1 ★ This is not a replacement for VR. In VR, I had a great screen where I could view riding parameters (speed, distance, time of day, etc.) in large clear contrasting letters (viewable in sunlight with sunglasses). Parameter screen was customizable. Gone with no replacement. I will be deleting this and looking for another suitable app. This is useless for my purposes.
1 ★ I've been fooling around with this app for over a year and man, do I miss Viewranger. The interface is about as intuitive as a schematic for a super collider. Eg: How about a quick, simple way to save a single waypoint from the map screen (like your car or the boat launch), then a quick, simple way to navigate back to that WPT? Nope, can't do it, unless you start tracking FIRST?(!!) Has to be the most complicated, frustrating outdoor nav app out there. Sure wish Gaia worked on my watch.
5 ★ This is the app you're looking for if you want a GPS tracking map displayed on your smart watch (for free). I tried all of the other popular and recommended apps and none of them seem to have this feature, which I think is the most important feature of a wearable navigation app. For that reason alone, I rated this a 5/5, but the app also has a great interface, all the data you'd want, and many other great features. It does not have as good of a trail/route database as Alltrails.
2 ★ The selection of maps is underwhelming. Viewranger had licensed the latest USGS maps and a selection of osm maps that were very useful. I got my thirty day free pro subscription and there's really nothing available that's close. The USGS maps are so old they show highways that were demolished in the mid sixties. It's totally useless for my purposes. In addition, viewranger would show the altitude provided by the metadata for any point on the map, this app only uses gps for the current point.
1 ★ Terrible both in form and function. Used VR until the day it was shut down, then cursed this "replacement" for the next 3 days of hiking. It would randomly zoom out to continent scale and stop tracks. Distance traveled has been moved to a small status bar and only displays ft/m units, which is worthless on a multi-mile hike. So much more that just doesn't make sense for the backcountry user. Will gladly pay subscription fees for CalTopo to get a usable GPS interface.
1 ★ Utterly impossible to figure out. Help files are completely wrong. The buttons and menus shown in the help do not exist. There is no distinct between the desktop and phone app help, so neither is ever correct. Even showed a T...p ad! Absolutely disgusting. And of course their response to this review is the boilerplate "email service" which means , "Go away. We do not care about ViewRanger lovers." Terrible replacement for ViewRanger.
2 ★ I was a ViewRanger user for about 3-4 years, and I am an avid hiker. I used the OA app for the first time yesterday with my brother who is an inexperienced hiker. We tried testing the Buddy Beacon for safety. After accepting his invitation, the Buddy Beacon still won't work or acknowledge that I accepted his invitation. Also, for the US, elevation units are inconsistent. Many of the topo features are listed in meters until you zoom in to see them in feet. Trails are also mislabeled.
4 ★ One of the best features of prior app Viewranger was the ability to select a map area without creating a route, and downloading a large region - for those times when you stray from a pre-determined route. With Outdooractive the map download feature automatically zooms to the limits of your route - why?? So you're forced to artificially create a dummy route to expand map area. Again - why? Loss of flexibility and features is hard to understand, maybe I'm missing something. De-coupling maps from routes gave VR much more versatility and user-friendliness - maybe this can be looked at for future versions. Edit: thanks for the tip, Outdooractive, I stand corrected. Updating to 4 stars.
1 ★ Kind of a bad replacement for viewranger. This not something I would trust for any serious outdoor activity. Maybe is good for parks and city walks. Maps are all very very bad. The outdooractive map and actually the whole app seems like it was created for kids. Missing lot of functionality when compared with viewranger. There are other apps out there you can trust, this one is not one of them right now.
2 ★ Very unimpressed with Outdooractive. Tracks are inaccurate. The same GPX loaded into ViewRanger yields a different result, which is always far closer to reality. Route planning accuracy can't be trusted. The user interface is cluttered. It runs slower than ViewRanger, it seems way too much emphasis was placed on graphics. Outdooractive Pro charges far more for the same features I got for 40% of the price in ViewRanger Pro, including more detailed maps. I have no incentive to make the switch.
2 ★ A very sad app. I am sorry that I started my Viewranger-subscriber trial now - I should have waited an update or two, because it will be wasted on the app as it is. The first thing I looked at was the maps, which are perhaps okay for France and Germany, but are rather poor for the United States. Before I got on the Pro+ trial, I wondered why they didn't have OpenTopoMap as an option, but it turns out that OTM is significantly better than their vaunted Pro map, and is widely available in cheaper and free apps. I have been using AlpineQuest, Locus Map 4, OsmAnd, Gaia (a sloppy mess, but still sometimes useful), and some others. I don't see any way this is going to be anywhere near the top of that list any time soon, if ever. From other reviews, they are going to ask me to contact support with details. Nope. Not worth the time and effort until I've seen some evidence of effort on their part. At half the annual cost, I'd be willing to take a deeper look at it, but not at a super-premium price. More gloss than guts. Skip it.
2 ★ After all the notifications about View Ranger migrating over to this app, I figured I'd finally give it a try, and it looks like I'm as disappointed as everyone else who was a loyal VR user. The ability to download small map areas for free seems entirely gone, now you must pay the recurring fee, and this was the most important feature for me. Uninstalling.
2 ★ Slow, and feature poor with basic version. I was forcibly transitioned from Viewranger, and lost access to all of the US topo maps that I had paid for. When I stream a podcast while recording a track, the CPU usage is so great that it's a laggy playback. I just want Viewranger back with my paid maps. Looking for a replacement hiking app...
2 ★ This should be advertised as a european ski resort app. It records your tracks well but the search for new trails is horrible in the U.S. Most state park trails do not even show up unless an individual trail is specified and even then, you have to sort through several with no assurance the one you want will be listed. Bring back Viewranger!!!
1 ★ Why force us over from viewranger? The best feature of being able to see all your tracks on one map is not present on the app. Build that in and maybe I'll come back... It was such good navigational referennce and a personal collection of hiking and biking history. I had 7 years of tracks that i cherish for help to navigate and plan and I'll be looking for a replacement app now.
