THIS APP’S MAPS ARE INCORRECT
I’m new to dispersed camping and used US public lands to find national forest land to camp on. A few hours into camping, the owners of the land show up and tell me it is private property.
Later, I check the my camping location on 2 other apps (onX offroad and regrid). Those other apps show me the CORRECT BORDER and that I am in fact on private land.
This app is trash, DO NOT USE IT.

Clunky
You can’t copy the latitude-longitude of a spot you’re interested in to paste into Google maps. This is extremely inconvenient. It really only works for checking if you are, in fact, on public land already and is of little help finding where to go.
Yes, as advertised, but…
This app will present you with a map that outlines public lands, assuming that you can figure out which shade of color or very limited symbology a particular spot may correlate with. It does little or nothing to provide even the most basic information on what the public land shown on the map is (name, etc.), let alone whether there is any access to it. I have rarely found it useful as a result.

Hard to read and understand Eastern US
It’s difficult to use this app. I’m simply trying to identify land with dispersed camping, are Fish and Wildlife holdings displayed here because they have that? Also a lot of back and forth and guessing to use the color key that identifies the type of land that is overlaid. Quite regret this purchase.

Nearly Useful
Wanted an app like this. It's close. The color overlay is ok except green areas because the default map color is green. Must squint and guess. Should let you tap to get management info about a the location. Maybe change default map color or allow configuration of overlay/map colors.
Yes, you can choose "basic map" with white default color to help, but lose roads and whatnot. You can zoom in but some areas have fuzzy, gradient borders. Shouldn't the GIS data be very clear about boundaries?

Maps not vey accurate
I purchased this app to help me find legal shooting locations on national forest land. Unfortunately, the detail and accuracy of the maps are not good enough for me to rely upon. I live next to national forest land, but the app shows that my house and all the homes around me are on national forest land, which they are not. Hopefully over time the maps will get better. Nevertheless, the app is well done. I just think it needs a better database to draw upon. I would like to see the national forest system put out more detailed information for app developers to draw upon.

Not accurate
In using this app for the last year it has become very clear that the maps within the app do not accurately list or show privately owned lands within BLM and USFS boundaries.
Beware
This app is just a rehash of low resolution publicly available info but once you sign up for it the subscription doesn’t show up to be cancelled but you keep getting charged. This “feature” is obviously where they focused their efforts.
State Lands????
Great app! Comes in very useful. I wonder though if/when state owned lands will be added?
Useless if you need any detail
We live in a rural area that is a mix of private and public land. I bought this app hoping it would let me know where it’s safe to hike without trespassing, but it doesn’t even show the private property that I already know of. It shows half of the neighboring subdivision and all of the private land near a local reservoir as part of the national forest. I deleted it almost as soon as I bought it because I knew it wouldn’t be useful at all here. Only consider this app if you need it in the most general sense; do not trust it if you are out on the land and want accurate boundaries.

Needs ability to share/archive pin locations
I wanted to pin some of my favorite camping locations but found no way to share (with others or between different devices) or import/export. Also missing many public lands in PNW such as near port Angeles (especially state and county parks and DNR land )
Not Specific Enough
Not nearly specific enough. This app just shows large swaths of land, with mixed private and state showing as state land. I can get the same information from a small thumbnail.
Amazing app
I love this app and I have been using it for years. Great for cross referencing sat maps to find free places to camp.
Not ready for prime time
At best a work in progress.
Yeah... NOT SO MUCH
So i uploaded all 3 and my first Acquaintance with this app shows the”general” area however there are no difinitve markers to help me deal with the boundreys... its ALL VAUGE! Hope it gets better, be sure to read the reviews... IM JUST SAYIN!
Not useful
I got this app hoping it would show me where I could legally camp and where I could not. The “forest” overlay covered vast areas indiscriminately, including swathes of private land and even a small town (Nederland, CO). As of writing this in October 2020, this app is absolutely useless. I recommend using official US National Forest “motor vehicle use” maps instead.

Worthless. Don’t waste your $
Wow, I feel bamboozled. This app shows swaths of BLM land... etc... but you can’t zoom in and see any detail. Like the highway or street, kind of critical. Boooooo.
ABSALUTELY USELESS
The idea is great BUT the maps they have based the app on (newest versions as I just downloaded yesterday) is useless. When you look at the map in detail WHOLE TOWNS, STREETS are shown as US Forest where as there are miles and miles private land whihc is not shown. Consider that you are parked in the parking lot of a supermarket in a rural town and it shows you as being on US Forest land. That is USELESS

Disappointing
I purchased this app hoping to make sure I don’t intrude on private property near the winnemucca area . Not sure how I’m supposed to do that with areas of maps that look like a checkered board. Even if I zoom in, the checkers don’t become defined areas. Wish I could post a picture of what it looks like. Terrible. Waste of money

Terrible maps
Areas are blurred so you have no idea where public land boundaries are, good luck explaining that to the rangers out west on blm lands!
