Amazing! For South Africa

This is a really cool app, please note it’s exclusive to South Africa. I wish we had one just like it for where I live.

Top app!

This is a great app for hiking and trails! Very useful and ability to work offline as well! Love it!

New Update great!

The new update is great! Thanks for bringing back the table mountain maps! However I still find the explore mode a bit complex, seems like theres a lot happening. Overall, I’m very impressed with the app, it’s very helpful!

Response from developer

Thanks for the kind review and glad you enjoy the Cape Town trail maps returning. Here’s to more exploring!

Great hiking app!

Great app. I love the information it provides on each trail and the offline maps feature. Great place to look up and explore different hiking trails in your area. It’s a bit hard to find in the Apple store if you only search the name forge

Response from developer

Thanks for your positive review and glad to hear you are finding it easy to use and with sufficient info. The more people that review the app the higher it will go in search results. Also the link is always on our web homepage.

Excellent!

I was wary of this as it had zero reviews, so I thought I'd rectify that after using Forge to navigate over a Skeleton Gorge/Nursery Ravine hike on Table Mountain in poor weather (low cloud) today. I rely on ViewRanger in the UK but wanted something similar to use while I'm in South Africa, and this worked a treat.

It froze once and I needed to restart the app, but I can accept a tiny hiccup as the price is right (free!)

Two thumbs up.

Hi, polarben. Thanks so much for your positive review and kind words. We are really glad you had a positive experience while using the app in South Africa.

Needs updating

Currently no landscape view. This is a very basic need that should already be working. Needs more work.

Response from developer

Hi there. Thanks for taking time to rate and review the app. By landscape view do you mean the map doesn’t adjust when the phone orientation is turned to landscape position?
