### 5/5 — Sand River data has disappeared

*2018-09-21, version 2.3*

Hey guys...
Just updated app today and it seems that all the routes from Sand River have disappeared in the update since splitting into four. Tried to contact you via thesarvo but struggled to get a post into the forum for some reason. Thanks for all you do! Domhnall

### 4/5 — New App Sensational

*2016-02-13, version 2.0*

The new feature in this version is the automatic syncing. As updates appear on the thesarvo website, they're synced with the app.

### 5/5 — Great

*2013-01-06*

Really good nav and function. It could use more frequent updates to the websites most recent routes.

### 5/5 — One of the best

*2010-08-16, version 0*

This is what online/application climbing guides (or other guides) should be benchmarked against.
If you are coming to Tasmania to climb, then this is essential. Dont bother with the guide books, just use this app.
