Pay wall Death spiral

The free version is officially dead, and the paid version is too expensive. Free data is essentially no longer going to be uploaded if the only free feature is uploading the data for paid users…lol. $80 is too steep for non professionals, and professionals don’t necessarily need this app. Garmin has better maps anyway. It’s already too late now that the popularity of the app is gone but cheaper pricing (or less corporate greed should I say) would’ve kept them afloat much longer but it’s too late. In response: offering multiple tiers, or purchasing each option separately can be an option, that’s a lame excuse.

Pay to use

U cant use almost anything and everything is behind a paywall stupid as hell

Fish brain

Easy and efficient to use

Can’t use with VPN

App doesn’t work with a vpn and logs me out a lot. Contacted support and they said they were aware but the issue wasn’t fixed with the last update. Unfortunately it’s not very useful if you care about privacy.

Mid.

Former shell of what it once was. Now that it’s pay to use fully not as many people use it as much. Hopefully it goes back to the way it used to be 2.5/5
