### 4/5 — Can’t upgrade.

*2020-09-20*

This is a great app for training however I am unable to upgrade to the paid version. The paid app is not available to Australian users for some reason.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2019-07-07*

I’ve had this app for a few years - Free version - love the maps, real satellite view, and keeps track exceptionally well both distance and time. I only allow GPS during us so no issues on this aspect.  Keeps better track then my Fitbit but I use both.  Highly recommend the Free version.

### 3/5 — Mise à jour

*2019-06-26*

Pourquoi ne pas mettre à jour pour les IOS 11 et + ?

### 3/5 — Where’s the update!

*2018-03-12*

I loved the app. With an older 4S, but now I have SE and there is no update for IOS 11. Please hurry!!

### 4/5 — Loved this app

*2017-12-05*

This was a great app for me but now it crashes constantly. Apple also says it will not work with the update to version 11. Please update this app!

### 1/5 — Just purchased App

*2017-07-29*

Very sad, my phone has cel phone data available but this App say cel phone data too low, no refund from company, no support, only take payment but no tech support for Fully Paid App, very very sad.
Works 50% of time, all my other apps have 100% data from cel except this one, even in open areas gps fails but not from phone. Waste of money.

### 1/5 — Do NOT BUY I paid for the app and the first thing it does is loose my first work out

*2016-09-15*

Do Not Buy it runs Gps all the time, and won't keep track of your work outs. The first run I went on it already lost the mileage. It keep the time but lost the distance and speed

### 1/5 — Worst gps tracker ever

*2016-09-10*

What a useless app! Ugly interface and crashes every 5 seconds! Don't purchase !! 0 stars!!

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2016-02-23*

If you lock your iPhone while the app is recording, it Will always crash and you will lose all of your progress. It's even worse that I actually paid for the pro version of this app and it can't even keep track of my progress without crashing

### 2/5 — Hiked 10 miles and it was gone!

*2016-02-11*

Free app so how could you complain? The app tracked 10 miles perfectly until the end and it disappeared.  No storage or backup.
