lots of great info!

Not sure why people giving this a one star. I think that’s unfair. The app has tons of information and is easy to use. They are still updating areas, but what has been completed seems very professional. And it’s much more comprehensive than other similar apps.

Response from developer

Hi, Just shoot us an email at nextascentguides@gmail.com and we will make sure you can get access. To bypass the launch screen all you need to do is click the orange sign up button.

Scam

This app is a scam. I paid for a guide and then about a month later opened the app to all of a sudden being prompted to sign in. They had no problem taking my 14$ for the guide without a sign in. I’ve entered my email to reset my login password on the oft chance that I ever had to even sign-in to begin with, and have not received a password reset.

The app itself is quite terrible from a UX perspective, but I was looking past it. Now I think this is just theft.

Response from developer

Hi Tom Tom, We are for certainly not a scam. And I sincerely apologize for any issues you are having with a password reset. Just email us I will fix it :) Please email me at nextascentguides@gmail.com or under the FAQ/Support tab in the app where there is a section explaining how to contact us if you have an issue with guidebooks and contact info. Please email us and we will fix any sign in issue you have. We recently started offering full-library access which is why you are now prompted to sign in, but you will always own the guide you purchased forever. Sometimes the password reset email hits your junk or spam folder. Please email me at nextascentguides@gmail.com or under that FAQ/Support tab in the app. I will make certain you can access your guidebook. We have an email and phone number for support and I want to make sure you can access the guide you got. Thanks so much

Great climbing resource

Good beta, I like the interface, easy to navigate and the topo view of the routes is spot on for our local crags in PA! Well worth it!!!
