Da fehlt mir eigentlich nur noch die Möglichkeit während einer Planung einen zusätzlichen Punkt einzufügen. Was mich aber tatsächlich am meisten stört, ist das Tracking mit Bergfex, bzw. die Anzahl der Daten die nach Abschluss an Apple Health geschickt werden, bzw. die in Apple Fitness landen. Es gibt keine Möglichkeit den Streckenverlauf einer Tour (egal ob Wanderung oder Biketour) anzuschauen. Man sieht auch nur die komplette verstrichene Zeit und nicht die reine Trainingszeit, weshalb dann auch die Durchschnittspace falsch berechnet wird. Bitte schickt doch alle gesammelten Tourdaten an Apple, andere Apps können das doch auch. Nachtrag: Was mir immer wieder auffällt, die Höhenmeter-Angaben beim Planen von Touren stimmen nie mit der Realität überein. Plane ich eine Tour werden mir immer deutlich zu viele Höhenmeter angezeigt. Meine Feierabend MTB-Runde ergibt bei Bergfex 1016hm tatsächlich sind es aber nur ca. 780hm. Die tatsächlichen Höhenmeter habe ich durch mehrere andere Apps, meinen Radcomputer und die Apple Watch kontrolliert, die stimmen recht genau. Vielleicht könnte man dieses Problem bei Gelegenheit auch mal beheben. ### 5/5 — Klarer Vorteil für Alpenwanderungen *2026-05-02* Gutes Kartenmaterial und Planungsmöglichkeiten. ### 3/5 — Slow *2026-03-30* The web app is very slow - they need to upgrade their infrastructure ### 5/5 — Bergfex z amazfit *2026-01-14, version 4.9.20* Wszystko bardzo dobrze tylko czekam na bergfex z amazfit ### 5/5 — Très bon *2025-11-12* Application bien faite et très prometteuse ### 5/5 — Best hiking/biking maps of any app *2025-11-06* At least somebody gets maps right. Garmin, Strava, Komoot and others pale in comparison to the Bergfex maps. Keep up the good work! I’d love to see a few more features like a climbpro alternative, and an action button support on Apple Watch. Can you also make it so the Apple Watch zooms in immediately when you open the map? I’m well aware I’m on planet earth when I open the app on Apple Watch. ### 2/5 — Terrible UX *2025-10-31* 1 of the stupidest UX I have had chance to use. Why I can’t simply cancel navigation with 1 button? No, let me do 8x clicks 🤦‍♂️ Then when planning a tour, instead of navigating me by roads I get just straight line through. Super helpful 👍 **Developer response:** Hello Mattijah, thank you for your review! We're sorry to hear that you weren't satisfied. Please feel free to send us a quick email at ‘app@bergfex.at’. We'd be happy to give you a few tips on planning your route. Best regards, team bergfex ### 5/5 — Teljesen jó *2025-10-25, version 4.9.16* Most először használtam, de teljesen elégedett vagyok. Pontos irányt adott még akkor is amikor a Gps megzavarodott. Bár én a free verziót használtam de nagyon elégedett vagyok. ### 1/5 — Next to useless *2025-10-07, version 4.9.15* Weather part is useless, maps are okay, but planning part is a mess. There are much better apps out there, even for the german market. ### 4/5 — Super App ,lässt fast keine Wünsche offen *2025-09-13, version 4.9.14* Ich teste diese App seit 2 Wochen, ich bin seit Jahren Komoot Benutzer. Die Bergfex Wetter App war schon super und somit war dieser Test überfällig. Ich wurde nicht enttäuscht. Nicht alles ist intuitiv, jedoch mit etwas Übung verständlich. Ich verwende die Polar Grid X 2 Pro zur Navigation und würde mich freuen wenn hier die Wanderung an Polar gesendet werden könnte, so wie es in Komoot auch klappt. Derzeit muss ich die Wanderung Exportieren und in Polar Flow wieder importieren, was das ganze sehr aufwändig macht. Da ihr die gemachten Wanderungen von Polar auslesen könnt, sollte diese Funktion auch leicht zu implementieren sein. ## Frequently asked questions about bergfex ### What does the bergfex: hiking & tracking app do?
