## What is Overland Track?

This app is here to help you plan, prepare and navigate the Overland Track in Tasmania, Australia. 


You will find detailed packing lists, information on each day of walking, itineraries, yummy recipes, a guide to flora, fauna, geology, travel planning, first aid and much much more. There is also a navigation section with topographic maps that will work offline, photos, terrain profiles, track notes and weather forecasts.

Think of this as the ultimate guide book for the Overland Track, a happy marriage between a GPS and a bushwalking guidebook. 
Each section of the walk has an overview and a moving map (download the map tiles for offline use before hitting the track).


Information on equipment and bushwalking skills are also generalised for other parts of Australia to help you build your bushwalking skills before getting on track.

Whether you're new to bushwalking, hiking or tramping or a seasoned walker - I have made this app to help you get the most out of your time on track.

## Key features

- Detailed packing lists
- Daily walking information and itineraries

### 1/5 — Won’t even load

*2026-02-04*

I can’t believe this still hasn’t been fixed. This app should’ve removed from the store. How do I get my money back?

### 1/5 — Fails from the start

*2026-02-02*

Can’t even open the app. Get to the additional download loading page and just consistently fails. Done multiple redownloads,  it is just plain broken.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work

*2026-01-26*

What a shame the developer appears to have abandoned what was previously a great app. No way to communicate with the developer (just a link to a website with no contact details). Disappointing.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-01-16*

I should have read the reviews first. App doesn’t work. Once downloaded, an error message appears that I don’t have internet connection. Waste of money and disappointing

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2025-12-24*

Waste of money

### 1/5 — Won’t even load

*2025-10-20, version 1.1.0*

I can’t seem to download the app. It keeps telling me I’m not connected to the Internet when I am. After multiple attempts of deleting the app and re downloading it is now stuck on a single picture with a frozen download wheel. I’m disappointed.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work waste of money

*2025-10-09*

Downloaded app purchased in good faith but simply doesn’t work Waste of money do not get this app

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2023-02-17*

This app doesn’t work. When it tells you to start download it comes up with the words
 “initialisation failed” I’ve deleted the App several times and tried to download it again and again but it still doesn’t work. 
Very disappointed with it and such a waste of money. If I could give it zero stars I would.

### 1/5 — Very slow initial download

*2022-07-02*

I haven’t been able to use the app, as the initial large slow download has not completed

**Developer response:** Sorry for the issue.  We are working on a fix to reduce the amount that needs to be downloaded first go, but this data allows you to access lots of stuff offline.
So fix your app now, either clear the app cache, or delete the app and re-download it when you have a good internet connection. Once that initial download it done, it should be happy.

### 5/5 — An Amazing Resource

*2022-06-30*

So much information. Great overview, preparation and planning help, track notes. Thanks for putting this together.

**Developer response:** Thanks -- glad you like the App, glad it helps :)
