No frills app - could be improved

I wish you could zoom out a little further on the map.

It would have been great to be able to download a gpx file of the route.

Other than that, it does a pretty good job

Very good app

Very good app

Minor fixes needed

The app is a great way to support the Three Peaks routes. Does more than I thought it would.

Minor issues:

Features - North and distance markers / grid not shown on maps

Content - Ingleton is no where near the Horton-in Ribblesdale railway station as mentioned on the Inglebrough walk

Work in progress

So I did the Ingleborough route today, and it was correct.

The directions are OK, and it is not the app developer’s fault the arrow has fallen off the crucial path signpost where Horton and Clapham walkers part company on the way down. I thought I had overshot the turning, and it was only in hindsight using Viewranger that I had definitely gone the correct way. If the route stated the footpath joined the Pennine Bridleway I wouldn’t have felt lost for so long.

The app is a bit odd:

-The graphics/buttons are from the iPod touch 2nd generation era. The use of buttons to link back to previous pages is inconsistent.
-The Feedback button opens a box and lets you type, but you can’t submit it as it contains “invalid arguments”.
-I don’t know what “Layar” is, but that doesn’t work either - it generates a security error message on a third party website.
-The GPS functionality DEFINITELY isn’t in there. I’m running 12.4 on an SE. The arrowhead button on the map legend does nothing, and there is no entry for the app in Location Services. I had 4G reception almost all the way round too.
-Once you click “Start” on the route instructions page you are taken to the map. It’s a nice touch that there is a stopwatch function, but 1)The distance doesn’t change (because the GPS isn’t there), and 2)If you want to toggle back to the text instructions you have to abandon your timing, which then resets when you “Start” again.

It’s worth £2.99 at the moment, just. It NEEDS to be brought up to date, to match the website.

App doesn’t work

Downloaded ios version for iPad. Simply doesn't work. Just presents as small window in middle of screen and will not enlarge to full screen. Shame on Yorkshire Dales NP for promoting it. Waste of money

Working fine on iOS 11.4.1

It would appear that whatever bugs were causing problems for the previous reviewer are no longer an issue, at least not on my iPhone which is currently running iOS 11.4.1

App does not work

No maps, no gps, useless. Absolute waste of £2.99. attempts made to contact the developer with no response.

Blank screen and no signal.

This app required wifi to work, which there is non on the trail so you won't be able to use it on the day. Mine has now broken completely and only shows white blank pages on any selected buttons from the bottom. Can't even leave feedback whilst in the app as it keeps saying error. Payed £2.99 for it. Doesn't work. Don't bother using.

No GPS and Aug Reality flaky

The current version of the app doesn't seem to work probably on iOS 9.1. Location services does not work - the app doesn't even have a setting entry for this and your location doesn't appear on its maps, nor are you told when POIs are near. The augmented reality views look great on WiFi but at the top of Pen-y-Ghent mobile data was too slow for them to work so it was a waste of time. All in all the app looks great, promises much but fails to deliver.

Black screen

Black screen also. Fix.

Just a little peek would be nice.

Purchased the app. and despite reloading more than once, all I get is a black screen.
I realise that the three peaks get dark, particularly during the winter months, but can you please sort it out, so I may at least get one look at the three peaks.

Great Idea

This app is a great way to plan your trip before you set off for a walk in the Dales. Maps, hotels, pubs, transport and things to do - brilliant idea and only £1.99.
My favourite features are the panoramic views, safety advice and the ability to view different walks on an OS map to work out where to go before I arrive.
Definately worth downloading.
