iPhone Duo Support

Great App and use it all the time. I would love Duo support as the app does not look good at the moment. Any plans?

Does not recognise Lake District, UK. Login on website not accepted on mobile. No monthly plans

Forced to pay annually. No weekly or monthly plans available. Pointless app if you live in the UK. Does not recognise place names in one the most famous hiking destinations in the world (Lake District National Park). If you create an account on the website it will not allow you to login to the app. A password reset takes over an hour. Sign in with Passkey does not work. If you want to find routes near you, there is no geolocation - it does not know where you are. You need to enter a postcode. After you have finished a walk, stop the route, and close the app, it continues to tell you have gone off course. After I switch off my phone and restart my phone, the app continues to tell me I have gone off route. I had to delete the app to make it stop. Terrible app. Not user friendly at all!

Angry VR User

This is a follow up to an earlier 1* review. Been out again this weekend with my walking group, 2 of us using this useless App and we got lost. ViewRanger was a million times better than this hopeless hopeless hopeless piece of rubbish. Whatever alternatives exist to Outdooractive; take them.

Super séjour au Parc National de la Mauricie

Great app for the outdoors

Been fab so far, very useful for planning walks whilst on holiday in the lakes. Keen to use it at home in Scotland.
