Doub this update is worth it So far I've been very unimpressed with the unit. On a recent trip, when I sent a check in, it showed me at home while I was 4 hours away. . Other times the location keeps changing while I'm stationary. Location map, sent with check in, doesn't retain last location. Weather does not give hourly wind and, while on the same trip, showed zero percent chance of rain while it was raining? This is the most expensive unit on the market? Save your money. Buy the Zoleo

This is a great app for finding more things to do outdoors. The Bivy stick also helps put my mind at ease and allows me to keep up communication when I'm outside of cell coverage.

I'm brand new to Bivy, but I'd like to recommend some features be added to the app: When receiving a loation message via Bivy from another Bivy user, the location url cannot be selected by tapping on the url, nor long-pressing on the URL. One cannot select the text to copy it either. It would be really good if there was an option within the message to tap a map icon and have the map within the Bivy app show the other users location. What if two or.more Bivy users are trying to rendezvous?

Wasted $350 and another $50 on credits. As soon as I was out of the cellular range it would not connect the app crashed consistently and is not working whatsoever. Super disappointing and will be returning for a refund

Used with my bivy stick I am able to send messages so 1 star. As a stand alone hike route and tracking app on Android, this sucks. It looks good and seemed like it should be cool but it is not. Since it was my first time using the bivy app I ran bivy and Alltrails at the same time. I have never had a problem with Alltrails. I didn't look much as I knew most of the route and the rest was well marked. When I was done I found the Bivy app had crashed twice and taken Alltrails with it. Do not trust.

Works decently with my Bivystick. Could use some improvements. Wish that it displayed more clearly the battery status of my Bivystick (current charge percentage, whether it is being charged when plugged in, etc.). I also wish it would display more clearly the satellite connection status. It's often difficult to tell whether or not it has a good signal. Lastly, the messaging section feels pretty clunky. I often have to back out of a conversation to actually see that I've gotten a response.
