That could be improved easy I suppose. **Developer response:** You’re right! Because it’s an alphabetical order. You could name your files 01, 02, … , 10, 11 and it will be ok. ;) Enjoy your hikes! ### 5/5 — Great GPX app *2025-09-08* Downloaded the app after my Satnav went missing. It meant I could continue mountain biking off road while I was on holiday in Spain. Worked flawlessly and super impressed by the app features. **Developer response:** Thank you! ### 5/5 — Appli simple et fonctionnelle *2025-08-31* J’ai réalisé un trek de 7 jours dans les Pyrénées avec cette application en achetant la version premium pour pouvoir mettre plus de 3 trajets en même temps. Aucun problème pour me diriger, le GPS a fonctionné sans problème. Parfait pour suivre des itinéraire en mode avion en téléchargeant le fond de carte au préalable (et compléter par des cartes IGN pour plus de sûreté). Option boussole et altimètre pratique. Le seul manque de l’application mais qui n’est pas vraiment un manque car l’application sert juste à consulter des trajets principalement, c’est de pouvoir éditer ou créer des GPX pour pouvoir faire des variantes en fonction de la météo. **Developer response:** Merci pour votre commentaire, ravi qu’elle vous ait été utile. Je vous souhaite de belles randonnées ! ### 5/5 — Finally, a no-nonsense GPX viewer *2025-08-27* There are so many GPX apps out there that want you to subscribe to their service just to have offline maps… a lot of which are already FREE maps. This is a no-nonsense GPX Viewer that does exactly that… view GPX files. I do have ONE request and that is a way to manually download the tiles that I want in different resolutions. Other than that, the simplicity of the app is great. Does what it does, well worth the upgrade to get rid of ads. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your feedback! Please drop me an email with your feature suggestion so we can discuss it. Enjoy your hikes! ### 5/5 — Does what it says *2025-08-25* I like that the app is simple and love the privacy policy. I hope to see Carplay capability added in a future release. Download and buy him a coffee or a meal! **Developer response:** Thank you so much! Enjoy your hikes! ### 5/5 — Best hiking app EVER *2025-08-23* You’re a genius bro. Thank you. **Developer response:** Haha! Thanks! Enjoy your hikes! ### 5/5 — Enfin un super lecteur GPX *2025-08-12* J’utilise l’application depuis plus d’une semaine tous les jours et j’ai enfin trouvé une application qui me donne entièrement satisfaction. Bravo au développeur **Developer response:** Merci beaucoup ! Faites de belles randonnées ! ### 5/5 — Settings/GPX list *2025-08-11* Hey, one small request: could you make it so you can close settings and GPX list easier for example with a swipe down? Currently it's a bit difficult to do it one-handed. Thanks! **Developer response:** I thought about that but you have to validate your changes (in settings especially) and it’s better to have a button for that. However, I can have a look. ### 4/5 — Great App *2025-08-10* Everything as I need except one and I wondered if the developer could accommodate it. And that is to be able to use UK Ordinance Survey map; OS Map commonly referred to. Happy to pay to download it. Or is this already possible? Would love to know. Thank you. **Developer response:** Hey! As soon as you have an URL to this specific base map, you can add it in the app, yes. Unfortunately I don’t know about it, I can’t help you. Please contact me by email to discuss about that and try a way together. ### 5/5 — A rare thing *2025-07-30* It’s pretty rare to find such a well designed, great value and bloat-free app. 5/5! Cheers for making this so we don’t have to use the big subscription apps :) **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your feedback! Enjoy your hikes! ### 5/5 — Fait très bien le travail *2025-07-08* Une excellente application qui allie à la fois simplicité et efficacité. Je te l’utilise en moto, pour afficher une trace GPX en supplément du guidage par GPS. Pour moi elle serait parfaite si : - possibilité de modifier le zoom avec un bouton + et un -. - boutons plus grand pour être manipulés avec des gants, voir un affichage spécifique moto. - identifier la partie déjà effectuée sur la trace par un changement de couleur. Merci au développeur, j’ai déjà payé le café, je rajouterai certainement quelque chose de plus dans le