    I would really like to see horse trails on the app I think a lot more people would use for that setting.

    I’ve used onX to plan adventures and explore new horizons I would have never found without it.
  • Disappointing

    Update: frequent app freezes and crashes when opening the app outside of cell service even with a saved map. I don’t recommend this app at all. Really poor quality satellite imagery- lots of missing winter coverage, clunky route creation and viewing. Overall pan/explore/mapping experience is very clunky. You’ll spend a lot of time squinting and re-zooming or rotating the map after it flies off to look at something else unexpectedly.
  • Great App for Hiking

    Love all the features on this app. Easy to use and great info that I can use to build routes and make safe decisions in the backcountry .
  • Beware the $99.99 sneaky “elite” payment

    I decided to try this app using the free trial and was able to successfully use it. Yesterday the app required me to sign in to continue the “route” in progress. It was a big hassle as we were in and out of cell service. I did sign in (was not sure how I got signed out..?) , but did not realize that by signing in I was agreeing to pay for the next year of service. Lo and behold, I was emailed a receipt for $99.99 right after signing in. I don’t usually read through all of the fine print when I am signing into an app and didn’t realize or see anything about agreeing to pay a fee at that time. I had assumed that at the end of the trial, it would cancel my use of the app, and I would have to reapply and pay the fee. There is no warning. If you get booted and sign back in be prepared to pay the full price. Not happy. Giving this app two stars because of its functionality. It would be four stars, but deducting two because of deception.

    The trail selection to swipe left to right at the bottom of the screen barely works to view different routes in the same trail. I don’t love this app because of that. Please look into reworking this feature.

    Absolutely awesome app! I use it for everything. Caving, rock climbing, fossil hunting, wind reports for surfing and I just used it to stay informed on the wildfires in South Carolina that surrounded my neighborhood all week. I love this app
  • Useless without purchase

    Everywhere you click in the app prompts for a purchase to use. “In app purchase” is 100% legit and REQUIRED!!!!
