  1. 5/5Awesome value

    The app is a like rough around the edges with some UX love needed. But the developer is responsive and will answer questions. He put in a custom feature for me when I needed it. I don’t know if any other app where you can download topo maps for so cheap.

  2. 5/5The Best

    I have to write something since this great app has only one review. This app is my choice for hiking use. Being able to use OpenAndroMaps (trails, roads, topo) is perfect. I haven’t found another iOS app this capable for using free vector maps. It deserves more attention (it gets more on Android). Thanks for making this available.

  3. 3/5Mostly works

    I found recently that the compass becomes completely random. This is repeatable. It seems to occur if the device decides the compass is being recalibrated. So when hiking with the device in your pocket the compass becomes useless, requiring a restart of the app. The device compass is just fine. It’s just the as app.
