### 3/5 — Glitchy

*2023-10-11*

The app is great but glitchy. In the challenge section it doesn’t allow you to check off the mountain as you need to check it off and then get out of the app and reload it. Also, needs to be updated to include Swede and Buck Mt Fire-towes which  is NOT on the challenge list!!

Please update app as I do pay for a subscription.

### 3/5 — Glitchy

*2022-11-10, version 10.5*

The app is great but glitchy.  In the challenge section it doesn’t allow you to check off the mountain as you need to check it off and then get out of the app and reload it.  

Also, Swede Mt Firetower is NOT on the list!!

### 3/5 — Issues with Subscription

*2022-07-03*

I purchased the yearly subscription but cannot access any of the paid features such as downloading the maps.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2022-06-14, version 10.5*

IT’s unresponsive most of the time. Ton of glitches, can’t download the off line map. Glad I only spent 2.49 for the pro version. They should pay you to download it. Just awful!!

### 1/5 — Unable to restore purchase

*2021-09-23, version 10.0*

I paid for the year subscription but an unable to restore the purchase through App Store. Waste of $15.

### 3/5 — Decent map

*2021-09-20*

Decent map of the area showing key features, but it feels like a lot is missing… links to AMR/Loj information, links/hours/availability at accommodations and eateries, trail information/reviews/conditions, etc… just seems like there could be more information there.  

My chief complaint, however, is that there’a  no way other than these reviews to leave feedback, and no way to delete a review in app for a mountain… reason being, I started reviewing the high peaks I’ve completed so far, and it’s put numbers on the reviews according to the order they were reviewed.  I’d like to delete/reorder my reviews to reflect the order in which I hiked them, but there’s no way to do so.

### 2/5 — Somethings wrong

*2021-08-31*

A friend and I both downloaded the app but his is different. He can track hikes, I do not have that option (the red button on the map view). We both have iPhone 12s with the latest iOS.  The “account” pages look different. His app has 4 buttons at the bottom, mine has 5 (same 4 + “scan”).  I guess I will delete and unsubscribe because app support appears to only be through Facebook….ans I don’t do that crap. If I can’t track a hike, then this app has no use for me. It looks like it could be a decent app (at least for my friend) so I’m disappointed that it won’t work for me.  Mobile hiking maps in the ADKs are surprisingly few, so the need is there.  Good luck, Barkeater.

### 1/5 — Lost all challenge progress in new update

*2021-08-12, version 10.0*

Love the app but after the new update I lost all my challenge progress from before.

### 1/5 — No password reset?

*2021-08-05, version 10.0*

Was excited to try but after downloading found that there was no way to reset the password. And the link to the developer site is just to the app download. Very strange

### 2/5 — Lost all data

*2021-08-04*

I enjoyed the app very much until recently when it cleared all my data and I no longer know what mountains or trails I completed or the dates. Hoping there is a way to recover my data

### 3/5 — Good concept but 2 key issues

*2021-07-30*

Downloaded this app as soon as I heard about it since I am in the Adirondacks a lot! I did run into 2 main issues

- it is not showing me real time parking, when I looked at the Loj it showed me the status of parking from a week ago

- I cannot see any of the challenges. This is quite disappointing to me since I like to take on a lot of the challenges in the ADK!

### 1/5 — LNT question format issue

*2021-07-10, version 5.6*

Can’t access the app- the LNT threshold info/checkboxes aren’t formatted properly for my phone (iPhone SE). Not possible to check all boxes, or even read full content of that page. Too bad.

### 1/5 — Out of date info.

*2021-06-07, version 5.6*

Missing moved and new leantos.  OpenStreetMap data much fresher.

### 1/5 — App is not functional

*2021-05-04, version 5.6*

I cannot get past the first screen. It won’t give me space to check all 7 boxes.  Just sits there. Who wrote this.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2021-04-07, version 5.6*

It opens to “create Acc & Long-in” but then is completely unresponsive. 5th generation iPad running iOS 13.7

### 1/5 — Locks up

*2021-04-05, version 5.6*

iPhone 7

### 3/5 — Fire tower challenge.

*2021-03-10, version 5.3*

The fire tower challenge appears to be out of date. It doesn’t coincide with the list produced on the ADK website. Maybe it can be updated here?

### 1/5 — Cant get past the opening check boxes

*2021-03-02, version 5.3*

So you have to check off the 7 boxes to get into the app and I can only access 6. Terrible!

