Forced to 'upgrade' from Viewranger app that they switched off access to. In outdooractive, graphs and maps of tracks you've completed no longer show where you were by time, only by distance, making it impossible to see how long you took between any two points. Critical missing functionality. Also the constant upsell to the paid version is really intrusive.

Log in was not working good. Accepted password but then I appeared as not logged in. It brought me to sync status that was never disappearing. I could not find the routes proposed in the web, only the options to plan yours. I couldn't find a bookmarked route. Very unfriendly for a user although it seems to have a lot of potential. App should be designed together with hikers who have the needs. GPS together with map would be great

The default map is not bad, but being forced to switch from great ViewRanger, to this one means dropping important features, which now are only available for a hefty price (e.g. offline maps, showing offline tracks) or not at all (importing .gpx?). It may be going in a more fashionable direction, but definitely it's not made as an app for serious mountain activities. Also it's packed with ads. There are some nice ideas, like gathering the avalanche info or mountain huts - but this is still very limited (e.g. both mostly apply for Switzerland only). I'd stick to ViewRanger as long as it's available,
