### 1/5 — Maps never complete downloading

*2021-01-25*

Iphone se 2nd gen. App downloaded fast but the maps didn’t. Tried to to download one map. Left the app open and phone awake/unlocked for over 5 hours and the it never finished some parts went to 100% but others never past 53% or 25%.

### 1/5 — Can’t remove this abomination quickly enough

*2020-02-21*

Great idea, truly awful implementation.

Doesn’t scroll vertically, and in spite of the app’s name, doesn’t seem to make use of the GPS.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2019-03-26*

I really wanted this to work because it would be great to have offline maps of OHV trails but it doesn’t. It starts to download but never finishes. I know it’s not my internet speed because I have pretty fast internet.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work -

*2018-11-16*

Never completes any downloads,even after deleting and re-loading the program. 

Glad it’s free, ‘cause it’s worthless!

Deleting again…

Giving it one star, since you can’t give zeros.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2018-09-17*

I would love to use this app but it doesn't download the maps offline. All it does is hang no matter how long i leave it on.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2018-06-24*

Have tried for months to get this to work .. I can not get it to download and off line maps ... it will start to download and then never finishes 

Would really love to love this app since the idea is great

### 4/5 — Great database

*2019-06-29*

It took me a while to download the offline maps. During that time I did not experience any kind of delays or hangups. As the app states at the beginning of the map download, the initial time is lengthy due to it downloading 80% of the data. After that it is much quicker. For me, the first time took about an hour, but I used most of my data allotment from HughesNet which is a satellite isp.  My second down load took 15 min. 

I hope that the program update will receive satellite imaging.

### 5/5 — Comprehensive focal point

*2025-12-21*

Easiest app to visualize recreational sites like Big Bear and Ocotillo Wells

### 5/5 — How to download

*2019-05-27*

Had the download stop like others have said. Cancelled it, turned off cellular data and restarted download and it worked fine. As they say, it takes at least 30 minutes for the first download, then the rest are faster. Very cool app and even better that it's free. Thank you to the dev.
