Basique

Peu d’outils mais fonctionne bien pour une navigation simple.

Random zooming

Overall a good app. However, it randomly zooms out. It would also be nice to be able to lock the nav modes, which change every time the screen is touched. Map uploading is easy, but have difficulty keeping them on top.

Topo Reader is my 5th iPhone Mapping App

Living in a remote rural area of the West, surrounded in every direction by public land, iPhone mapping and navigation apps are very useful. Topo Reader is the 5th such App that I have tried and used over a number of years. I find myself using it more than any other. Where others with more layers and features have inexplicably failed, it has functioned flawlessly. The beauty of this App is its simplicity. I signed up for lifetime use and that cost was a fraction of the $60-100 a year that some Apps are pushing now.

Premium isn’t permanent

I paid for premium, and now I can’t use it anymore!!!

Response from developer

Dear (7's): I agree! I paid for the Premium "Tune-in Radio" app and they took it away. HOWEVER, this is the "Topo Reader" app and it has never had a "premium" feature, version or in-app purchase. If you did pay for a subscription and it isn't working, email support. Thank you. Wrong app review.

Great
