What an awful app. It loads the map extremely slowly on wifi and mobile data. Pretty much useless if you are trying to navigate. No legend on the map so you don't know what's what. Missing a lot of places as well. Also, I can't pay for anything anymore?

After purchasing have to fill out registration screen, including phone number which was buggy, but did eventually get through it. Also have to then purchase again to try out map. Except it constantly loses license, but will let say you re-add it, but will lose it again if you go to main menu. Also things like offline download doesn't work. Needs a lot of work. Edit:. Licensing seems to have fixed itself, but still doesn't download offline as well as numerous other very evident bugs. Hopefully they will work with other app develpers in future. Also just want to point out that I can't find any support for this aside from a few FAQ questions!

I really want to love this app as much as I do the paper and SD card versions. It would be nice to have a retry to download tiles with errors. I can get past the long download time. The missing tiles is going to be a deal breaker. I always take paper maps and compass on trips thankfully, because, this app let me down on the weekend out in the middle of the woods. This poor quality is unexpected in comparison to your other products.

Bought thinking this would be similar to their other products which are fantastic. They outline crownland and have a wealth of more information. I would rather pay more for a subscription then our base this product that seems lacking what this great company generally produces. Please work on something that is more similar to say an OnxMaps out of the USA.

Can't install. Keep getting errors. Very frustrated. Pay for an app that I can't use. It was installed on my old phone but won't install on new Samsung phone. Not happy
