Still the worst, you can’t get a bearing anymore.

All the negative reviews seem to have been deleted. This app was once the goto app for hikers. You could tap the map and it would gove you a bearing to that point. All the features map users needed have been removed. I have spent a lot of money buying the maps which are now useless for amything other than visual and I can get that for free elsewhere. Shame on this app developer. You didn’t and won’t listen to the people that bought your product.

Doesn’t work

Used it 2 years ago, fine. Now i resubscribed and I can’t get it to recognise the exact location - nor trace the route I’m using. Written to the help line and no response so far

Great app, but downloaded maps are now very out of date

I have used this app for over 10 years and have had few problems with it. It has worked fine on all of my devices over the years, from an iPod 3, iPhone 6S, iPhone 7Plus, iPhone 16 Pro Max, iPad Air 1 and iPad Air 5, both online and offline (they load very fast on my iPhone 16 and iPad Air 5, both online and offline)- no problems whatsoever. Yes, some of the downloaded maps are now very old, and the app hasn’t been updated in over 2 years (which is a bit worrying) but still works fine with iOS & iPadOS 26.5.2. I don’t know why so many people seem to have lots of problems - what are they doing wrong?

OS maps restored

After a few weeks delay the support team restored my OS maps subscription. So I take it all back. It’s a very useful app for outdoor use and I record my walks, cycle rides and fishing marks using it. Indispensable if you roam the outdoors in UK and easier than using a paper map.

Updates

My husband and I both have this app. Mine shows a new road which opened 8 years ago but his does not - why??

Steer Clear 👎

Many moons ago this was the best hiking app on IOS !

Now it’s just outdated bug filled rubbish, not much else to say.

AVOID! 🫩👎

Doesn’t work

This app was great in the past but over the last couple of years, downloaded maps aren’t accessible if you don’t have mobile reception. Uninstalling and reinstalling makes no difference! Very frustrating

A little buggy and downloaded maps are at least 20yrs out of date

I have been using this app for about 12 yrs, basic navigation is great, but it’s buggy, cannot always delete routes, difficult to share routes, you have to go through there website to shar, and then it takes an age for the routes to download to your device
Off line maps are very old could be over. 20yrs old.
Map key goes blank if you zoom in on iOS.
I am trying OS map app now £17.50

Downloaded, tried to sign up: entered username, email, password. Wheel spins for 2 mins followed by “unknown error”.

Absolute rubbish. Thank floops for memory map!!!

Accidentally bought

I accidentally bought this app for 12 months I asked for a refund straight away and was refused! So be careful the app company seem very unhelpful and not at all understanding.

Buggy

When I use on my Mac and click the search button to type in a location or address, the app just closes instantly. I’ve emailed customer services months ago but received no response. Until a new version is out that fixes this it’s not worth buying

Purchases stopped working!

This was quite good when it worked, would show where you were on an OS map and the subscription for those maps was cheap. Route planning was a bit vague at best but gave the idea. But the OS maps suddenly stopped working 3 months into the one year subscription. Without OS maps it’s pretty pointless. I have had no response to my messages asking for this to be fixed!

Ok for basic use only

Been using this app for several years, but recently started to use more of its route functions. However I have to say it’s very poor. It doesn’t snap to paths, and if you want to modify the route it seems impossible other than starting again. Plus you can’t spin the map around using 2 fingers as you can with others.

Great email support

I had an issue to do with the subscription. I contacted support by email wondering whether I’d ever get a reply. They responded quickly and resolved the matter. So no complaints at the moment.

Not quite what it could be

Used to be able to switch to cycle map which was a bit clunky to use but still useful to find safer routes. Now the deal has changed and it is no longer possible to buy maps for life. I had bought several but now one has to pay an annual subscription to cover the entire nation which I do not want which does not honour the original deal. Very disappointing. I will be buying similar app elsewhere.

wasted my money

Too many issues to list. Headlines are 1) unintuitive and buggy for finding routes, 2) can’t work out how to delete places, 3) bug on zooming on map key and can’t read as too small. 4) downloaded AA routes and no idea how to access them by. What a disappointment. I am requesting a refund.

Easy to use

I’ve used this for many years

I’d be lost without it!

I love this app for planning my routes and then following them on my runs.
