### 5/5 — Super

*2020-05-07*

Die App ist richtig gut. Funktioniert wie sie soll. Daumen hoch. 👍

### 5/5 — Spitze

*2020-03-22*

Klasse und ausgeklügelte App. Man kann Wanderrouten selbstständig laden. Perfekte Lokalisierung und Navigation (in drei Dimensionen). Umschaltbar zwischen dem hochauflösenden Geländemodell und Google Maps. Unbedingte Empfehlung und daher 5 Sterne.

### 1/5 — Useless.

*2020-02-14*

App requires specialized maps (the recruitment info doesn’t say this) and doesn’t tell you howto obtain such maps. I found it to be absolute useless.

**Developer response:** Dear Zafarrano Wolffe, the info text states quite clearly that you can use the app to display 2D LiDAR maps created with the desktop version of planlauf/TERRAIN. You can get more info about the software here: https://planlaufterrain.com/

### 5/5 — Great to have planlauf/TERRAIN on the phone!

*2020-01-25*

I’ve been using the Windows version of planlauf/TERRAIN for 3 years and it’s really great to be able to hike with this app now! Much easier than with the Windows tablet I used before.
