My experience
Simple to use, with all of the information I need, provided fully and clearly. (And inexpensively.) What a lucky discovery!
Can’t import
Can’t import waypoints in any format supported by other apps.

Just learning the app. So far so good, easy learning. I’ve got a week in the forest and looking forward to trying out in the wild.
Love it
Ok, developers take note. This is how you make apps. No subscription. No monthly/yearly fees. When I pay for an app, I expect to own it, not be renting it. Rant over.
The app performs beautifully. The battery saving feature alone is well worth it. Seems very accurate and oh so easy to use. Start a track, put your phone in you sack, and forget about it. After a 12 mile walk placing trail cams for nature videos, I had only used 12% battery. Pretty dang good.
Ps. I do not normally write reviews, but this app deserves notice.

We use this all the time for hiking!
Best app ever! Thank you for making it so affordable. We use it to hike all over Upstate NY. Very user friendly!
It doesn’t track your total Vert
Everything is great about this App except that it doesn’t track your total amount of vertical gain. So if you walk up a mountain and down a valley and then back up a mountain again the App doesn’t count the second hill. It’s soul crushing that the App fails to track all your hard work. All the rest doesn’t matter.

THANK YOU!! Best Value for My Needs
Ah the good old times of NO SUBSCRIPTIONS & NO ADS. Very clever design features: battery charge preservation during the trip by using phone’s Airplane mode and preloaded local map. Thank you for the user friendly phone-sized controls. This app does everything I wanted for casual hiking and biking, for a BUCK, without a 50-page PDF tutorial. I hope the developer sells hundreds of millions; it will be a well deserved fortune, and a positive step in the right direction away from ripoff auto-renew subscription apps.

Great hiking app
I love your hiking app. Straightforward, easy to use. Is it possible to have kms instead of miles?
THE BEST
Best App EVER!!!!!!
Hiking Tracker App
Love being able to use the app in the background. Tracking is decently accurate, but probably my phones natural locating is the problem rather than the apps.
Also love the utilization of multiple topographical maps because different topo maps have different features -some are better showing roads and trails while others are better with natural geographical features.
Oh and let’s not forget... no advertisements to be bothered with!!!

Variety of Maps
So far this application works very well.
Does the job
So many gps aps add all sorts of unnecessary stuff. I don’t want anything more than a trail of breadcrumbs I can use to figure out where I started, where I am, and help me get a good guess about the way home.
All those extra features/layers/buttons most GPS aps add are just an annoyance. This, while not at all bare bones, does everything I need but keeps it simple.

TIP TOP!
This is an outstanding app for hiking, bicycling or motorcycle riding. I have found so many trails I would’ve never found.
Beginner hiker
This app is great, showed me everything I am interested in knowing about my hike. Great for beginners
Two important missing features
This is a pretty good app but it has two features that I think ought to be included: 1) I cannot force the app to save maps when I am home or in a lodge using Wi-Fi. It only appears to save the maps as the developer intended when I am somewhere using cell phone data service, which is not only more expensive but problematic if I’m in a place where there isn’t any cell service. It’s also very unclear how long maps are stored when I do successfully save them. This makes it impossible and potentially dangerous to rely on this app in many situations. 2) I can’t find any way to export the sessions into a .KML or .GPX format so that I can pull it into another mapping program where I plan my routes and save records of old trips. I understand that this app is really intended as an exercise tool, but I have used it in remote situations to ensure that when I am off trail I am actually where I think I’m supposed to be in wilderness exploring using a paper topo map. It’s great to be able to use just my cell phone and not carry another heavy electronic device and batteries on a backpack to validate my map reading skills!

Great app so far
Very simple and easy to navigate. I’ll be hiking with it this week and will update my review when I’ve seen it in action.
Don’t leave home with out it.
The simplest tracking app and most accurate with lots of features that I’ve ever come across. Not cumbersome not complicated even a monkey could do it.

Doesn’t work
Took this app for a try on my 30 mile hike just outside a Major city in Silicon Valley. The map feature worked for about 10 minutes before it went black. There isn’t an ability to zoom out from your route to see how far you’ve been. The whole screen just starts to flash if you do that. To put a cherry on top the app “encountered an error” and erased the entire 30 miles of data from the last 8.5 hours.
No apps were running in the background. Nothing else was open.
All this app did was drain my battery life

Exactly What I Was Looking For
Great App. Tracks hikes accurately with absolute minimal battery usage. Shows progress with satellite terrain view including colors for ascent and descent.
Lots of data
Great app for walking-hiking. Provides a lot of useful data and allows use of phone and other apps while tracking. Worked smoothly. Add Health app connection and its tops.
