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.
“Premium”
The initial app was very promising, so I upgraded to access “premium” topographical mapping. Unfortunately this premium map is an embarrassingly bad image that couldn’t even be used for planning long distance cycling or driving. So disappointing given the fantastic quality I’m used to from OS in the UK. Such a shame as the base app is good Update: several weeks later the “premium” maps haven’t been updated, and I’ve had no response to emails to customer services. Star rating reduced commensurately.
Rubbish!
Why would I pay for a subscription when I have no idea what sort of quality I can expect?
Not worth it!
I got suckered into paying for the app, it doesn’t even show available riding trails in my area. They are sign posted by the local council but this app doesn’t recognise them. Absolute waste of money!
Useless for Australia
Absolutely useless for Australia. Zero maps in SEQ, complete waste of time and money.
Not for AU Vic
Doesn’t really have anything listed, there’s quite a few well known walking tracks in my area and none appear on the map.
Not worth it!
Downloaded and signed up. What a waste not even one trail in my area. And found only one in the whole Aus. Waste of time! Deleting and canceling the subscription!
