improvements over the coming months. Please do keep an eye out for the latest updates. Thanks!
