## What is Topo Guru?

Do you remember the familiar feeling when you have been trying in vain to find a block or a multi-pitch start for 20 minutes? This is the thing of the past!
Carrying heavy guide books is the thing of past, now you have all of those in your pocket. Navigation is no longer a challenge, Topo Guru helps you to find your destination with its integrated compass and distance functions.

Topos

At Topo Guru we make sure to have the best quality full coverage crags in our database from our local partners. Our database contains excellent quality photos of boulders and walls, all photos have their own GPS coordinates. Approaching climbing places has never been as trouble-free before!
You can browse through available crags either from by map view or from a comprehensive country list.

Navigation

Finding your climbing rocks from your wish list is also easy with Topo Guru. Our partners and crag-masters save the GPS coordinates for each photo and we can show you detailed information. Use our in-app compass to find your way through blocks and to see the distance from your destination.
Topo Guru provides “How to get there” information and helps you find the best parking spots by GPS.

### 3/5 — Features needed to make me resubscribe

*2026-08-03*

Features needed to make it way better: 
- button to download all photos/topos for a region.
- way to sort “all climbs” list by alphabetical, or by grade, or by something else.
- map for just the climbs that are saved in a list.
- offline viewing of “wishlist” list, as I use this to mark my climbs.

Please add these features or ask Claude code to add these features, and I may restart my subscription, I feel like there is a lot of potential here.

### 1/5 — Very buggy

*2026-01-05*

Crashes every time I try to use the app within a few minutes tried uninstalling, reinstalling and resetting phone

### 1/5 — I was waiting for a long time…

*2025-03-30*

Abgleich mit „the crag“ funktioniert nicht. Ewiges nachladen.

### 1/5 — App crashes

*2024-04-05*

The app crashes every single Time I open it on iPhone SE

### 1/5 — Can not use

*2023-07-22*

Have deleted and re-download multiple times. As soon as I log in it just tells me it’s synchronising and won’t do anything else. Extremely disappointing for something the crag is involved with

### 4/5 — Indispensabile

*2023-05-26, version 4.0.11*

Dalla Sicilia posso dire che è una guida base che consulto affiancata a libri sulle vie in Sicilia. Mi ha molto sorpreso, spero possa andare avanti creando sempre più comunità.

### 3/5 — Good idea but still needs improvements

*2021-09-20, version 4.0.5*

Clear and simple interface but with plenty of bugs and limitations, just a few
- if location access is enabled the app continuously trying to refocus to my actual location till i’m trying to search, zoom, locate something on the map, had turn off location access to eliminate this
- whilest seatching, zooming in the map the available spots randomly jumping, changing location that is extremly irritating
- The crag integration is very limited yet

### 1/5 — zu ungenau und zu wenig Infos

*2021-09-19*

war damit in Bleau und Prilep. Haben kaum etwas gefunden. Gibt besseres!
