## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 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.

### 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.

### 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.

### 1/5 — Unausgereift

*2023-12-04*

Könnte gut sein, ist es aber nicht. Nicht selbsterklärend. Mißverständliche Symbole.  Keine Einstellmöglichkeiten. Eigener Standort auf Karte nicht sichtbar (und mangels Einstellungen auch nicht einzuschalten). Es wird ohne weitere Erklärung unterschieden zwischen Routen und Tracks, auch an anderer Stelle fehlt Hilfe oder HowTo.

### 1/5 — Nul

*2023-08-01*

Trace des lignes droites entre différents points mais jamais de parcours.
Application nulle sans la moindre explication : poubelle

### 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!

### 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.

### 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.

### 5/5 — Very useful, but there are a few minor issues

*2024-07-19*

The route of exporting the track gpx file to other applications may deviate

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review, if you send me some more details on the issues I will take a look. There is a support link on the App Store page.

### 5/5 — Great simple app for GPX route planning

*2024-06-02*

As a runner and cyclist, I love using this app when traveling as I can quickly plan a training run even in an unfamiliar city and easily send the GPX file to the navigation on my Garmin watch from my iPad. I love that UI is simple to use and very easy to figure out right from day one, and that it doesn’t have many complicated features that most people wouldn’t even need. 

If the developer is planning any updates I would recommend just two additions. 1) The ability to use the device’s location to center the map  to your location, as this would save scrolling around to find where you are when in an unfamiliar place.  And 2) the ability to add edit points to an already drawn route that can be dragged to edit and adjust the route after you have plotted where you basically want to go. 

Apart from that I wouldn’t want to add anything else. There are other more complicated apps out there for anyone that really wants all the bells and whistles. The beauty of this app is that it is so simple to use.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review, a change to let you use your current location is coming very soon

### 5/5 — Nicht ganz intuitiv - aber durchdacht und funktional

*2024-03-31*

Ich benutze es, um die EuroVelo-Routen nach eigenem Bedarf neu zusammenzuschnibbeln. Funktioniert wunderbar. Vielen Dank für dieses praktische Werkzeug!

**Developer response:** Danke für die Rezension. Ich habe die App erstellt, nachdem ich auf Eurovelo-Routen durch Europa gefahren bin :)

### 5/5 — Super ,enfin , je t'attendais

*2023-03-08*

Jusqu'ici j'utilisais Map plus pour éditer mes parcours mais votre logiciel est beaucoup mieux Facile d'utilisation , rapide, des fonctions nouvelles comme souder 2 parcours ou bien les scinder Il est vraiment super. Merci. 👍😉

Juste une petite amélioration à faire: pouvoir voir plusieurs track sur map car parfois je me sert d'un track pour construire un 2 ème track

### 5/5 — Brilliant app

*2023-03-07*

An amazing app does exactly what I want it to do, easy to use ,accurate seamless. Use all the time to edit my mtb and walking routes,and create new ones,perfect

### 4/5 — Sehr nützliche App

*2024-07-21*

Eine wirklich gute App. Hat mir jetzt in kurzer Zeit schon bei meinen Rennrad- und Wandertouren geholfen. Mit der UI muss man sich kurz beschäftigen, dann findet man aber gut rein. Danke!

**Developer response:** Danke für die Bewertung

### 4/5 — Perfect for quick edits

*2024-03-08*

No ads. No frills. Simple to use. I just wanted to cut some gpx traces from a long ride and this app did it perfectly.
