I have a paid subscription so i can download a map to use it when there is no mobile internet. However when i get to a place without internet and i really need my map, it doesn't show up. Yes, i see that the map is downloaded and yes, the offline mode is active. Every time i update the app i must login again and re-syncronize and it fails!!! A few versions down the road all issues are still there. Also layers don't work. How about spending some of the subscription money on fixing issues?

I can't get past logging in wichever way I try. It keeps synchronizing so I'm not able to use the app. I know my friend is really enthusiastic about this app so I would have liked it if it worked for me as well. Got a really fast response from the developer. Fixed my problem! Thanks! Improvement for the app would be to give feedback about the problem. I.e a list with options you can try to fix the problem yourself.

Major step down compared to ViewRanger. Having been a VR user for over 10 years i basically lost 90% of the functionality. Ive been looking for an alternative which is massively annoying. Where can I even start from - map layer isnt as detailed, no offline mode and massively unfriendly interface. Lots of grayed out options forcing you to become a member. The list goes on....
