### 5/5 — very handy and useful for hikes

*2023-08-15, version 5.0*

It's a very straightforward program and keeps nice records simple to use which is great these days. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to keep track of their hikes, walks whatever quite nice.

### 5/5 — Best hiking app out there

*2019-06-30, version 4.5*

This app is great - does or all. I can follow my progress on several maps - standard, satellite, hybrid, 3D - wow. Very accurate.

Very intuitive. Just press a button and ofd you go. Turns off the hike if you want when you get back to starting point. 

It synchs automatically to both my iphone & ipad. 

The price is low and well worth it. I do worry that this app is so good the developers will do what all the other hiking apps did - turn it into a subscription service.
