Can't see past recorded tracks!! There doesn't seem to be a way to see your history of tracks, longest option is last 6 months or this calendar year... I just want to see "all" my recorded tracks, is that too much to ask?!?

Great to use on the road!

Love the detail of O/S maps conveniently in my pocket! Two feature requests: 1. Enable app to work with CarPlay 2. Consider adding historical O/S map layers (6 inch and 25 inch 1840s onwards)

Premium version is brilliant

Gosh finally an app that delivers. Love how easy the app is to use for both basic offline navigation and advanced features like tabletop 3D for route planning. I love paper maps but this consigns them to wall posters.

Poor quality maps

The maps were so low resolution it was pointless keeping the app. It’s a shame because it would otherwise be so useful.

Plagued with problems, poor support

This app has great potential but it just doesn’t work. I can’t view routes I have created nor can I view routes uploaded from gpx files. Support is so slow as to be worthless. I am a Premium member which means I subscribe to all their features. That gets you an app that doesn’t work and support that takes days to answer. Why bother. Worse than the cost of the Premium membership is the amount of time wasted trying to get simple things to work. It should be clear by now that I am not a happy user and recommend people to steer clear. I also use AllTrails. It works. I’ve never used AllTrails support, I’ve never needed to.

Downloadable maps don’t work. No help from OS to resolve.

Firstly the codes on the paper UK explorer maps didn’t work. After chasing it up with OS, the downloads were added to my app account. Then the downloads triggered a message “the map failed to load because the style can’t be loaded.” They advised be to uninstall, reinstall, redownload. Same issue again. When I contacted OS they said they would get technical services to look into it. A week later I got an email saying they couldn’t recreate the issue and couldn’t fix it, in spite of screenshots being provided showing it is a problem. Waste of time and clearly false advertising when they say includes mobile download on the front of their maps. Really poor service.
