Bug fixes and maintenance

OnX bought and ruined this app

OnX bought this app- along with the other “protect” apps- some time ago, squeezed all of the trail data they could out of it, and input that data into their subscription-based mapping software and essentially kicked this app to the curb. It crashes ~90% of the time I use it. I’d expect a higher standard from a company based in Colorado.

An engineer’s running app

It is simple and to the point. This app is a tool, and it works really well. It has the two features I need it to have: an efficient, responsive UI, and a rich database of routes. The only feature I would suggest is the ability to export routes as GPX files to use on my watch. But, when I need it I recreate the route in GAIA, so it’s not a big deal. Go Running Project!

Great data, poor UI

I love the idea of this app and use it a lot on both the web and mobile. But over the years the UI and ability to load the data has grown worse and worse. At this point the app on my device crashes about 50% of the time.

Inaccurate info for the Blue Mountains (Australia)

This rating is for the trails in the Blue Mountain area of Australia.
Some of the trails are closed (including the National Pass route which has been closed for several years due to a fatal rockfall). Many others have start points which require an hour or more hiking to get to the start point (eg the Mount Solitary one and the ones around the Coxs River).

There appears to be only one trail (the Prince Henry clifftop track) that is actually open and accessible.

Almost perfect….

Love the app!! Fantastic resource with very good detailed maps and routes. The only thing I wish that I could do with app would be to have the ability to download routes to my Garmin Fenix7 watch so I can follow some of the trickier routes without being my phone.
