Exceptional high res downloadable 3d maps. Really cool data on trails. A premium subscription is not cheap but I may be canceling my ONx subscriptions for this one. Recommended. **Developer response:** Hey Austin! Thanks a lot for the review, we're stoked that you're enjoying our app. happy adventures! team FATMAP ### 5/5 — Quickly becomes indispensable and addictive *2023-08-27* The level of detail in 2D and 3D maps is extremely useful to accurately plan routes. The ability to take a map onboard has helped me orient when exploring unknown new routes. The ‘flyover’ overview has become a priceless way to evaluate new routes and to relive (and share) great adventures. The growing volume of crowd-sourced data is helping create a repository of first-hand information on trails that more generic mapping software can’t provide (though you are in direct control of what personal data you share.) The “Guidebook” feature is a convenient way to document the best routes of your choosing, including notes and photographs. Superb already, and getting better. **Developer response:** Hey Ricardo, Thanks so much for your feedback and comments: We're stoked you're enjoying FATMAP. Have a great day! Team FATMAP ### 5/5 — Excellent for hiking *2023-07-27* I’ve used this app for over a year for hiking. It has all of the trails as well as cross country ski trails, forest roads, snowmobile trails, etc. The 3D feature is very helpful. I download the maps before I head outdoors. The app works on Airplane mode and I can always see where I am and where my next trail junction is. It’s never steered me wrong or let me down. Love it. **Developer response:** Thanks for the great review! happy adventures, team FATMAP ### 1/5 — Really wanted to try this app *2023-02-23, version 3.24.35* I’m an avid Strava user and really wanted to use this app. Unfortunately it would not load properly. During the setup process, as soon as I got to the section in activity preferences, it simply stalled and would not allow me to continue. I tried restarting the app, rebooting my phone…and uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Every time it got stuck at entering preferences. I use a second generation IPHONE SE with the newest IOS. May not be compatible with older models **Developer response:** Hey there! FATMAP is compatible with iPhone 5 and above. ### 5/5 — FATMAP love + feature request *2023-02-23, version 3.24.34* I’ve been using FATMAP for a year now for all my backcountry tours and backpacking around the world. Creating routes and downloading maps is easy and effective. One feature request that I have is a modification of the Waypoints feature. It’d be nice if there were several color options for how they appear on the map. For example, I like marking some backcountry snowboarding “runs” with one color, say blue, and then it’d be nice when I mark a fork or a pass or a peak with another color, so they don’t get mixed up. That’s all I got. Still loving the app and integration with Strava. **Developer response:** Hey there! Thanks for your suggestion and the great review! cheers, team FATMAP ### 4/5 — My Bachelor Oregon needs updating *2023-02-14, version 3.24.34* And the names of the runs need to be updated as they have changed at Mount bachelor ski resort in Oregon. Also, the summit chair lift is not shown. ### 3/5 — Was expecting more *2022-12-02, version 3.24.27* When I import a GPX file, it only saves the track not the individual waypoints. Which is useless to me when I create a file with different way points and tracks it should all save in the app. ### 2/5 — Flash over substance *2022-11-29, version 3.24.27* Gave this app (and others) a chance for one year before canceling. It neglects basic functionality in exchange for 3D animations that serve no purpose other than to show you that the programmers figured out how to display a 3D map eye candy, which they impose upon the user at nearly every click so that you lose the display you’re working with. Perhaps useful for recording activities to share 3D maps with your friends or strava… but not really for navigation. **Developer response:** Hey! Sorry to hear you're not enjoying the user experience. If there are particular navigation features you feel FATMAP is missing, please send them to hello@fatmap.com. ### 5/5 — Coolest mapping software in history *2022-10-16, version 3.24.25* The team at FatMap are obvious legends of the mountains as they have made an incredible piece of software for adventure enthusiasts from a usability perspective. How other popular apps have not gotten on the 3D orientation game perplexes me. Layer in avalanche slope terrain and you have the most powerful and user friendly route planning app I’ve ever seen. I’ve used Gaia, Strava, caltopo, AllTrails, MTBProject, and many others but always come back here. Only advice for the team is to keep layering in the more advanced features that professional adventure folks are willing to pay for in regards to route planning like real time weather integrations. **Developer response:** Hey Thanks so much for your review! We're super stoked you're enjoying FATMAP. We are constantly improving the map and will definitely look into adding more professional layers! Have a great winter Team FATMAP ### 5/5 — The best app for skiing *2022-10-06, version 3.24.25* Much better UI than others and the gradient map is unique ## Frequently asked questions about FATMAP ### What does FATMAP do?
