Older Version of the App was better

Currently i can only see Areas or Topos on the Map which match my last keyword in the search. However with an empty search bar i thought i would be able to see all the topos/ spots on the map that there are. So browsing for new places is now impossible. However this works online on Safari on my Mac. Seems to be a App problem with the Map. Was very happy with the App and already paid the premium a lot of times but this now is frustrating.

Response from developer

Hi! This sounds like you might have some filters active on the map, which then hides part of the topos. Could you please check that you don't have any filters activated (e.g. hide community topos)? Please let us know if this helped, so we can investigate if not!

Missing a lot of climbs

Missing a lot of climbs so better to use a guidebook or other apps from the guide book companies.

Response from developer

Hi! Coverage does vary by area since topos are created by local climbers, but you can check exactly what's included in Premium from the map view before subscribing. And new topos are added every day, so worth checking back later! 🙌

Can’t register

Not well programmed, I can’t register - the version before, 27 crags, worked way smoother

Response from developer

Hi and so sorry about this! Could you please delete the app completely and then reinstall? It should fix the issue, please let me know if it did!

aplicativo Horrível

Response from developer

Oi! Entendemos a frustração — ainda não temos cobertura no Brasil, mas novos topos são adicionados diariamente por autores locais, então vale a pena conferir mais tarde. Se conhece algum desenvolvedor de áreas local, adoraríamos entrar em contato! Você também pode ver quais topos estão incluídos antes de assinar o Premium!

Aplikacja oszukuje

Aplikacja twierdzi że nie mam wykupionego dostępu premium, pomimo że ma go zapłacone. Nigdy więcej jej nie ściągnę.