futur, c’est largement mérité ! **Developer response:** Bonjour et merci de votre soutien. Il est vrai que j’ai développé mon app pour la randonnée mais qu’elle fonctionne aussi bien en moto. Je vais réfléchir à vos propositions et voir ce que je peux faire ! ### 4/5 — Application parfaite ! *2025-02-21* Simple et efficace ! Une fonction peut-être sympa a rajouter, la possibilité de partager sa positon **Developer response:** Merci de votre feedback! Pourriez-vous me décrire par email votre idée de fonction, ça m’intéresse ? ### 5/5 — Appli géniale *2025-02-18* La version gratuite de l’appli est tellement sympa à utiliser que j’ai acheté pour une bouchée de pain la version « pro » dont je n’avais pas spécialement besoin mais par respect et pour encourager le travail du développeur ! **Developer response:** Je vous remercie chaleureusement ! Faites de belles randonnées 🏔️ ### 5/5 — Perfekte App für Wanderungen *2024-12-27* Die App eignet sich perfekt für Wanderungen. GPX Dateien importieren, Karte offline herunterladen und los geht’s. Kann ich nur empfehlen. Wir verwenden die App bei jeder Wanderung. **Developer response:** Thank you so much! (Sorry I don’t speak German.) Enjoy your hikes! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Paying isn’t the same as showed *2025-12-03* The “coffee tip” product, priced at $3.99, is misleading. Upon purchase, found out the actual cost exceeded $31.94. Consequently, I intended to purchase the $3.99 pack to explore and too see my map that was made and to see the pro version has to offer. However, ended up spending significantly more then the advertised price due to excessive advertising and the subpar customer service. If I were to receive a refund and that price to be fixed so no one has to deal with that kind of bs, that would be highly appreciated **Developer response:** As I’ve answered to you by e-mail, the prices displayed should be the right one, of course. I am sorry you’ve faced such an issue. In any case, you can contact Apple for a refund as all purchase process is handled by Apple directly. Thanks for your understanding. ### 1/5 — Can’t read map *2025-08-07* Can’t read UK TET gpx map file. The map works fine with other apps. **Developer response:** Please contact me by email with your file so I can have a look what’s going wrong. ### 1/5 — Useless on Mac *2025-02-28* There is no way to open GPX files. I have no idea why they bothered to make it available on the Mac **Developer response:** Could you send me an e-mail with your issue? It should work on the Mac as well. ### 1/5 — Enttäuschend *2025-02-27* Ich bin sehr enttäuscht. Die Kollektion geht auch in der Pro-Version immer wieder verloren. Wenn man einen Trail genau anschaut kommt ma nicht wieder zur Übersicht zurück. Damit ist die App praktisch unbrauchbar!!! Auch die Auswahl der Karten ist ungewöhnlich dürftig. Das ist im Vergleich zu anderen Apps mit kostenfreien Karten nicht nachvollziehbar. Schade für‘s Geld! **Developer response:** What do you mean with ‘collection’? Could you send me an email so I can have a look at your issue or improve my app? About the maps, there are few options in the library but you can add add any others on your own. That means you’re not limited to the initial list I provide. ### 1/5 — Nur für kurze Strecken *2023-07-31* Bricht beim Laden längerer Strecken ab. Z.b. Alpencross Radreise **Developer response:** In app settings you can enable the option to keep the device screen on. It should fix your problem… ### 1/5 — Warum immer englisch. *2023-05-30* Ich lebe in Deutschland und möchte auch Programme in deutsch lesen können.😡 **Developer response:** Because I am an independent developer that makes this app on my free time and I only speak French and English… Weil ich ein unabhängiger Entwickler bin, der diese App in meiner Freizeit macht und ich nur Französisch und Englisch spreche... ### 2/5 — Well, good idea *2024-08-21* Great idea to have a simple map that displays GPX on top. But it is loading very very slow (takes up to two minutes to load my tracks on an iPhone 12 mini) compared to GPX viewer 1, also the show tracks on map feature doesn‘t work quite as well as in the 1st version, where it displays all tracks instead of just the first one. So all in all its useless for me compared to GPX viewer 1. On a sidenote - I don‘t understand why the 1 doesn‘t just get updated, so there wouldn‘t be the need for two separate