Fantastic app - Great support
I’ve used the OS maps app for years and was always happy with it. This year when renewal came up I kept seeing adverts for HiiKer. I was a little reluctant to try at first, but the introductory price was worth a try.
I’ve been so impressed with it. For just general hiking the OS maps on it are the same, but the addition of Harvey maps and really good standard maps are game changers. I’ve also had a play with some of the old 1800s maps which have been interesting on a ‘map geek level’.
The support is absolutely fantastic though, they launched a new ‘peak bagging’ feature in the last update and I just mentioned on the chatbot how it would be great if they could include the ‘Dales 30’ mountains, literally within 10 minutes they’d come back to me and made it live. Genuinely stunned at the service.
Frankly I wouldn’t go elsewhere for a mapping app, theres nothing better out there and I’ve tried them all.

Improving
Definitely euro centric with limited application to USA. Some nice features but most development appears to be directed to somewhat gimmicky features forgetting real hiking needs. Software feels bloated with too many screens required for simple tasks.

My favourite hiking app
I love this app it’s by far my favourite hiking app, and I have tried a few.
The guys that develop this are always listening to the community and constantly releasing new features.

The best maps app for hikers
Having used a variety of apps for planning and walking hikes. I’ve now moved over to HiiKER now and I think with all its recent improvements it’s now the best app for hikers.

Brilliant app the old maps you have access to are brilliant finding old railway tracks, etc etc is a game changer. New additions being made consistently. I have switched from OS Maps
