### 4/5 — Sehe keinen Vorteil

*2026-05-31*

Ich habe mir die App angeschaut, weil ich hoffte, dass ich eine offline Heatmap aller meine Routen mir anzeigen lassen kann. Das scheint nicht zu funktionieren (ging das nicht in der alten Version?). Vielleicht habe ich es aber auch nur nicht gefunden. Sehe im übrigen kein Vorteil zu anderen Apps, außer dass die Daten bei mir bleiben (bietet aber Cyclemeter auch mit dort mehr Funktionen (allerdings kostenpflichtig). Diese App ist ab der dritten Route ebenfalls kostenpflichtig.

**Developer response:** Yes my app has everything needed to hike. But, as explained, there are few more features unlocked by the Pro version. Thanks. Enjoy your hikes!

### 5/5 — Gpx on apple watch

*2025-11-23, version 1.3.12*

Is the app developed for use on apple watch?

### 5/5 — Beste App fürs Wandern

*2025-08-15*

Nutze die App jetzt seit ca. 2 Jahren und bin absolut überzeugt. Unentbehrlich für jeden, der viel in den Bergen unterwegs ist

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank! Ich wünsche Ihnen schöne Wanderungen!

### 5/5 — Le top

*2025-01-12*

Appli hyper simple et qui va a l’essentiel. C’est devenu un indispensable avant chaque rando ou trail pour visualiser le tracé en amont et voir les passages difficiles.
Bien joué !

**Developer response:** Merci beaucoup ! Je vous souhaite de belles randonnées.

### 1/5 — Version gratuite sans intérêt

*2024-08-11*

Seule la version payante pourrait être intéressante. Il faut payer pour voir donc désinstallation.

**Developer response:** C’est étrange : vous pouvez pourtant faire des randonnées sans les options de la version Pro. N’hésitez pas à m’écrire si nécessaire.

### 5/5 — Great free app

*2024-07-12*

### 1/5 — No es gratuito además no funciona bien

*2024-05-19, version 1.3.10*

No es gratuito además no funciona bien.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2023-10-08*

After trying many different apps to download the TET trail GPX tracks I downloaded this app. It is amazingly easy to use and you can just import the tracks that you need. I was on the TET today and it worked flawlessly with my iPhone and also works well with my iPad.

**Developer response:** I am glad you like my app! Enjoy your hikes!

### 5/5 — Ottima app per visualizzare gpx

*2023-09-16, version 1.3.10*

Ottima app per visualizzare gpx, vorrei chiedere se farete un app per apple watch così da poter visualizzare il percorso nell watch

### 4/5 — Wirklich gute App

*2023-06-28*

One question 
Is it possible to show 2 or more tracks at the same time to see the differences.

A German version would be really desirable.
I know it's not that easy.

greetings from Germany

**Developer response:** Hi, sorry it is not possible.
