I've installed this app twice, about a year ago and recently again. The reason I remove the app initially was because I noticed it would drain the battery of my phone significantly and although it did offer some interesting features I didn't think it was worth it. Recently installing the app the battery usage seems to have been improved the but the app feels like what is basically a glorified post-it noting which routes you've climbed. Generally I find navigating within the app confusing at best, things that I would think I can click are not, searching for other gyms or adding them is confusing. Just generally navigating through the app is confusing, hitting the back button and accidentally leaving the app while expecting to go back to the previous screen is frustrating. There seems to be no way of creating a personal list (circuit) of routes I want to climb and circuits only seem to be applicable for a single session. Earlier today I heard that the gym reservations are going to be run run VL as well for the gyms I frequent. This is something I especially despise as now I'm forced to use this app. I don't see the added value of this app or why I would pay for this app on top of a gym membership.

Hi Andre, the gym reservations are a web service and are not managed through the app. I hope till your third app install you started outdoor climbing and realize that you can find and soon tick every route on earth with VL. We will get better in the meantime. Best, Matthias

What could be such a great way to explore a lot of different climbing areas without having to buy a lot of different topos and having to carry around a lot of weight, this app unfortunately does not work properly. The app works very slow or gets stuck frequently. Very often the descriptions of approach are incorrect or incomplete, but more importantly, the grading of the routes are often incorrect. Plus, very annoyingly, the offline mode does not function when you have downloaded crags.

Lots of bugs (doesn't start when opening the app, some topos and approaches don't show, sometimes downloaded content can't load). Also, for filifor topos, the additional route information (such as additional protection information) is missing. I appreciate that there is lots of content for different areas of the Europe which would justify the subscription fee but it would be nice to get the basic things sorted!
