Fails to save and records with gaps

Fails to save to a file about a 1/3 of the time.

I like the app but wish it was better and usable for what I need.

In order to cool off the battery

I manually lock/unlock screen when running the app.
Practically it's not difficult to turn the tracking on for some seconds and off for a period.

False trk entries

Several times recently, on both my 7watch and I phone, the data stream generated 2 or 3 false <trk> entries at the end of the route. This kept the program “quickroute” from fully launching, as an error message popped up. One of the users on my Facebook page found these problems when he viewed the gpx files. The files work correctly in other programs though, such as google earth.

Has helped me make race track videos!

Don't usually leave reviews, but this product has been too good to be quiet. Been using the data from my phone via Open GPX Tracker to capture my track runs during HPDE. I love how it's no frills and allows me to focus on my drive. I'll use a telemetry overlay program to extract this, then produce a video that doesn't look canned for other student drivers. I've been recommending this app to anyone with an iPhone that wants to trace their routes. Thank you, Open GPX Tracker team!

Mostly Works but...

crashes after you haven't used it a while when you try to open a GPX file. The only way to fix this is to uninstall and reinstall the app. This means that you can't rely on it where there is no cell reception. Big fail there in an other otherwise successful app.

Fails to save and records with gaps

Fails to save to a file about a 1/3 of the time and has gaps greater than 5 seconds in the logs meaning you cannot use it to upload 360 footage.

I like the app but wish it was better and usable for what I need.

Simple and clean

This app has a very nice, simple design that looks clean and uncluttered. It has all the major information you would expect of a navigation app, in an easy to read format. Great work!

When it works…

Great app. And so grateful it’s free…
But every time I want to view a GPX file from my allocated folder, the app crashes - making the app unusable

Fantastic…at first.

Was great for about a month. Worked in the background so you can still make calls, change music etc but after a month (or 6 weeks) I suddenly started having issues.

When I’d back out of the app (iPhone) and then go back into it, it would either crash or reset the journey back to the last saved file.

Really needs to be sorted out…

Great mapping app, but can be better.

I like that it’s lightweight on battery consumption. It’s easy to start tracking and adding points. The UI is clean and simple. I like that the save folder is accessible from the Files app. Two things that I’d like to see though: 1) like someone else mentioned, a confirmation when you swipe left to delete an entry would be good. Right now, it’s too easy to accidentally delete files. 2) I would like the ability to cache an entire defined area (including all zoom levels) by drawing a box around it. Right now, you gotta do a lot of panning and zooming and hoping that you’ve downloaded the areas that you need. Other than those two points, this is my favorite mapping app.
