## What is HKF?

The Hallwag Kümmerly+Frey app - your perfect partner

Whether you walk, snowshoe, bike, drive or travel by any other means, you’ll need two things to totally gear up:

1.the Hallwag Kümmerly+Frey app on your smartphone or tablet
2.up-to-date Hallwag Kümmerly+Frey AG map materials from the market (maps, directions, etc.)


Attention:
If the App is moved to the background, the GPS-receiving continues. This can quickly discharge the battery. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

With this deal, you’ll get the appropriate Hallwag or Kummerly + Frey map information such as a road map, bike or mountain bike path, hiking trails, ski and snowshoe trails, outdoor maps, Atlas Navigator Europe, etc. The offer is versatile, leaves nothing to be desired and you’ll also be able to select your preferred title.

When purchasing the maps, make sure to take advantage of the "free map on smartphone included." Only this guarantees your access code inside the map which entitles you to download the map contents for free onto your smartphone or tablet using the Hallwag Kümmerly+Frey app. You’ll immediately be able to plan routes, save completed routes, know where you are in real time, find the nearest hotel or public transport stop and so much more. If you do outdoor sports or are faced with poor weather conditions, the Hallwag Kümmerly+Frey app can especially be helpful.

Thanks to Hallwag Kümmerly+Frey, there’s nothing in the way of your freedom and unlimited mobility.

We recommend you download the extensive map data in a location with internet access (like WLAN/WiFi). GPS reception is required for subsequent use of your device as a navigation system. This may correspondingly impact the battery capacity.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2024-12-01*

This app has not been designed to be used by humans

### 1/5 — Terrible App

*2023-04-11*

Primitive, useless

### 5/5 — Hallwag Map

*2017-06-14, version 2.32*

This is a book of maps of Europe with version download for iPhone. It started out fine, worked for three weeks and then quit. There is no way to re-download or correct it. Contacted the company in Switzerland and received an instant response with a new activation code, but that didn't work either. The map book is very good, but I'm disappointed that the download failed.
Update:  The company in Switzerland has been very responsive and helpful, but their digital map is worthless. Received another new code from the company and 
it failed again, and again, and again. Apart from good customer service, having this digital map on your iPhone is worthless.

### 1/5 — Download not working at all

*2015-09-17*

I tried downloading a map on this app with the code given on a paper map I had bought and it keeps getting stuck in the last stage (after entering the code) I've updated everything and problem still persists. A bit useless, this app, it seems.
