The only issue I have with it is that you cannot edit the route. If it doesn’t catch the right point of if you forget to stop it. I go kayak 14 miles and forget to stop it and end up with a 74 mile route. ### 4/5 — いいappですよ *2020-10-05* 私は2014年から カヤックキング、ウォーキング、ハイキング、マウンテンバイキング、パラグライディング、車、バイク、の時に使用してます。 沢山の趣味がある人におすすめ。 動作も安定してます。 ### 4/5 — GPS is great Apple Watch Heart rate Pairing is not *2020-07-02* I use the app for kayaking and it’s great getting the statistics and route information, but when I try to pair the health settings with my gen 5 Apple Watch the app crashes. ### 5/5 — Luv it ... but.. *2019-04-09, version 2.13* I truely luv this app. I have used it for cycling, walking and kayaking and it does everything you want.. BUT - when I did a walk this morning the stats on the app showed “Max Speed 37.8kph” - sorry, not possible.. I am not an Olympic athlete doing the 100m sprint.. Maybe this stat is the all-time highest speed (eg previous bike ride sometime??)

Die Entscheidung fiel damals wegen den Exportmöglichkeiten in mehreren Formaten und dem sparsamen Stromverbrauch. Außerdem top wegen fehlender Werbung und ohne Abozwang. Die eigentlichen Kernkompetenz als Running App nutze erst seit kurzem. Health Integration und Watch App funktionieren super. ### 5/5 — Нет возможности поделиться треком *2018-11-08* .... ### 5/5 — I agree with first class app comment *2018-08-09* I use this app as a coach for dragon boat. Darin ### 5/5 — Excellente appli *2018-07-31* Nous nous en servons depuis 3 ans pour le vélo et les randonnées, y compris dans les villes étrangères pour repérer notre hôtel de départ. Il ne reste plus qu’à le coupler avec l’iPad pour mieux étudier nos traces ### 5/5 — Bester Tracker im AppStore! *2018-02-19* Diese App ist grandios. Der Entwickler hat an so viele nützliche Details gedacht, dass es mir die Sprache verschlagen hat. Ich nutze ein iPhone seit 2008 und habe über 1.000 Apps geladen. Keine hat mich so begeistert wie diese! Update nach jahrelanger Nutzung: Für mich ist Routie nach wie vor der beste Tracker im App Store. Ich habe paralle viele Aktivitätentracker getestet und keiner erfüllt meine Ansprüche so gut wie diese App. Ich kann ganz einfach meine Wanderungen (oder auch jede andere Aktivität) aufnehmen, bekomme nach der Speicherung der Tour einige Informationen darüber, meine auf der Tour aufgenommen Fotos werden direkt integriert und wenn ich will, kann ich meinen Track auch mit Freunden via Social Media teilen. Mir fehlt nur noch die Möglichkeit, die Tracks zu editieren, aber der Entwickler arbeitet bereits an einer Lösung. Der Support ist wirklich herausragend und die App jeden Cent wert. ### 5/5 — Outstanding *2018-01-12, version 2.12.1* Accurate and easy. I’ve looked, and purchased several tracking apps and this one has worked and is the best so far. ### 5/5 — Clean, Simple, Effective *2017-09-15* A great app! It does what it supposed to and in a way that is simple and intuitive to use. The things you need are always within reach or view and the things that you don't need, aren't. It is very clear that the developer cared deeply and gave much thought to how these features should work and be presented properly. ### 5/5 — Yaktrack *2017-08-07, version 2.11.1* Awesome app , exactly what I was looking for !! Hunting ,fishing , kayaking. ### 4/5 — You must have you phone with you for it to work. *2017-06-21* While I like the features of this app, it's Apple Watch integration requires your phone to be present to function. While this isn't necessarily a "complaint", (many other apps require phone presence--some, like RunKeeper, don't) it would have been nice to know in advance of purchase. Hence my review--to let others know. ### 5/5 — Top! *2017-06-16* Super App! Aber bitte Pebble 2 Support hinzufügen! Danke Meine App erkennt die 2er nicht! Leider! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Broken app *2021-08-13* After latest update app doesnt launches at all on iphone 5. Support doesnt answer by email. Yes, it's old device, but it worked for me, and this app should work with it, that says in the description. But it is not work. Dev say on his site that it not have much time for this app. Not recommend for buying... ### 1/5 — Not for kayaking *2016-03-19, version 2.11.1* Waste of money for kayakers. ### 1/5 — Rychle odinstalovano... *2015-06-19, version 2.8* Proc pouziva moji polohu, i kdyz nemam aplikaci zapnutou?! Mam rad sve soukromi, necht se vyvojar nad sebou zamysli... ### 1/5 — La dernière mise à jour ne s'installe pas ... *2014-09-17* La dernière mise à jour ne s'installe pas ... ### 1/5 — 最悪 *2014-03-31* ダウンロードしましたが、開くのボタンを何回押しても開きません。 ### 2/5 — Poměr cena/výkon mizerný *2018-08-27, version 2.13* Při aktuálním iOS a watchOS ne moc použitelné. Trackovaná trasa na iPhonu se mi po opětovném zapnutí appky smazala. Celková rychlost appky a odezvy jsou nicmoc. Samostatná kapitola je appka v AW3. Bez spojení s iPhonem nefunguje a to jakože vůbec, po zapnutí appky nelze zapnout trackování. Snad se autor nad mými poznatky zamyslí, v případě updatu rád své hodnocení změním. ### 2/5 — Apple Watch use requires iPhone!!!! *2018-07-26, version 2.13* Disappointed to find out after purchase that Apple Watch support requires iPhone nearby....oh well! This was mentioned in another user’s review, but I missed seeing it before purchase...wanted to put this review out there to make it very clear that this is the case! Will be requesting refund..... ### 2/5 — Soweit gut aber der Akku leidet *2017-05-26* Habe mir heute die App runtergeladen und direkt getestet. Karte gut dargestellt, Gps teilweise etwas ungenau aber nachvollziehbar dank Karte. Nach 4,5 Stunden Wanderung war der Akku von 99% auf 20% runter. Leider nicht wirklich vorteilhaft da wir meist länger unterwegs sind. Mein iPhone ist noch relativ neu und sonst hält der Akku auch sehr viel länger. Schade ### 2/5 — Needs fixing *2017-03-11, version 2.11.1* For the third time in two weeks I have recorded a paddle with the app and save it only to go back and look at the saved records and everything is gone. It's getting old and the app has an obvious issue. Please take a look and make a fix. Once there's a fix in place and the app works as advertised I will gladly review it again. Until then it's not what I paid for. ### 3/5 — So easy to turn on, finish, and forget about. *2017-10-11* Then an hour later, it tells you your distance so far. This could be solved if Easily by allowing me to trim the route. Or at the very least sending a notification after a short amount of time inactivity. I would also like for it to give average speed with the option to exclude my top speeds. Including the extremes screws up the data. Also, every run or walk, the speed through out is very jagged even though I’m pretty sure I was going the same speed at least for some portions. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Super application *2025-06-07* Fonctionne à merveille, facile d’utilisation : merci ### 5/5 — Nejlepší GPS aplikace *2025-02-13, version 2.16* Velmi dobrá GPS aplikace. Nejlepší na App storu. ### 5/5 — Great app, simple UI with no distractions *2025-01-05, version 2.16* Im happy with the app, does what is says it does without lots of pop ups or ads Things I would change: Add a default sport (so I don’t have to scroll everytime) Use a cubic spline interpolation for the max speed (speed data points jump too high at times for some reason) ### 5/5 — Nearly perfect tracking app *2022-09-12, version 2.15.1* No subscriptions or account rubbish. Does what you need it to. It does it’s job perfectly but there’s just 2 features I’d like: dimming music (or pausing it) when the voice coach is talking and then a km/min or miles/min unit of measure would be good too. Otherwise great app. ### 5/5 — Love Routi *2022-09-02* I enjoy making designs with the tracking while I track my workouts ### 5/5 — Great Route Support *2022-04-26* I use it every opportunity and gives some much details to my presentations and now with photos makes even better thanks. ### 5/5 — Nombreux sports *2021-06-04* Pour une fois l’aviron n’est pas oublié ou confondu avec le kayak! A vrai dire cela ne change rien puisque les infos sont toujours les mêmes, trajet, vitesse, altitude, pauses, avec possibilité de voir ou masquer ces infos. C’est très simple, complet, pratique. Je suis fan. ### 5/5 — Unglaublich gut! *2021-02-19* Ich nutze die App schon über 1 Jahr für das Aufzeichnen und Nachverfolgen von meinen Laufstrecken. Es gibt nichts negatives! Alles was ich mir vorgestellt habe ist hier enthalten. ### 5/5 — Does exactly what it needs to *2020-11-10, version 2.14.1* My go to app for recording bike rides Simple clear information If there is one thing more I would like is icloud/files support for the routes created so I can sync to my other phone easily ### 5/5 — A truely excellent app *2020-04-04, version 2.14* This is a truely excellent app / excellent for keeping a track of my daily walks. Can’t fault it - the most used app on my phone - thanks! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
