Beware that if you subscribe, your subscription defaults to automatically renew and Newtracs refuses to refund your money. I subscribed and was not satisfied with the app and hadn’t planned to renew my subscription. The money was then taken from my account, I reached out to Newtracs and kindly requested a refund out of good will to which they declined. ### 4/5 — Good, but could be better *2026-08-13, version 3.0.3* Great app. Still undecided if a membership is worth paying for. There are a few irritating things that could surely be fixed. Whenever you come out of the app and go back in it has re-centred on your current location. Really annoying when you are trying to plan a drive. When you select a track in an area that has several interlinking it is impossible to tell what section the information relates to. Would surely be easy for the selected track/section to highlight a different colour. The colour coding for tracks doesn’t match the difficulty grades. No idea what they mean. Seems too easy to drop a pin. So I constantly find myself deleting pins. I think if they fixed up some of these things I’d be all the more likely to sink money in a subscription **Developer response:** Thanks for taking the time to leave such detailed feedback. We really appreciate it! We'll definitely take your suggestions on board, particularly around keeping the map position while planning, making the selected track stand out more clearly, and improving the pin-dropping experience.

Let’s see what’s ahead? ### 4/5 — No car play for free version *2026-07-27, version 3.0.0* No car play for free version. That's the only downside I think this has ### 3/5 — Didn’t bother *2026-07-26, version 2.32.4* I got to the sign up page on a mobile and gave up - wall of questions and data you don’t need. ### 4/5 — Feedback *2026-07-05, version 2.32.4* Overall pretty good, if it had option for 3d maps it would be better and the track rating system/vehicle rating system is a bit off, I’ve found a lot of the tracks rated difficult/very difficult are not rated appropriately as I’ve been able to do them in a stock vehicle, the rating system is abit weird, could have 40” tyres, 9”lift and still only be rated for medium tracks, only time the difficulty rating raises is if you add lockers ### 3/5 — Cant sync routes between devices *2026-07-03, version 2.32.4* I’m trialling this app and it would be a 5 stars… except that it doesn’t sync across my iPad to my iPhone. So basically spent all night planning routes only to find in the morning that I had to do it all over again on my iPhone. So it’s a 3 stars and if I can’t figure it out it’s a cancellation of the premium subscription. Shouldn’t be this complicated. ### 5/5 — Great and easy to use *2026-06-21, version 2.32.4* Very good idea have the tracks color code. ### 5/5 — Survey *2026-06-18, version 2.32.4* Awesome detail mapping system wow unreal ### 2/5 — Won’t work on iPad *2026-06-14, version 2.32.4* Tried everything to get Newtracs working on iPad without success. Tried on a spare same issue crashes just after the map loads. Contacted support over a week ago and haven’t been responsive yet. ### 4/5 — Hilly Billy 4x4ing *2026-06-05, version 2.32.4* It is so good ### 5/5 — Great *2026-06-01, version 2.32.4* Good app always got me around ### 2/5 — Not satisfied *2026-05-30, version 2.32.4* Took me to a fire trail tjst you aren’t even allowed to drive on, the actual maps to get to the tracks is terrible just dosnt work ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Disappointed Update *2026-09-18, version 3.1.1* App had few issues and now it has more... 1-Most of the tracks are unnamed however they do have names. 2-App doesn’t let you prefer trails when navigating even if the toggle is on. (Always tries to take you on pavement) 3-App doesn’t thoroughly search places like: state forests, lakes and/or famous tracks. Instead it opts for places in overseas. 4-Some boundaries are wrong and/or hard to see. All my mates and I decided to stop our subscription until these issues are fixed. Sad to see that the only improvement was the user interface… ### 1/5 — Pulsing Cursor & Mini Fonts… slow … cuts off when offline.. Too slow in general! Don’t get Premium. *2026-09-04, version 3.1.0* The app is ok when it works, but even playing it through carplay on my 11inch monitor, you can barely see the topo lines or read the names of places. The cursor continues “pulsing snd lagging” making it hard to stay on track even at low speeds. Safe yourself the time and get the new HEMA. Premium is not working when online just a waste of time. It freezes continuously. ### 1/5 — Ai fake tracks *2026-09-02, version 3.0.5* Unverified tracks, confirmed non 4wd tracks, this app is now useless. You betrayed your customer base in the rush to adopt ai, now all your data is questionable. What a useless pivot for your company. Could have had a great app and community. What a stupid decision. ### 1/5 — Pulsing Cursor & Mini Fonts… *2026-08-25, version 3.0.5* The app is ok, but even playing it through carplay on my 11inch monitor, you can barely see the topo lines or read the names of places. The cursor continues to”pulsing” making it hard to stay on track even at low speeds. ### 1/5 — Not user friendly *2026-08-24, version 3.0.5* I found this app very difficult to use compared to other nav apps. I’ve ended my subscription. ### 1/5 — Great App *2026-07-20, version 2.32.4* Great App easy to use. Highly Recommend.Supporting Volunteers is amazing 🤩 ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-06-15, version 2.32.4* Showed no tracks in NT or SA west coast. Deleted and unsubscribed. ### 1/5 — Pricing *2026-05-10, version 2.32.4* Bumped up prices this year way too high. And for what? ### 1/5 — poor quality mapping App *2026-05-10, version 2.32.4* Do not waste your money. Very low quality map. Lacking any real information. Promising tracks recorded by other users however when you try to open track there is nothing there. Asked for refund same day I subscribed and they admitted that there was something wrong with it. Got offered additional 2 months free subscription for something I can’t use! ### 1/5 — 1 star until you implement GPX exports *2026-04-02, version 2.32.1* Has been a promised feature for well over a year now. My data is my data, I use Organic Maps for trip logging now and GPX export to view on PC greatly helps when planning future trips, and lets me keep a record of all the fun places I’ve been. I will not be locked to an app, and I will not contribute to trip logging or pay for premium (again) until you give me access to MY DATA ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Mr *2026-09-20, version 3.1.1* Great app very easy ### 5/5 — Great app, great tracks *2026-09-03, version 3.1.0* I use this app every time we go off road and in to the bush. Highly recommended it! Tree bank you for listening to my suggestion and adding “add photo” feature! Best off road app!! ### 5/5 — Good *2026-08-01, version 3.0.0* Good ### 5/5 — Great *2026-07-30, version 3.0.0* Great app for off-roading! ### 5/5 — Fantastic app *2026-07-20, version 2.32.4* Love this app. Up to date info and their offer of free premium subscription for volunteers is much appreciated. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-07-18, version 2.32.4* Great even for dirt bike riding. 😁 ### 5/5 — It keeps crashing *2026-07-16, version 2.32.4* I love this app it’s great and it’s free😄 But it keeps crashing on me as soon as it finds my location it crashes it worked for the first six months but it doesn’t work now. Not sure if it’s just my phone it’s an iPhone 8 ### 5/5 — Off the main road *2026-07-15, version 2.32.4* First heard about Newtracs 3 years ago. I have loved using it any time we head off the main roads. Great for trip planning and tracking where we have been. The more we use it and input data the better it is for everyone. ### 5/5 — New to tracks? Get Newtracs *2026-07-11, version 2.32.4* Great app. More up to date information than any other map. Really useful track grading information. The one 4WD app. that I see as a necessity! ### 5/5 — Nice App but I don’t like subscriptions *2026-06-28, version 2.32.4* Nice App but I don’t like subscriptions --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
