Mystifying, impenetrable, useless
How does it work? Anyone’s guess. No instructions in the app, except for a few fairly useless FAQ’s which don’t give anything helpful. Scroll in when using the cycle maps and all place names, river names etc just disappear, they melt away before your eyes, like a mirage.
I’ve paid £20 for this junk.

Ok but…
I find this app ok but a bit clunky. In particular to import a gps I think you have to go to sister website to import and then the app picks it up? But please tell me otherwise!
Don’t like this app
I asked for a refund and got one.
You zoom in to see map details and it’s a blur.
The IGN 1:25000 maps used are not the latest available and have paths missing.
I’m now trying IGNrando’ app which has great zoom and the latest maps and is cheaper.
I haven’t tested any other functionality of either app yet.
If you haven’t already, check out the French geoportail map website. It’s great for looking at maps on a computer.

IGN needs to take a look at OS
I don’t understand why people are raving about the quality of the maps. IGN could do much better in terms of clarity and detail, particularly compared to OS 25k. But actually, openstreetmap and even Gmaps are better than both of them.
Too dense, no help
Lots of incredibly detailed maps, but the resolution is so low that, when you zoom in, the maps are useless. No help finding hiking trails or circuits in my area, which is an ecotourism region with plenty of trails. The subscription has no trial period. For hiking information, look elsewhere.
