Good
I like the app a lot when I have data but downloading maps crashes the app frequently. The only way to fix is to remove the app, redownload, and try again. I want to download all of the maps to work offline since I have the room on my device, but I can never successfully download them all without the feature crashing. Developer, maybe setup a download all option?

Update looks awesome
Can’t wait to use it. Great improvements.
Nice App
Nice iPhone app that augments the excellent Charles Wells Off-Road Guidebooks to help you navigate in and out of all the good trails in the southwest.
Great Info, Poor App
The guides (books) are the best, the app is ok at best. The app limits zoom for download, yet almost all the routes are in areas with NO CELL COVERAGE! So why bother with the app if you can’t download for off grid use? The app also “works” on iPad, BUT only in portrait and magnified from phone sized window, NOT higher resolution so there is limited value in using an iPad. Bottom line great company, great data, needs major app update. (I did download for disconnected use but it barely works.) In the end I paid for a different app which worked great even with downloaded map data in no cell coverage areas which is most of the routes.

Worst offroad app
I’ve been very happy with the series of books to discover trails in multiple state.
This app is extremely expensive at $60 and now feels to me like a complete rip-off.
This app just offers you the GPS track in pink.
It is not color coded like in the books. You need to refer to the book to see the color of the current portion of the trail.
None of the book text is present in the App.
You still need to hold the book in your hands while driving.
I had dowloaded the offline map for my trail.
The map is basically useless : best case, it’s just yellow. you do not see the other roads. At an intersection, there is no intersection, just the pink track you’re on. So no way to know if a bypass or a shortcut exists. Refer to a paper map for that.
Worst case, the screen turns black, the pink track disappears and you just have a blue dot in the middle of the black screen. Of course it happened to me while I was navigating tight switchbacks with scary drops on the side in Moab.
( I wish I could add screenshots to this review to show you how bad it is).
Finally, unlike Google Maps, Apple Maps, this app does not keep the screen on. While getting bashed on boulders in steep descents, I had to constantly reenter my six digit passcode to wake up the phone.
This app is a complete rip-off. I wish I could be refunded.
You’re way better drawing your GPX track into Gaia than using this app.
