Excellent , impressive
These guys have put some work into this app - and it has become outstanding. 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.

Hey Austin! Thanks a lot for the review, we're stoked that you're enjoying our app. happy adventures! team FATMAP
Quickly becomes indispensable and addictive
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.

Hey Ricardo, Thanks so much for your feedback and comments: We're stoked you're enjoying FATMAP. Have a great day! Team FATMAP
Excellent for hiking
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.

Really wanted to try this app
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

Hey there! FATMAP is compatible with iPhone 5 and above.
FATMAP love + feature request
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.

My Bachelor Oregon needs updating
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.

Was expecting more
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.
Flash over substance
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.

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.
Coolest mapping software in history
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.

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
The best app for skiing
Much better UI than others and the gradient map is unique
Doesn’t work anymore.
First tried this a while back and it was very promising. Now it won’t load maps and recalling saved backcountry ski trails state “may have been removed from database”.
Continuously has to renew purchase
The app is phenomenal, but every single time I open it I have to renew my purchase. It has become extremely frustrating, multiple times mid-download of an offline map the download has cancelled because the app wants me to hit a button to renew my purchase…
Response from developer
Hey there, Thanks for your feedback. Please reach out to support@fatmap.com and we would be very happy to help you solve the issues you mentioned. In the meantime, please always ensure you have the latest version downloaded. We look forward to hearing from you directly! Cheers, Team FATMAP
Would be great if it worked
It just simply doesn’t work. Constantly freezes and I just can’t get anything done on here
A useful tool for fun in the alpine!
I usually use Gaia or CalTopo, but FATMAP may soon replace those apps as my go to tool for mapping. Its slope angle shading tool is handy for planning backcountry ski trips and approaches / descents in new terrain, and I appreciate how easy it is to share route and route information, with my colleagues and my clients. The 3D view is fun, too!

Thanks for the awesome review!! It's great to hear how you use FATMAP for planning your trips! Cheers, Team FATMAP
A step in the right direction
Overall I find it useful for backcountry skiing, but it’s missing a couple features that will prevent me from renewing.
1. You can only import a gpx route from a computer, and not directly into the app from you iPhone.
2 Downloading offline maps is problematic. It’s slow to start( if at all), and takes forever.

Thanks for your review and feedback! We've passed your suggestion for GPX imports across to our team. We've recently updated our offline map downloads and would love to hear your feedback! Feel free to get in touch with our team at support@fatmap.com. Cheers, Team FATMAP
Fantastic app for adventures
One of the best apps around! This app is indispensable for outdoor adventures and objectives. I also use Gaia and CalTopo but always use FATMAP as well. To me, FATMAP is more unique and has some fantastic features. It’s easy to download maps for offline use and the explore membership is well worth it as well. Overall, I couldn’t recommend this app enough!

Very nice app!
This definitely has better imagery than google earth app and the in app slope overlay is very nice! Still new to this and Will update review to 5 stars if I can figure out how to get tracks and routes to work.
No landscape view
I absolutely love the desktop version of FATMAP, so this review is specifically for the app and not the product. The lack of the ability to tilt your phone and view the map in landscape mode is absolutely backbreaking. I love mirroring my phone to my TV and looking at map apps that way when planning a tour (I do this a lot with CalTopo), and I can’t do that with this app. I’d probably pay for premium if there was a landscape view.

3D Maps, and offline!!
This is the only good app that has offline 3D maps. It’s huge compared with no offline, and usually no 3D maps at all.
The map visualization is very smooth, even when u add tons of waypoints to it. Great great implementation of the 3D map, better than G_Earth. Easy to share with friends!!

Cannot sign in
I cannot give this app more than one star because I could never sign-in. I tried several angles, email, apple ID, nothing. Just an endless loop, each time delivering me back to the verification of my email page. And every time I gave my email, it bounced right back to the same request, without ever opening the app.
