### 5/5 — Massively useful!

*2026-08-10, version 3.23.12*

I downloaded this app before my first camping trip with a mate. I was dubious about how well it would work in a remote location at first, but when we got a bit lost, this app absolutely saved us and absolutely worked! Would definitely recommend downloading the app for wilderness adventures!

### 2/5 — Hält nicht, was es verspricht

*2026-08-03*

Nachdem ich mit der kostenlosen Version keine Wanderungen gefunden habe, habe ich nacheinander zwei kostenpflichtige Pakete probiert, von denen das teurere verspricht, dass man auf Wanderkarten von externen Anbietern zugreifen kann. Ich sehe es als eine Grundfunktion einer Wanderapp an, dass man einen Ort angibt und dann Wanderungen an dem Ort vorgeschlagen bekommt. Bei Outdooractive scheint das nicht möglich zu sein: Weder um meinen Heimatort noch bei Versuchen mit anderen Orten gelang es mir, Wanderungen zu finden. Vielleicht lag es ja daran, dass ich den Filter auf maximal 2,5 Stunden eingestellt hatte aber wenn eine App damit wirbt, Wanderungen von externen Anbietern im Paket zu haben und ich keine an dem Ort finde, wo ich wandern will (in dem Fall Lohr am Main), ich aber mit einem Konkurrenzprodukt mehrere Wanderungen angezeigt bekomme und dann vor Ort sogar mehrere ausgeschilderte Wanderwege finde, dann gebe ich dafür kein Geld aus. Glücklicherweise war ich noch in der Widerrufsfrist, einen Teil mußte ich trotzdem zahlen - für nichts. Eigentlich wollte ich weg von Komoot, es scheint aber sonst keine App zu geben, bei der man überlegen kann, wo man hinwill, Wanderungen sucht und vorgeschlagen bekommt und dann eine davon aussuchen kann. Vielleicht ist das Problem ja auf meiner Seite aber das ist das, was ich von einer Wander-App erwarte, sonst kann ich gleich auf Verdacht vor Ort nach Wanderwegen schauen.

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank, dass du uns über dein Problem informierst. Schreibe doch bitte eine Nachricht an die Kollegen im Support Team. Die Mail Adresse hierfür lautet support@outdooractive.com. Dort kann dir bestimmt geholfen werden. Dein Outdooractive Team

### 5/5 — Brilliant walking App!

*2026-07-25, version 3.23.10*

Everything you need to walk in the countryside.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-07-18, version 3.23.9*

Helps a lot during hiking

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-07-16, version 3.23.9*

I use it all the time for walks and bike rides, home & abroad. I wouldn’t want to be without it.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-07-09, version 3.23.9*

I use this for all my cycling trips. It’s so good. I can set the route down to the last detail esp with Ordnance Survey subscription

### 5/5 — Mr Julien ryan

*2026-07-06, version 3.23.8*

A******

### 1/5 — Awful app

*2026-07-05, version 3.23.8*

I hate this app with a deep seated passion. All I want to find routes, select one, then follow it whilst tracking myself. Each stage of this simple process is confusing, badly designed and hard to use. It is clearly deliberate, driven by the app’s developers hatred of Outdoor Active’s sufferers.

### 5/5 — Fantastic!

*2026-06-28, version 3.23.8*

I love this app, I find it really useful for planning out my routes

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2026-06-28, version 3.23.8*

I often just wonder around strange places seeing whatever there is to see.  This a a great way of knowing where you went, where you are and a great way to get back to where you want to be.
