## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Never worked

*2024-01-23, version 9.0.68*

Tried to download a walk, got constant download error :-/ it’s only 7mb so no idea what’s up with that.

### 1/5 — Very, very limited

*2019-09-23, version 4.0.1*

It only has limited functionality functionality and information about just a couple of places. Useless.

### 1/5 — Extremely limited.

*2018-10-03, version 4.0.1*

Covers very little and no search function but then I guess it does not need one with the do few walks listed

### 2/5 — Great concept but didn’t work for me

*2022-11-03, version 8.0.71*

Set location services to full access as guided by the app but didn’t detect when I was at the walk location so couldn’t use at all while walking, disappointing. iPhone 13, latest iOS

### 3/5 — Bird Calls

*2021-01-14, version 5.0.0*

What’s happened to Radio NZ bird calls that used to be on the App?

### 4/5 — A good start

*2018-10-18, version 4.0.1*

Nice and informative. Would be really good to add more walks and tracks - eg Queen Charlotte, Pouakai

### 5/5 — Emma-Kate

*2021-01-31, version 5.0.0*

A thoughtful and thorough hiking app for Aotearoa’s incredible Great Walks. An excellent help for planning my next multi day hiking adventure further afield in unfamiliar terrain. Love the flyover videos of each track, including altitude and elevation info. The hut pictures are also super helpful. Brilliant to have all this essential info well laid out and instantly accessible in one easy to use app.

### 5/5 — Fantastic app

*2021-01-22, version 5.0.0*

About time we had this app been a long time coming super responsive informative and a great tool to use our highly recommend everyone

### 5/5 — Great app

*2021-01-14, version 5.0.0*

Awesome updated version of this app.  Lots of handy information and great maps.

### 5/5 — Perfect Hiking Companion

*2021-01-14, version 5.0.0*

This app is the perfect guide to the great walks of NZ. It gives you all the information you need about the routes, what you will see, what you need to take, how to book and much more. The route map and flyover is so cool. It’s great that the content is all offloadable so you can access it when you’re out of cell reception. Made doing the Milford much easier and more confidently.
