It is incredibly accurate- 5 metres off the path and it shows- and crucially can be used off-line (especially useful given the location). Hopefully I will continue to use for a number of years yet. Thank you. **Developer response:** Congratulations on your achievement and thanks for such positive feedback. It’s always a pleasure to read reviews like this. The developers are delighted it’s been proven to be useful to so many users. It was always our intention to create an app that would help people. We have intentions to further develop the app and release a new version in the future. ### 3/5 — Which way to walk ? *2024-05-29, version 2.1.1* Location dot needs to be an arrow so you know which way to walk from cane to get right path . With that this would definitely be a 5 star plus app ### 5/5 — The best app *2024-01-27, version 2.1.1* Don’t bother reading the reviews just get it, use it and remember to take your portable battery charger ### 4/5 — Search function not working *2023-11-23* Like the review below, I have used this app for years and it has been brilliant. Unfortunately now the search function is faulty. When search is clicked, the search bar is nearly fully hidden at the top of the screen. While can still search, I cannot see the search bar and once I have selected a fell, I cannot exit the search function or go back. I have to fully close the app and reopen. I really hope this can be fixed as this is my main way of planning all my routes. Thanks **Developer response:** Thanks for the review. Testing with an iPhone 11 and iOS 17.1.1 doesn’t reproduce the fault in portrait mode. It does look like there is an issue in landscape mode. Please update to the latest version of iOS and retry in portrait mode. ### 3/5 — Search function not working properly *2023-11-16* I love this app and have been using it for years but in the last month it has stopped working properly. I’m running IOS17.0.3 If I type in the fell I am looking for the search function finds it but there is no visible search button (I’m effectively typing onto the screen image of the Lake District) This means I cannot access the map to check routes or clear the fell I was searching for Please can you assist **Developer response:** Thanks for the review comments and feedback. After testing your scenario with iOS 7.1.1 the fault described is not reproduced. Please update to the latest version of iOS and retry. ### 5/5 — Very useful, beautiful maps *2023-10-04* This app was very useful on a recent trip to the Lake District, both for walking around town and for a larger hike. The maps are easy to read and helped me discover wonderful places like the Sheriff’s Walk in Bowness. ### 5/5 — Errr… what they said. Brilliant. *2023-03-30* Difficult to say anything more than others already have, but this is head and shoulders above any other app you’re going to find for the Lakes. While I always carry a paper map just in case I rarely, if ever, need to refer to it. A compass to check direction and OS locate to check altitude if the weather is really bad is a good idea, but otherwise you can’t really do better than this. Has got me up and down 207 of the 214s via multiple routes without any problem. There are lots of paths in the Lakes that aren’t old public rights of way so aren’t included, as with OS, but being able to important others’ gpx files sorts that one out. Some of finer detail of OS maps is missing - walls, etc - but it also removes a lot of the clutter, and the colouring makes it a lot easier to read than the horrible red and orange mess of OS. In a word, brilliant. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2023-03-09* Love the app. Used it for multiple trips to the lakes without failure. I have used it far more times than a paid for OS map. I would go as far as saying it’s the best app I’ve got for value for money. I have one very small issue that does bother me slightly… every few times coming off the app and going back onto it, I get a pop up asking me to rate the app. I wish there was a way to stop this. It’s a little frustrating when out walking in poor weather and wanting to go between apps for things. Thank you. **Developer response:** Updated response 24/03/20... iOS 13.4 seems to have fixed this issue. Please download iOS 13.4 (released today) and retest. Previous response... Thanks for the positive feedback. Here's some guidance re: your request for information about downloading gpx files.... https://www.facebook.com/JOMOMaps/posts/733846250115287 ### 5/5 — Best walking app *2022-10-08, version 2.1.1* Excellent app. Easy to use.
