Offline log out
Good app when you are online. Useless app when you are offline!! The app log me out when im out off signal and you can’t log in back.Please fix it!!
Very poor replacement for a guide book
This app has extremely limited information compared to a guide book. I would not recommend paying for the subscription.
Handy but Unforgiving
I'm happy the sloper app allows you to download the guidebooks or specific areas you're going to. However, I made a mistake when recording a send retroactively and found out you can't delete it. Became super frustrated trying to figure out how to remove it only to find out you can't. Not going to record sends on Sloper until that gets changed.

Missing Parking/Approach, Search Features and logs out.
Edit: I lowered the rating from 2 to 1. Three times I have used the downloaded maps in areas without signal, and every time it has logged me out after a few minutes. You cannot log back in without signal. So if you lose signal you lose the app. Why offer downloaded maps if I have to be connected to use them?!

This app does not seem to give the first piece of information needed… where is the crag? If I’m driving around Bow Valley wanting to climb say Grotto Canyon, it gives no information as to where that crag is, where to park, or what the approach to the crag is. Not a great start. Then if I’m trying to find a climb the only option is to go through every menu of every crag in every book… the app has amazing details for every climb recorded (grade, rating, type of holds, slab vs overhang, pumpy vs technical, etc) but no way to find a climb using that. At a bare minimum I’d like a filter to just view crags that have climbs in a grade range and star rating. But seeing as all this extra information is stored, I should be able to use it to filter “4 star+, 5.10-5.11, vert…”. I’d say this app is only useful if you already know what crag you want to go to and how to get there… It has also twice given me errors because I had no signal, and wouldn’t even let me view the guidebooks that I had downloaded. Once it just logged me out and wouldn’t let me back in. I had to reinstall and redownload all the guides. The guidebooks are good though, just needs features added and bugs fixed.

Not a replacement for a paperback guidebook
App is not great. Downloading a guide book will fail if you don’t keep the app open or your screen turns off. Back button doesn’t work sometimes. Not super easy to navigate. App also hasn’t be updated to work with the latest iPhone models. In fact, the app hasn’t been updated in over a year…
Downloaded this app because the Needles of Rushmore guidebook is out of print. I’ve climbed there before and the guidebook is the best for the area, but you can’t find a paper copy anywhere. Instead, the book’s store page links to this app. Worst part is this app charges you $5 a month to get access to the guide books. Wouldn’t be such an insult if they kept the app up to date or updated the information. I’d much rather just buy the book if I could and never use this app again.
If you aren’t specifically looking for a guide book, I’d recommend using another app.
