It was a short learning curve and I am using the iCloud for storing my files. This would be an incredible app if it could provide turn by turn navigation. It still is good for viewing if I am staying on the route or have varied off the route. ### 2/5 — Nope *2025-07-19, version 3.8.86* It takes over a dozen clicks to import a track. If you have 20 tracks to do, it takes forever. Not that it matters, if you get a few of them imported it’ll crash and you’ll lose your work. Don’t reply, I won’t read it. ### 4/5 — Not bad *2024-06-02, version 3.8.62* For a free app it’s a pretty good GPX viewer. Best I’ve found so far. UI is a little cluttered / basic / my-first-app, but it’s responsive and functional. I use it for loading green-lane / byway tracks. One improvement I can suggest is to show the loading of multiple GPX files at a time. Thanks! ### 3/5 — No integration into Share Sheet *2023-12-17* Thought I could use this app to view GPX tracks sent to me by others via messenger or similar, but having to first store the file in a specific folder on my phone in order to open it instead of being able to use the iOS Share Sheet significantly reduces its usefulness to me to close to zero ### 1/5 — Not working *2023-09-06, version 3.8.62* Won’t open box files in my iPad files ### 4/5 — OK App needs some work *2023-08-06, version 3.8.62* Handling files stored on iCloud and other locations could be made more accessible and user-friendly. ### 1/5 — No gpx import *2022-10-07, version 3.8.60* Can’t work out how to import from Google drive. Google drive claims it sent gpx file to app but app can’t see it ### 1/5 — Key functionality missing, support is a joke *2022-07-11, version 3.8.54* The main reason I got this app was so I could take gpx files from Komoot and export them into apple maps so I can use their navigation. This should work as the features include: “Send the waypoints to to various map apps such as Apple and Google maps” This works with the sample file but the option is not available with the gpx files that I am importing. This was the main reason I bought the app and if it doesn’t work then it’s useless to me. I tried to go down the support route to find a solution or report a bug. However, the support is a joke, it takes you to the authors website where you select the app you are using and it gives a blurb on what the app does. There is a link to ‘contact us’ which then takes you back to the same starting point. There are no FAQs or ways to get support for the application. Honestly it’s a joke. Not worth your time or money ### 1/5 — Sprache *2022-06-12* Leider nur alles auf englisch Kann man die Sprache ändern ? **Developer response:** Nein, tut mir leid, es ist nur englische Sprache. ### 1/5 — You don’t have permission *2022-02-11* I download a GPX file, readable with every other viewer on my phone. With this App, I am told ‚you don‘t have permission‘. Maybe there’s a simple fix but I haven’t found it, and as I‘ve said, I haven’t had this issue with other viewers. **Developer response:** Try importing the file another way with Dropbox, iCloud, or many of the other available methods to import a file. ### 1/5 — don’t waste your money *2021-09-21, version 3.8.54* didn’t work. couldn’t open gpx files on my iphone… waste of two bucks. update after “developer response”… sorry mates… not worth the hassle for a couple bucks… fix your app rather than complaining about your paying customers. app should work out of the box, at least for viewing a gpx… simple thing… it’s the app’s name. downloaded another app (a free one, at that) which worked out of the box. don’t charge for your apps then expect your customers to debug for you. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-01-15, version 3.8.90* Does not import even a small standard GPX file. I wan my money bank. ### 1/5 — What happened? *2025-07-31, version 3.8.86* Uploading a file from your email is hard to do and right now it looks like things have changed it to impossible ### 1/5 — 英語で分からない *2025-03-22* 日本語で開けませんか？ ### 1/5 — Bof *2025-02-13* Peu convivial ### 1/5 — Déçu *2025-01-27* Impossible d’importer un fichier GPX. Un message me dit que le fichier est dans le répertoire mais en réalité il n’y a aucun fichier présent. J’utilise plusieurs autres applications pour mes randonnées et c’est la seule avec laquelle j’ai ce soucis. Du coup application inutilisable. **Developer response:** Make sure the file you’re importing does not have the same name as any other files in the directory. Also, try importing from a cloud based service such as Dropbox. You can always contact support if you’re still having issues. ### 1/5 — Hält nicht was es verspricht *2025-01-06* Lässt sich wieder in Deutsch anschauen noch Daten aus dem PC oder Mac hochladen ### 1/5 — Impossible d’importer un fihh ça ure Gpx depuis son téléphone *2024-08-20* L’application propose cette fonctionnalité mais un écran noir apparaît qu’on on essaye de l’utiliser. **Developer response:** Not too sure of the issue, but you may find it easier to import the file from a cloud server such as Dropbox or iCloud. If you’re still having issues contact us at modesittsoftware@gmail.com. ### 1/5 — Have routes can’t use them *2024-08-18, version 3.8.62* Can only see routes, can’t use them for directions ### 1/5 — Importing routes *2024-07-24, version 3.8.62* RUBBISH!!! You can’t import routes you have created yourself. Avoid! ### 1/5 — Can’t open local files *2024-04-03, version 3.8.62* Attempted to open a .gpx file saved to phone. Error message: “you don’t have permission to open file [path to file]. Try using the cloud instead” ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Does what it says on the box. *2025-12-22, version 3.8.90* Solid viewer. The info button at the top right helped me quickly figure out how to use it. The ability to change map styles is much appreciated, and maps render fast when zooming in and out or moving around. There are lots of graphs to analyze the gpx data. I particularly like the speed vs points graph and elevation over time graph for keeping track of my snowboard runs. Lots of apps now are monetized by adds, data mining, or locking users onto their platforms behind a subscription service and leaving them unable to export their data. This app does none of that and the price is right. I would buy it again. To the dev, if you are reading this, please consider implementing a few features: - Share menu integration. Sure, I can open this app itself and then open my gpx track. But being able to share my gpx recording from the app I use for this purpose, directly to this app using the ios share button would be great! - Integration into the Files app. I keep my files saved in my cloud so honestly I have no need to manage them with this app, however I did try to create a folder and put some tracks into it, but I can’t seem to find the created folder in the Files app which is where I would expect it to appear. - A timeline scrub. Some way to view the progress of my hike from start to finish and quickly scrub to a certain point, instead of just manually moving the map view. If you are in search of a simple gpx viewer and analyzer, this is it. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2024-07-07, version 3.8.62* Excellent app. ### 5/5 — Very good app but I miss a feature *2024-03-20* And the website is down :-( I have fox tracks with waypoints with different symbols tag . Unfortunately GPX viewer is not showing those symbols. Any idea? ### 5/5 — Does what is needed *2024-01-08, version 3.8.62* It’s basic but it does what is needed and works well. Saved my skin getting a gpx file onto my phone ### 5/5 — Clean App *2023-05-07, version 3.8.62* I have been using all versions of this app Mac and iOS. It is great for just reviewing your tracks, just upload and go! All very slick! ### 5/5 — Best in class *2022-09-10* Turn by turn notifications would be great ! Integration with new always on display iPhone would be awesome! **Developer response:** Thank you for your review. As for the “always on display” you can accomplish the same thing in the app settings. ### 5/5 — Súper simple *2022-08-25, version 3.8.54* Great app. Ignore the Idots ### 5/5 — Fantastic and easy to use *2022-07-10, version 3.8.54* This app was well worth the cost, even for a single use. On a motorcycle tour I lost a complete days ride with a very specific routs that would have been impossible to remember and I only had .gpx files and iPhone. Thanks to this app I was able to open the gpx and replicate the route in my satnav. ### 5/5 — Ottima *2022-05-31* Facile e intuitiva, la utilizzo per aprire file GPX esistenti ### 5/5 — Utilisation *2021-05-27* FACILE --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