apps… **Developer response:** Sorry you have such issues. It should be faster to load a GPX one the new version as it was all optimized. Maybe you can contact me by email so I can have a look on your file? ### 3/5 — Chrashed bei mir leider *2025-06-14* Ich habe in der Vergangenheit die Version 1 benutzt. Nachdem ich nun dort Nagscreens bekommen habe habe ich gewechselt. Bei größeren Dateien crashed diese Version leider **Developer response:** Could you please contact me by email with the GPX file that crashed? I can have a look and hopefully find a solution. ### 3/5 — No option to switch to km? *2023-05-29* I can't seem to find a way to switch to metric distances. That's a pretty basic requirement. **Developer response:** It automatically use the measurement system of your device. If your iPhone is set to metrics, it will automatically use metrics. EDIT: I have add this feature in new 2.0.6 version. Enjoy! ### 4/5 — 3D *2026-06-10* I’ve been using this app for quite a while now. It’s great. It just seems that there is no option to use/see an imported track on 3D, or I may have not found it yet. **Developer response:** Yes it is possible: from the settings select the « satellite 3D » base map. On the map use both fingers and swipe from bottom to top to move the map. (Like in Apple Maps) ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — great free alternative to the big guys *2026-08-05* does everything you need it to do. might not have all the bells and whistles but has all the essentials and it’s free. what more can you ask for ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-07-08* Have used on a few hiking holidays, basic features are amazing and premium would be nice add ons but not critical if you couldn’t pay, which is a great system. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for that review! That’s it, Pro version is more a support for my work. Enjoy your hikes! ### 5/5 — All Trails premium minus the $90 *2026-06-11* Thank you for creating the perfect backcountry app. I’ve been using this for 2 years now and it’s amazing. I’m a broke college student so I can’t afford to buy any of the premium versions but I can write this review and tell you that you’re a legend. Thank you! **Developer response:** Thanks! Enjoy your hikes! Sorry for the Pro version purchase, I need it to maintain the app. New features are coming! But it’s not 90$ ;) ### 5/5 — Top GPX Tool *2026-06-03* Eine durchdachte und stabile GPX Software die viele Funktionen hat. Leider ist die Benutzung ein bisschen umständlich aber mit etwas Geduld hat man sich schnell eingearbeitet. Daumen hoch! **Developer response:** Thank you, enjoy your hikes! ### 5/5 — Awesome tool! *2026-05-28* Also the pricing model is very nice. Love the latest update. Offline map features are super nice! **Developer response:** Thanks a lot! Enjoy your hikes and thank you for your support! ### 5/5 — Syncing *2026-05-03* Hi the app is amazing does everything I need .I have one question do the files sync between devices because my do not (iphone17 and iPad) **Developer response:** Hey! Thanks! No it doesn’t. You should keep your files in iCloud Drive if you want to share them between your devices. ### 5/5 — Lovely *2026-04-13* Wonderful app. Easy to use with a very clean UI. **Developer response:** Thank you! Enjoy your hikes! ### 5/5 — Super *2025-12-24* Exactement l’app dont j’avais besoin pour mes parcours en vtt, indispensable lorsque le balisage est un peu trop light… super facile à utiliser et super pratique avec la fonction de localisation sur la carte **Developer response:** Merci pour votre message. Profitez bien ! ### 5/5 — So handy *2025-09-29* Just wanted to say I think this app is great. Use it pretty regularly when a walk or route needs GPS guidance. Keep up the good work! **Developer response:** Thank you! Enjoy your hikes! ### 5/5 — Fantastic GPX tool *2025-09-28* Exactly what I was looking for to view my custom GPX routes for hiking and running. Easy to load files onto, great satellite viewer, super quick and snappy to use. Recently did 10 days hiking in the Dolomites and used it every day to navigate and worked super well. Would like a few quality of life things like easier renaming of tracks when importing, and having an option for POIs on the satellite view could be useful - but for what it is, it's great. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your feedback!
