### 5/5 — Awesome topo app

*2026-08-03, version 1.8.13*

This is a brilliant topo mapping app —actively developing but already great for trail and route planning (using it in Colorado at the moment). Love it!

### 5/5 — gute App

*2026-07-19*

alles drin was man braucht. Meiner Meinung nach die beste Kartendarstellung.

**Developer response:** Danke!

### 2/5 — Kein Vergleich zur Android Version

*2026-07-04*

Im Vergleich zur selben App für Android hat diese iOS Version fast kaum Optionen, Möglichkeiten, keine AddOns, etc. Leider fast vollständig enttäuschend, diese App.

### 5/5 — 更新更新，

*2026-05-29*

安卓版很优秀。，请尽快适配ios版，强烈期待

### 2/5 — Keine Verbesserung

*2026-05-26*

Leider kann ich seit meiner letzten Rezession vor einem Jahr keine sinnvolle Verbesserung feststellen. Im Gegenteil. Es häufen sich die Wanderungen, deren Aufzeichnung die App bei einer Pause sinnvoller Weise selbstständig anhält, doch dann nicht mehr fortführt. Das heißt, ich habe nun schon die vierte halbe Wanderung aufgezeichnet. Das ist sehr ärgerlich, da ich für die Vollversion der App  bezahle, aber wenig Nutzen erkenne. Auf anderen Systemen funktioniert die App einwandfrei, nur bei Apple nicht. Woran liegt das? Es wäre nett, eine Reaktion der Entwickler hierzu zu lesen.

**Developer response:** Hallo, bitte kontaktieren Sie uns über unseren Helpdesk. Uns sind keine Probleme bekannt, die eine stabile Aktivitätsaufzeichnung verhindern. Die App-Entwicklung wird fortgesetzt – mit der neuesten Version können Sie jetzt Routen direkt in der App planen!

### 2/5 — Nur bedingt für iOS geeignet

*2026-04-07*

Habe versucht mich für eine gespeicherte Radtour navigieren zu lassen. Es war mir nicht möglich eine Navigation mit sprachlicher Führung zu starten. Habe das Abo wieder gekündigt. Scheint wohl nur für android Programmiert zu sein. Mit dem iPhone hat es nicht funktioniert

**Developer response:** Hallo, die vollständige Navigationsfunktion ist noch nicht in der App enthalten. Aber sie wird kommen!

### 5/5 — Noch nicht perfekt aber sehr gut

*2026-03-20*

Ein paar Macken hat die App noch aber wir sind damit in Nepal bis zum Everest Base Camp gewandert und auch auf unserer einjährigen Weltreise hat sie uns wirklich öfters tolle Dienste geleistet wo andere Karten Apps nicht funktioniert haben.
Das herunterladen der offline Karten ist super! Hier würd ich mir nur sehr eine Suchfunktion oder eine Kategoriesierung der Regionen wünschen - ich suche ewig nach den Bereichen die ich benötige. 

Danke für eure Arbeit! Wir nutzen die App sehr gern überall auf der Welt!

**Developer response:** Hallo, vielen Dank für die Bewertung! Schön zu hören, dass die App bereits so große Abenteuer unterstützt! Die Suche nach Offline-Karten steht auf unserer To-do-Liste.

### 4/5 — Mit einer Navigationsfunktion wäre es super

*2026-03-18*

Mir gefällt wirklich vieles an dieser App. Es sind sehr viele kleinere Wald- und Wiesenwege mit eingezeichnet und die Karten selber sind übersichtlich gestaltet.

Würde jetzt noch eine Navigationsfunktion eingerichtet werden, wäre es perfekt. 
Dann würde ich vielleicht auch ein Abonnement abschließen.

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback! Die Navigationsfunktion steht selbstverständlich auf unserer Roadmap, wird aber in den kommenden Monaten nicht verfügbar sein.

### 2/5 — Only LoMaps offline

*2026-02-19*

I switched from Android to iOS. Using AndroMaps is not possible. LoMaps are not good enough. Wondering if AndroMaps will sometimes be supported? Further I have the silver subscription. Do not know what to do with it on iOS though…

**Developer response:** Hi, support for external maps is of course planned, but for now we are focusing on different priorities, like planner. So stay tuned, please. All implemented features related to Silver on Android are for the free on iOS for now. If you want to go higher and enjoy offline LoMaps or synchronize your library, activate Gold. However switching subscriptions from Android to iOS is not seamless. If you plan to stay on iOS, we recommend to cancel your old plan under your Google account and purchase new via iOS.

### 4/5 — Gut, aber eingeschränkter Funktionsumfang

*2026-02-02*

die App finde ich an sich super. Insbesondere die Möglichkeit, Touren in Ordnern zu verwalten, die ich einzeln ein- und ausblenden kann. Unterwegs sehe ich dann nicht nur die aktuelle Tour, sondern auch wo ich zuvor schon war oder gerne noch hin möchte. Das eröffnet ganz neue Möglichkeiten. Leider ist der Funktionsumfang eher rudimentär und bei weitem nicht so groß wie in der Locus map Android App. Aktuell habe ich deswegen mein Probeabo wieder gekündigt. Wenn die App weiterentwickelt ist und mehr Funktionen zur Verfügung stehen, komme ich gerne wieder.
