User reviews

Beste native Wander-App für die AW

Die App macht genau, was sie verspricht. Es ist wirklich toll, alleine mit ihr zu navigieren, ohne das iPhone benutzen zu müssen. Navigation an Handgelenk, wie man es sich wünscht auf die ständigen Updates bringen jedes Mal ganz wertvolle Verbesserungen.

Die perfekte App fürs Laufen, Hiken und Trailrunning

Habe bisher Footpath in Kombination mit meiner Apple Watch Ultra 2 genutzt. Eigentlich gab es nur Kleinigkeiten inkl. dem nicht ganz günstigen Abomodell, aber in Summe war die App deutlich besser, als alles zuvor getestete Apps. Durch Zufall bin ich auf WristTopo gestoßen und habe diese nun einige Wochen getestet. Für mich ist diese App perfekt. Sehr intuitiv (ähnlich wie Footpath), jedoch individueller einstellbar (insbesondere auch die Screens) und nicht so überfrachtet wie andere Apps. Nutze für Routenplanungen zusätzlich die App MapOut. Routen kann ich über Teilen einfach importieren und übernehmen bzw. anpassen. Durch separates Starten von Aufzeichnung und Navigation konnte ich während der Pause unserer letzten Hikingtour eine Änderung der Route direkt auf der Uhr fortsetzen.
Für Läufe nutze ich nun ebenfalls diese App, da mir diese besser gefällt, als die anderen Standard Apps zum Laufen, auch fürs Trailrunning mit der Offlinekarte ideal.
Ich habe mich nach kurzer Zeit entschieden, die Lifetime-Version zu kaufen, da ich den Entwickler unterstützen möchte. Aber selbst das Jahresabo mit 10€ empfinde ich als sehr fair und seinen Preis auf jeden Fall wert. Vielen Dank Piotr für die Entwicklung dieser App!

The Navigation App We Needed

Just a joy to use and makes navigating on your Apple Watch feel so intuitive and fun!

Absolutely exceptional app. Download now!

Fantastic app, well worth downloading and using straight away. It's easy to use and the developer is very responsive. Hope it gets the success and the audience it deserves.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for the kind words, and for recommending WristTopo! :) About the distance: by default WristTopo uses Apple's distance calculation, which combines GPS with motion sensor data, so it can be affected by the same issue. That's why v7.2 added an option for it. On the iPhone, go to Settings › Recording › Distance & Average Speed and choose GPS. New workouts will then use GPS-only distance, also in Apple Health and Fitness. Thanks again for the support! Best, Piotr

Bravo

Super travail, continuez à développer comme ça votre application 👏👏👏
