Das Ding macht was es soll

Einfach Tracks aufzeichnen ohne viel Schnickschnack.

Edit v9.0.0: Leider kann mann zum Teilen der Dateien nicht mehr alles auswählen, und muss jeden Track einzeln markieren. Das sollte bitte nochmal nachgereicht werden.

Edit 9.2.0: Problem schnell gefixt und noch besser gestaltete Trackliste und Sharesheet dazubekommen. Vorschaugrafiken im Store zeigen noch die alte Version.

Response from developer

Das „Alles Auswählen“-Feature kommt in Kürze zurück. Das ist bei der neuen Version leider irgendwie unter die Räder gekommen.

Verbesserte Darstellung und Support

Ich verwende die App schon seit Jahren und bin sehr zufrieden damit. Mit der v9 kam das Update im Zusammenhang mit Liquid Glass und geänderter Bedienerführung. Die Darstellung ist nun auch wieder für iPhone 13/15 Pro im Querformat prima.
Der Support ist klasse, auf Fragen wird geantwortet, Wünsche werden nach Möglichkeit berücksichtigt. Das finde ich selten! Alle Daumen hoch!

Superbe application

Déjà très content de l’application, l’occasion du redesign est l’occasion de rafraîchir mon avis 5 étoiles fait… il y a 7 ans. Je renouvelle : ça vaut les 5 étoiles. Notamment, le mode journal pour tracker des vacances… puis tagguer les photos, est impeccable.

エラーは修正されましたので、評価もそれに合わせて調整していただければ幸いです。ディルク・スティヒリング

Klasse

Dieses Update ist sehr gut gelungen! My Tracks ist dadurch deutlich übersichtlicher geworden. Ein kleiner Kritikpunkt bleibt jedoch: der Speicherort der aufgezeichneten Tracks. Es wäre schön, wenn diese nicht in einer versteckten Partition des Cloud-Speichers abgelegt würden. Ein frei wählbarer Speicherort würde das Sichern und Einbinden in andere Apps erheblich vereinfachen. Dennoch bleibt die App für mich die erste Wahl beim Aufzeichnen!
