### 1/5 — Lächerlich

*2026-04-07*

Seit über fünf Jahren ist diese App auf iOS unbenutzbar, reagiert nicht auf Eingaben usw.. Lächerlich! Warum die Bücher immernoch, auch heute noch, mit Codes für diesen Müll verkauft werden ist mir unerklärlich!

### 5/5 — Tolle App

*2025-10-14*

Wenn man sich zum ersten Mal mit dem Büchercode anmelden möchte, muss man die App nach dem Download einmal komplett schließen (auch den Task beenden). Als ich dann nach dem erneuten Öffnen, den Büchercode eingegeben habe, hatte ich keine Fehlermeldung mehr und das Buch wurde runtergeladen. 

Nach erfolgreicher Anmeldung wird einem eine Karte angezeigt, an der man sehen kann, in welchem Gebiet sich wie viele Klettergebiete befinden. 
Wenn man eins auswählt, bekommt man zunächst eine Kurzbeschreibung des ausgewählten Gebiets:
- Name des Gebiets
-Wie viele Routen in welchen Schwierigkeiten
-„Geh zum Parkplatz“ Button: Wenn man den drückt, bekommt man auf Karten direkt Wegvorschläge, wie es zu Fuß/mit dem Auto zu erreichen ist. 

Dann kann man noch die Buttons „Durchblättern“ oder „Schau dir den Führer an“ auswählen. 
Man kommt im PDF-Download des Buchs direkt auf die entsprechende Seite/n, des ausgewählten Klettergebiets. 

Das ist wirklich klasse und funktioniert zuverlässig!

Tolle erweiterte Nutzung des Buchs, ohne schwere Topo dabeihaben zu müssen :)

(möglicherweise gab es ein Software Update, sodass die Kritik der Vergangenheit möglicherweise ausgebessert wurde)

### 2/5 — Code doesn’t work

*2025-05-18*

I am „not authorised“

**Developer response:** Good morning, please read the FAQ before proceeding with the review.
If you have any problems, please contact us at iclimbing@versantesud.it and we'll resolve the issue within the same day.

### 1/5 — Takes forever to load

*2025-03-24*

Trying to explore what route we can climb next, but the app takes forever to load! Really minutes. I rather carry the book to the crag

### 2/5 — Leider werden Buch-Codes nur gesamte PDF geladen

*2024-06-05*

Nach der Eingabe des Buchcodes kann man das gesamte Buch in der App als PDF herunterladen. Wählt man jedoch auf der Karte einen Klettergarten aus, so erhält man nicht den passenden Abschnitt aus dem Buch, sondern wird dazu aufgefordert, die Topo für diesen Klettergarten zu kaufen. Schöner wäre es, wenn die entsprechenden Seiten des Buchs, das man gekauft hat, angezeigt würden.

### 1/5 — No login possible

*2024-02-08*

Bought the physical copy of the book. Download code for the app does not work.

**Developer response:** Contact support for same-day resolution. iclimbing@versantesud.it

### 1/5 — Code unauthorized

*2023-08-29*

Bought the book, wanted to register the code to get access to all the Topos which I already paid for.. apparently the code printed in the book is unauthorized, whatever that means. Now this app ist completely useless to me.

### 2/5 — No offline usability

*2023-08-18*

The “downloaded“ files are only available when you have internet connection. Very unhelpful in the mountains!

### 1/5 — Code in Book was invalid?

*2023-06-23*

I just bought the Dolomites sport Climbing guidebook and now wanted to unlock the topo in this App: „Code is Invalid“…

**Developer response:** Write to assistance to solve the problem.

### 1/5 — Has potential but too buggy to use today

*2023-05-01*

Nice looking app, but within minutes I had a hang which couldn’t be cleared by restarting. I had to reinstall but purchases were only partially restored: I can see the whole book pdf but it now asks me to buy the sectors again.
The map isn’t usable where there are many crags as it groups nearby ones together, but you can’t zoom in enough to view them separately and get at the info. 
Fortunately the paper book looks great, I’ll use that for now and update this review if there is an update to the app. All the best to the developers (are you aware of these problems?)
