### 5/5 — Einfach zu bedienendes Programm

*2026-07-05*

Die App ist sehr einfach zu bedienen und gibt keine Rätsel auf. Ideal, um schnell eine Bearbeitung vorzunehmen.

### 1/5 — Unable to edit points based on time associated to a point

*2026-05-26*

It appears as if they promise something they cannot deliver.

### 4/5 — Gut aber UI hat Luft nach oben

*2026-05-17*

Die App ist gut und man kann die GPX Files gut bearbeiten, allerdings ist die Bedienung und Bearbeitung ungewohnt und etwas fummelig. Man muss sich an die App gewöhnen und sich Zeit nehmen. Ansonsten: sehr solide und hilfreich!

### 1/5 — Kinda sucks

*2026-03-18*

Can’t get the app to do anything? Seems to freeze after I upload GPX to it

### 1/5 — Junk

*2026-01-28*

Can not open existing gpx files to edit them.

### 1/5 — Freezes immediately it opens

*2025-12-18*

Sadly I can only give the app a one star rating because it simply won’t get further than trying to load a gpx file before it freezes. I initially contacted the developer using their contact form but have had no reply. I am now invoking Apple’s refund mechanism. I have an iPhone 15 Pro with nothing unusual about it - interested to see if others are having problems…

### 1/5 — Completely Useless

*2025-07-16*

Don’t bother. Without paying for the full version, it does literally nothing. It opens, show a map and a dialog box, if you tap either of them, you are prompted to pay for a full version. Since the free version does nothing, I assume the paid version does nothing as well, just faster, with more options, and probably something lame like facebook sharing. Not for real use.

### 5/5 — Für meine Anwendungsfall perfekt!

*2025-07-04*

Für meinen Anwendungsfall (zusammenfügen mehrerer GPX Dateien) perfekt. Fast alle Funktionen sind sich kostenlos benutzbar. Super Arbeit.

### 1/5 — Another 5 dollars down the drain

*2025-06-18*

Just locks up and does nothing

### 1/5 — No instructions

*2025-02-15*

Why is it developers think you are born with the knowledge to use their product?  You are on your own to figure it a way to use this app. So it is useless for me.
