OS Maps: Walk, Hike, Run, Bike

I’ve been a long time (and very happy) subscriber to and user of OS Maps. It’s nice to see that it’s added 3D functionality at last, and that’s probably indicative of where it sits in the marketplace; other apps may develop quicker and offer more bells and whistles, but when OS Maps does catch up those features normally perform well. But there’s a “but”, and it’s a big one for me - when researching places off the beaten track, the search functionality is woeful. Even for common places, performance is slow and suggestions unhelpful/inaccurate, and for more offbeat locations it lags massively behind something like OutDoors GPS. So, please, Ordnance Survey, improve this and you can have at least an extra star, or possibly two.

Unable to plot5 a route since update, it’s gradually got worse on every single update!

When OS first put up an app it was useless. It later became quite useful even if a bit clunky. It has become useless again.

Love this app places near home we never knew existed. Easy to use my go to navigation app for walking

This morning I opened the app in an area which is downloaded on my phone. I was simply shown a black screen with the position marker in the centre. This persisted for over TWELVE MINUTES before it changed to a blank white screen, followed a minute or two later by the map I had been waiting for! Are the developers really this incompetent, or are they just having a laugh at our expense?

Dope a mean kicking

The app works fine but it could be better. It could allow you to change the colour of your route. It could show the part you have done in solid lines and the part remaining in dotted lines. It could allow you to start circular walks at less popular places (than the "official" start) where it's easier to park and then deduce that you will walk around starting and ending there and calculating distance to go accordingly.

What used to be a brilliant app is now useless

The app was great last year. However, it is far harder and confusing to use now. But the biggest complaint is the removal of the Augmented Reality function WITHOUT TELLING ANYONE! I’ve just spent an hour trying to find it, to finally find a note buried in the online help to say it had been removed as it wasn’t up to standard. Not good enough OS.

Although I have a subscription to the app. I can’t access.
