Doesn’t work well on iPad

Downloaded an Explorer paper map on my iPhone, and then onto my iPad. When you enlarge the map on the iPad to the point where it switches from Landranger to Explorer detail, the screen goes blank, apart from faint areas where there is water.

Well done OS

It works so well. Lovely to track my countryside rambles, and know where I am!

Keeps PAUSING itself!!!

A potentially excellent app ruined because the PAUSE button doesn’t have a long press feature and consequently gets accidentally dabbed. OS have know about this for ages. Are they doing anything about it? Absolutely not.

Fails to record EVERY time

Every time I tell it to save my activity it doesn’t. Pretty terrible UI, and the watch app just randomly pauses. Absolute waste of money.

Mostly good but one massive bug

It’s a really useful app when out walking in the hills and as others have said when the paths aren’t clear. The main bug for me is the position of the “pause” button. On an iPhone when you swipe up to hide the app it’s so easy to inadvertently hit pause and not realise until the next time you do a route check.
If I’m recording my own route then it’s not such a problem I just don’t log all the bits where it’s paused but when you’re following someone else’s route and it pauses and then loses the route-that is a real pain. Especially annoying if you have no phone signal to reload the route.
