It was a good app, but not since this year
Depuis la mise à jour de ce printemps, les versions gratuites ne marche plus. (Je l’utilisais sur ma tablette Android)
J’ai la version payante de base (sur mon IOS), ça fonctionnait bien jusqu’à la dernière mise à jour (mi juillet 2026).
Depuis la MAJ, le GPS ne fonctionne plus s’il y a du réseau cellulaire. Le gps ne fonctionne pas non plus quand le téléphone est Bluetooth avec l’auto…
Bref, on dirait qu’ils veulent absolument qu’on achète la version PRO $$$$…

Functional app, albeit with pricy plans.
Started using Avenza Maps for personal use about 12 years ago after using it on the job for environmental field work and site visits. Overall, a very functional app with a lot more features than I need for personal use.
It’s unfortunate that you’re unable to interact on a desktop with the map layers (features/points/lines) that get created on my phone. It’s clunky to organize these layers on the phone app, tbh, and hard to tell which map sheets the layers are connected to if the map set gets updated (i.e., Back Roads Map Books). Perhaps there’s a way and I just can’t find the right user guide for this.
My one other minor gripe, which would be easily fixable, is to add a Campsite icon/symbol to the placemark list! I’ve written to Avenza twice in the last 5 years to provide this feedback (and I bet I’m not the only one) , but no action. Seriously now - there’s a WiFi icon but no campsite icon? I end up using a specific coloured pin, which is fine, but it makes me think there’s no one on the Blue Marble dev team because a dedicated icon seems like a no-brainer and low effort resolution to an improvement suggested by a long-term customer.
Other than that, I enjoy using Avenza and their map library is extensive.

I want my $50 back!
Wasn’t able to download a single map with an empty library, so I paid the $50 to update and am still unable to download a single map. I have used this app for work for years, but won’t be using it again.
New owner ship ruined app
The new ownership has stripped Avenza of almost all of its utility unless you have a lot of $$$. Sad to see.
Completely Ruined the App
Everything is paid now. You can’t download your own maps or 3 free maps anymore. This app was amazing until someone turned it into garbage. Pro is extremely expensive and not worth it. Change it back to how it was and make it affordable again. NFS, BLM, and other orgs used this service extensively. Stop being greedy…so aggravating.

Great platform, but increasingly greedy company deserves more outrage.
Used to be it was free for up to 3 maps at a time, excellent. Then earlier this year it was now 50$ CAD for the base version, which was acceptable as I thought allowed unlimited maps to be uploaded, still reasonable. Now all of a sudden, I attempt to upload a new map from Dropbox and I’m told that I have reached my map import limit and now have no choice but to upgrade to the 250$ CAD version. Not a limit on total maps at one time, a limit of maps imported. I had imported half a dozen maps this year and that’s all the 50$ gave me, now I’m forced to pay an extra 250$, simply to import maps, which is all I need this program for. So they essentially had me pay 50$ for a trial period. Granted said 50$ was refunded, but this is infuriating, as I do not need a 250$ per year worth of features, but now I’m forced to pay that for what was a more than adequate on the free version. Why are we being charged for a trial run? If we have no choice but to pay the 250$, then just make that a requirement from the start. Don’t make us pay 50$ just to tell us later that if we don’t go to the same place every time then we have to pay 3x what we were charged

Paywalled
Just looking to import a single map and it’s wanting $35. So much for this app.
Boo
I’ve used this app for years for geo pdfs but with the recent update, they have made it so you have to have a subscription in order to upload even a single map. Delete.
Acabaram com o App
App que ERA muito bom. Agora não é possível utilizar de nenhuma maneira na versão free.
Map limit bad for backpacking
The new subscription structure is really hostile. I actually paid because I don’t mind supporting the application a bit. However, the limit to maps you can import is 10. This is completely arbitrary and hostile to users. The problem is that hikers who prepare maps in Garmin or CalTopo typically have a few pages of maps in a pdf and these all count as separate maps. You can’t import a pdf with more than 10 pages of maps now. Remove this ridiculous limit and maybe people would actually be willing to pay.

Grifters
Told me the free trail for the pro version would cancel and then charged me anyways. Cannot find the cancel substitution button on the app. Cheap way to make a buck
Useless
As a long-term casual user, I am very disappointed with the pricing plan change. I have happily used the app for many years for cross country backpacking. I like to know where I am. Now, as a “free” user, the only map I can access is the OSM. This map is absolutely useless. I cannot see the details of this map. As suck I am unable to navigate with it.

So easy!
Thank you Avenza for making it easy to upload .pdf maps and follow them in my map app with a blue dot!
Corporate greed ruins everything
Time to find an alternative
Não vale a pena
Antigamente era bom, mas não vale a pena pagar mensalidade pelo que ele oferece.
Alas, they have gone corporate
Long time user loading my own maps (sensitive areas) but alas downloading private maps now costs $170 a year which is a bit steep. Will search out a more supportive app for my not for profit activities.

Price Gouging Greedy New Owners
Avenza was recently acquired by an investment firm and sold
By the original CEO. Since then they have increased the price forcing customers to pay 4.5 x more than they did prior, now we have to buy the pro version and they took away functions from the plus version. You’ve lost a customer forever and everyone is talking about doing the same. Horrible decision making fueled by greed, thanks for ruining a great app for people that relied on it and loved it for work.

My go to river app
I have been using these maps for years. The accuracy is impressive. The ability to know where we are on the river has saved me from more than just one take-out mistake.
