Schrott!

Startet gar nicht, habe es eben nach dem letzten Update noch mal versucht. Wieder nichts! Diese Schrott App öffnet nicht einmal eine halbe Sekunde, dann fliegt man wieder raus.

Response from developer

Sie hatten recht, und es tut mir leid. Das war ein echter Fehler: Die App ist beim Start abgestürzt, während sie den Zugriff auf Health angefragt hat. Behoben ist das in Version 10.3, die jetzt im App Store ist — die App startet damit wieder normal. Falls es bei Ihnen weiterhin nicht läuft, melden Sie sich bitte über www.andreapiani.com, dann sehe ich mir das persönlich an. — Andrea, OpenMaps

Lädt Kacheln oft nicht

Oder extrem verzögert. Stattdessen sieht man dann nur AppleMaps. Und dann noch ein Abo? Nein danke.

Response from developer

Berechtigte Kritik. Die Kacheln wurden über einen einzigen Server geladen — war der langsam, sah man nur die Basiskarte. Inzwischen verteilt die App die Anfragen auf mehrere Server und hält einen Cache auf dem Gerät, und ganze Regionen lassen sich für offline vorab herunterladen. Zum Abo: Es ist optional und entfernt nur die Werbung. Alle Karten, Routen und Werkzeuge sind auch ohne Abo vollständig nutzbar. — Andrea, OpenMaps

Just no

I worked with map software for years. Absolutely hate the app. Wants to track a lot more than map usage. Wants health metrics. What looks like a menu at the bottom is ads and more intrusive software. Touted to be a topical map app for outdoor enthusiasts and professionals. Wanted to send me to Microsoft ads on my iPhone every time I tried to use the app. If there is a way to import a map I did not find it. I found the app to be the most annoying app I have ever tried.

Response from developer

Thank you for the detail — it's more useful than a star rating, and several of your points were fair. On Health: it's used only on the Apple Watch to record a workout, it's entirely optional, and declining it changes nothing on the iPhone. The bottom row you took for a menu was indeed an ad; OpenMaps Pro removes every ad in the app, and the free version no longer shows anything on the first launches. On importing: the app now reads and writes GPX and Garmin FIT files, so you can bring your own routes in and send them back out. — Andrea, OpenMaps

Lädt mit 30 Sekunden Verspätung die Karten

Einige Karten sind überhaupt nicht abrufbar, man sieht nur grüne Flächen, die topographischen Karten laden dermaßen langsam, das liegt nicht an meinem Internet.

Response from developer

Das lag nicht an Ihrem Internet — Sie hatten recht. Die Kartenkacheln liefen über einen einzelnen Server, und wenn der überlastet war, blieben grüne Flächen stehen. Inzwischen verteilt die App die Anfragen auf mehrere Server, hält bereits geladene Bereiche im Cache und lässt ganze Regionen vorab für offline herunterladen. Dazu gibt es jetzt 6 topografische und nautische Kartenstile. — Andrea, OpenMaps

Ads are way too intrusive

Ads that randomly take up the full screen with full volume. Couldn’t even really check the app out because the ads were too many.

Response from developer

Fair criticism — full-screen ads firing at random with the sound up were far too aggressive, and that behaviour is gone. The free version now shows nothing at all on the first launches, and there are no video interruptions while you use the map. OpenMaps Pro (€1.99/month or €9.99/year) removes every ad across iPhone, Apple Watch and Mac. Worth a second look: the app itself has been rebuilt, with offline maps, route drawing and 6 topographic and nautical styles. — Andrea, OpenMaps
