### 3/5 — Almost perfect

*2025-12-30, version 3.1.1*

Please add town names, street names, etc. to the satellite map, then its 5 stars. Currently having a blank map is really inconvenient. If location names are added I will buy the paid version.

### 3/5 — Problema ao abrir links

*2025-04-25, version 3.1.1*

Quando recebo link de um trajeto feito por outra pessoa, o app abre mas não  carrega o trajeto.

### 3/5 — It’s pretty decent…but

*2022-04-16*

Android has OSM maps as a base layer, but iOS doesn’t.

### 2/5 — Loading problem

*2021-10-28*

Hi I really like your app and have bought the premium version.

I am having major issues with loading after even drawing 300 meters and is making the process of drawing my trip around Australia very painful.  

I have even taken off the snap to roads automatically to make the app not work as hard and have now shut down any other options in the settings menu bit it has made no difference at all . 

I have a I phone Xs max and have 4G service so I don’t know why I’m having problems. 

I hope you can help . 

Thanks 

Guy

### 4/5 — Très bonne application mais….

*2021-05-10, version 3.0.0*

Excellente implication, pratique à utiliser et correspond à ce que j’attendais. Il est dommage qu’il soit impossible d’utiliser les achats intégrés pour passer en mode VIP. Je changerai ma note quand cela sera corrigé.

### 2/5 — Mehr schlecht als recht...

*2021-03-23, version 2.2.0*

Fange ich damit mal an, dass ohne Standortsuche nichts auf der Karte zu finden ist, da Städe oder Dörfer nicht markiert/benannt sind.  Möchte man also spontan mal in einer fremden Region eine Route erstellen, wird es schwierig... Hat man seinen Ort aber gefunden, kommt das nächste. Man malt sich die ersten Meter und bekommt eine Endlose Ladeuhr mit der Folge, dass keine anderen Eingaben der App mehr funktionieren. Schade.

### 4/5 — Solid route planner.

*2020-11-18*

Basically you draw a line and save it. You can then follow this. For me that's allowing me to drive along unfamiliar suburban routes. 

(This is a planner app, not a route recorder app, in case the reader is also looking at that)

Trial mode is just one short route but MOST importantly, purchase is a reasonable price, you don't get charged for features, and it's not that stupid subscription model which I will never do. 

Don't zoom out too far or the snap-to-roads goes all over the shop. I presume that's the google API? 

To Jose.. 
It would be good to have an Open Street Map option. 

It would be good if the app didn't default to opening a route with the final node in edit mode. An accidental gesture can mess with the route. Oddly the rest of the settings have no option after save to modify anything so I can't change the route colour or style. 

A feature I want to see implemented is a toggle (using the existing centre-my-location button) to keep the current position centered so that I don't have to keep adjusting the map at every stoplight. If you could redraw the blue dot over the top of the route-line that would also help while driving. 

Not terribly important but it's odd that only one route can be displayed at a time. A checkbox style route selector could be used to toggle visibility of multiple routes (for comparison or as optional paths while driving). 

There's a noticeable lack of bloat which I appreciate but a simple page of helpful notes under the 'about' menu-option would have been good. 

I use a completely different tool to _record_ tracks in real time, which this app doesn't do. I haven't needed to import any of those to this app but I'm glad that I can.

### 5/5 — Maravillosa app

*2020-06-26, version 2.0.1*

Realmente práctica, sencilla...para llevar siempre encima. La había bajado y dejado para otro día... se me olvidó su utilidad en navegación, gran fallo, debería su titulo hacer referencia a su uso. Cuando la he retomado me di cuenta que es la herramienta que busco en otras app, pero en sencillo, a mano, con enormes posibilidades prácticas off road, ojalá tb usara app mapas, un acierto!!!

### 1/5 — Dont waste your money

*2020-06-25*

This app is garbage. Easily confused and cant map interstates for nothing. Save your cash

**Developer response:** Why is our app garbage? It does what it says it does. You can plan routes using your finger, get the total distance and time estimate among many others. All the best.

### 5/5 — Amazing app!!

*2020-06-20, version 1.4.6*

This app is life changing. So well thought out and insanely useful 👌👌👌

### 1/5 — Serious Bug

*2026-08-07*

Just downloaded for the first time and was very excited to try this app. There’s a serious bug currently that is rendering the app unusable. Would love to try it for real and be able to update my review, hope the devs fix this soon!

**Developer response:** Thanks for giving the app a try, and sorry for the rough first impression! We’d really like to get this fixed. Could you email us at lapacadevs@gmail.com with a few details — your device model, OS version, and what you were doing when the bug appeared (a screenshot or short video helps a lot)? We’ll get on it right away and let you know once it’s resolved.

### 1/5 — Map Spins out

*2026-04-08*

Tried using the draw function with the upgrade for cars, it spins out!  I left it alone for 30 minutes and still just spins out, no support on app..waste of $$

### 1/5 — Useless

*2023-01-05, version 3.1.1*

Its not work well. Just wasted app

### 1/5 — Freezes up

*2021-07-18*

You draw to the end of the screen and then you just get the spinning wheel and does not stop. I brought the full version same.

