Confusing
The app is OK, it is a mapping app and the maps work. I find it slow, not intuitive, difficult to navigate the screens and you end up wondering how you get back to the screen you left. I had the OS map system before but the cost went up so I decided to change. Maybe it’s the change I don’t like? I can’t find a map legend so I can’t see if the route is a footpath etc. I have not been on a hike with it yet - maybe that’s where it will impress me. Up to now though, it’s not great.

Best app for exploring everywhere
The app is brilliant. Well thought out and constantly updated as a result of user feedback. I messaged at 9.45pm and I got a reply from the ceo. Listened to my suggestion and then implemented it.
The webinars are worth a watch, so many features. From phone masts to LiDAR to audio descriptions.
Just get it. Thanks guys

It’s not all it’s cracked up to be
I have been sat on the fence about this app for some years now. Waiting for it to develop. It was clear to me that the developer wanted to make a genuinely good app. Being a fan of Harveys maps I was excited to see them as part of this app. I checked back in to see how this app was shaping and I kept reading good things. Annoyed by the constant price increases from Komoot, Outdoor Active and OS I was happy to take the punt in the recent sale and pay £15 for a years subscription to Hiker. I was immediately impressed with various aspects of the app.
That was until I tried to plan an activity. This was actually a local mostly road ride. I first tried to import a GPX file from another app. This loaded but on the Hiker map it put lines where lines shouldn’t be. It looped back on its self extending my original route recorded on the other app. I gave up and removed the file. I then manually plotted the route. This was fine at the start then for some odd reason kept snapping lines where they shouldn’t be. It also wouldn’t allow me to add an extension to my return near to my house no matter how hard I tried or what input change I made. I have immediately lost trust in this app and feel like I’ve waster my money. There’s a reason the big boys charge what they do. However bitter that pill is to swallow. For now I cant recommend this app but I hope at some point that changes. Because I want to see this become a success.
