Solid user experience and programming, this is how apps were supposed to be made. Includes offline maps, waypoint routing, storage and route tracking. No ads, no sneaky upsale strategy, no 3rd party tracking, no accounts to setup, just focused functionality, solid maps, and purpose. Thank you for making this.

This is the best hiking app for Switzerland. There are more hiking trails than in alltrails and komoot, route planning is extremely easy: it snaps to path, you can drag the route around, it displays all the usual statistics. Downloaded maps are available offline, you can import the hike into your usual hiking app if you want to keep your hikes history in one place. And it's free.

I have been using this apps for years now. It used to be the best map app for Switzerland. I was using to prepare my trips at home (I have the paid version) and on the field. Alas, since the latest update, it makes my phone overheat to the point of burning my fingers and deplete the battery so fast that it has become useless in the field, where I can't recharge my battery and it has to last for the whole day.