### 1/5 — Constant buffering

*2021-06-06, version 3.0.3*

Hi, 
I wanted to use the app yesterday to work out a running distance, unfortunately all I got was a constant buffering symbol. I deleted the app and downloaded again and no luck the same buffering, I also tried to restore purchases again buffering, however, when I used the upgrade button as a test I was asked to purchase said app again, once paid for I’m not buying again if already upgraded. Please sort out.

### 1/5 — Glitches- and nobody will contact me back

*2021-05-21*

This app seems like it would be the greatest! However it glitches out when I change it to anything from running. There’s no option to pay to have kayaking work. I’ve emailed the app and nobody will contact me back. I’d be willing to change this review if I got the problem resolved, thank you!

### 1/5 — It stopped working once I paid

*2021-03-23, version 2.2.0*

It was a great app so I paid for ad free and now I can literally do nothing, the loading wheel comes up infinitely

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work properly

*2021-01-08, version 2.1.4*

Need to keep going back. Doesn’t stick to route.

### 1/5 — Terrible App!!

*2020-11-08, version 2.1.3*

I’ve tried to use this a few times now, the ads keep coming up. I’m unable to zoom in without drawing an extra part onto my route, the road names don’t show up properly.
Total waste of £3!!

### 1/5 — Was a good app...

*2020-10-27*

***Response to admin, yes, I see the option but I also see you have to pay for the option.  I found another app that does not charge. I’ll use that one.***I liked the app until the last update. Now the route suddenly “snaps to roads” and completely changes the route I take. Will not let me walk around walking track in neighborhood and even adds loops and stuff that I don’t take because there happens to be a street I walked by.  Very disappointed now. Wish I’d never updated, deleting app and looking for something else.

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear you did not like our latest update. It is actually possible to disable the auto-snap to roads and enable it only when needed. Please give it another try! All the best, Lapaca Devs

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2026-02-20, version 3.1.1*

O melhor app gratuito para desenhar suas rotas de corrida. Pena que na hora de exportar para o Runna, dá erro.

### 5/5 — The best map route planner app

*2025-04-26, version 3.1.1*

Easy and straightforward and up to date

### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for

*2024-04-08, version 3.1.1*

Planning my running route through drawing on a map, calculating the distance 👍

### 5/5 — Sehr nützliche App!

*2023-06-09, version 3.1.1*

Sehr nützliche App um eine Route über Nebenstraßen aufzuzeichnen und z.B. in andere Navi Apps zu exportieren.

### 5/5 — Streckenplanung

*2023-03-27, version 3.1.1*

Super geeignet für Mantrailing

### 5/5 — Best map my route app without subscription

*2021-03-16, version 2.2.0*

This is a great app, so easy to use, the route doesn’t auto snap into place, but with that being the only things I could say I’m loving this app, no subscription, just route your run and go! Amazing!!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2021-02-25, version 2.2.0*

This is a great app if you want to make your own routes. It also gives you elevation information which is vital for long distance cycling routes.

### 5/5 — Awesome App...Trailblazer 🏃5️⃣⭐️💥

*2021-02-02, version 2.2.0*

I’ve been using this app for awhile now and must say it’s my go to app for all my trail run planning. I’ve never had an issue with the app crashing even though I run beta iOS firmware (usually have other apps that run into problems whilst on beta). 

Someone mentioned not being able to re-edit a saved route which I agree should be fixed. Allows for faster workflow when you want more variety on specific areas without having to start from scratch. Also the ability to reorder the saved routes in your order of preference would be a great addition (collections is a nice touch still). I use a garmin watch for my trail runs and have never used the gpx file transfer feature offered but it’s a good touch although seen a comment on it being not useable. Normally I would just use garmin websites to plan routes that I need syncing to watch but this app I use on the fly giving me a rough idea when I quickly just want to know trail distance of a quick run. Again as someone mentioned the fact that you draw extra routes when your wanting pinch to zoom can be quite annoying at times. Not a deal breaker but maybe more user friendly interface to solve that issue would be welcoming. 

Overall, I love this app and it has served me well. I’ve given it 5⭐️ at it hasn’t given me any bother to the point of frustration. 

No app is perfect although developers strive for it to be. App evolves with user constructive criticism or ideas with developers taking feedback great or bad as a positive. 

Double thumbs up from me 👍👍

### 5/5 — Exactly what I’ve been looking for!

*2020-09-04*

I wanted an app to map out motorcycle routes exploring back roads. Ive tried every gps/route app I could get and most let you drop “pins” or “waypoints” but they recalculate your route to use main roads. Meaning you have a ton of work to do to remap parts of the route. This app allows you to tell it where you want to go, most apps tell you where to go. This is perfect for exploring...

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the review! Glad to hear you find our app useful. This feedback is fuel for us. All the best, Lapaca Devs

### 5/5 — Einfach Klasse

*2020-07-12, version 2.0.2*

Einfach zu bedienen und gut gemacht. Prima.