### 2/5 — Keeps Freezing

*2021-02-12, version 5.3*

Good idea, but freezes at opening

### 1/5 — Abandoned?

*2025-02-18, version 10.5*

It appears this app has been abandoned by the developers. No updates in 3 years and the icon doesn’t even appear correctly when you first open the app.

### 1/5 — Offline map download doesn’t work

*2024-05-31, version 10.5*

I downloaded the app, paid for premium subscription (twice) and the map download doesn’t complete.
I’ve deleted the app and installed it again to repeat the download process and the problem persists. 
I’ve contacted the App support and I’m waiting for response. If the problem is not solved, I’ll cancel the app and report it as fraud.

### 1/5 — Map does not download

*2023-07-03, version 10.5*

What’s the point of this app if the map dosnt download

### 1/5 — Map download stalls

*2022-11-08, version 10.5*

Paid for the pro subscription and started the map download but it stalls and never completes.

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2022-10-23*

I bought this app for a trip to the Adirondacks last weekend.  I purchased the online map, but it would only partially load and then it would stop.  Tech support was poor.  Save your money and stick with a better app, like Gaia!

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2022-08-26*

Paid for Pro only to find map download will not complete after an hour of trying. Challenges page is completely empty. Great app idea, poor execution.

### 1/5 — Not working or loading

*2022-08-21*

Ive been looking roe an app like this was excited and bought it. Started putting in my hike and it crashed every time. I still cant even click on my profile without it crashing. 

Hope they figure it out but ita not worth paying for until then 🥲

### 1/5 — Nothing works

*2022-07-30*

Paid for pro, made sure everything is updated, but I cannot access any of the features. The challenges page is empty.

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2022-07-10, version 10.5*

Upgraded to Pro to DL maps. Map downloading will not complete. Tried a reinstall; now “restore purchase” in upgrade menu will not respond.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2022-07-06*

I want to love this app but it’s terrible. Paid for pro to get access to map offline while hiking w/o cell service, however map won’t download (stops at about 60% - tried multiple times). Also,  there aren’t any of the features claimed on the app description and the menu options are very limited.   The map is good for checking out trails/distances  when connected to internet, but not much else.  Really disappointed.

### 5/5 — Add further challenges?

*2021-09-30*

Love this app.  Would it be possible to add further challenges such as the ADK 29er, the ADK Blue Challenge and the Lake George 12?

### 5/5 — An App I can Finally Rely On When Wondering Where I Am!

*2020-10-28*

A goal for me has always been to complete the 46 high peaks in the Adirondacks, Unlike Alltrails or any other app, this app works with No service amazing! and Im sure we can relate to having no service problems when hiking in the Adirondacks.  This app is amazing and I recommend this to any other hiker trying to hike the 46 high peaks of the Adirondacks.

### 5/5 — Amazing App

*2020-09-26*

Helps keep track of specific hiking challenges but also lets you record your hikes. All for free!

### 5/5 — Dig The App!

*2020-09-22*

As founder of Dig The Falls, I’ve been searching for ways to share our travels and content, and join like-minded hikers! Now I can. 
Love the app and can’t wait to use it more on my travels!

### 5/5 — Life Saving!

*2020-08-07*

This app nearly saved our lives! Hiking on the herd path up to Panther Peak with my father who had this app on his phone and was able to load it with no cell phone reception!!! 
THANK YOU!!!!

### 5/5 — This app is perfect.

*2020-06-13*

I’m a map junkie and love camping in the Adirondacks. This app is super responsive, the filters are great, and it’s getting better each day. This is a go to. Must have.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2020-05-25, version 2.0*

Easy to use, worth a try.

### 5/5 — Perfect for our ADK vacation!

*2020-05-24*

This app had everything we needed to help us navigate our time while visiting in the Adirondacks. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Best new app used in months

*2020-05-23*

This is a great specialty app. I was able to locate all my favorite ADK spots for hiking and kayaking. Visually pleasant. Suggestion for updates- please add snowmobiling trails.

**Developer response:** We’re very happy you are enjoying the app! Snowmobile trails are on our radar, and will get added. Thanks for taking the time to review!

### 5/5 — North of 160th Street

*2020-05-23*

Growing up I always thought that anything north of 160th Street was UpState NY.. I had heard of the Adirondacks but wasn't sure if they  were in Canada or not. During college at Alfred University a friend brought me up to Inlet NY. That was it. I loved the Adks and everything about them. 

Your app helps flatlanders like me get a broad perspective on so many parts of this magical place. Thanks for unlocking these 6 million acres. With DackMap a person can never be unsure what there is to do inside the Blue Line.
