### 4/5 — Good stuff

*2026-03-28*

Great to create your own maps. Saves me a lot of travel time to other events/parks. Only complaint is I need to keep it hooked to portable charger so it doesn’t kill my battery while using

### 1/5 — This app completely fell off

*2026-01-22*

I used to love this app. Brilliant idea and I love that you could manually get the control if you were nearby. The main problem was that it kept zapping my power on my phone like no other app. I would go from 50% to nothing in an instant. And then you couldn’t start your race from where you were. Really frustrating. I deleted the app with over two dozen maps.

### 4/5 — Amazing App

*2026-01-12*

This app has given me so much joy in life. It’s so convenient to be able to create your own courses in local public spaces when you cannot make meets that are far away or at inconvenient times. I absolutely love this.

### 5/5 — GPS

*2025-03-10*

Très ennuyeux

### 4/5 — Problemas en la descarga de los mapas

*2023-10-20, version 5.0.2*

No es posible  descargar ni imprimir los mapas.

### 5/5 — Primeras pruebas

*2023-09-05, version 4.18*

Las 2 primeras pruebas realizadas funciona muy bien

### 5/5 — Sugestão

*2022-11-07*

Seria interessante se na hora de georreferenciar o mapa, tivesse a opção de colocar 4 pontos com as devidas coordenadas. Isso daria mais precisão ao mapa. 
No mais, o App é excelente. Parabéns.

### 1/5 — Se cierra la aplicación

*2022-08-23, version 4.13.1*

Cuando le doy a crear un nuevo recorrido en la versión premium, se cierra la aplicación todo el rato

### 2/5 — Versión Premium

*2022-08-01, version 4.11*

Es un engaño que la versión Premium, después de pagar 5€, no te ofrezca nada a mayores que la versión que no es de pago. 
El programa es muy pobre. No graba el track del recorrido en la app. Hay que exportarlo para verlo en otro programa como Wikiloc. 
No ofrece gráficas de altura, ni desniveles. 
Muy, muy, muy básico.
