Too complicated to use…
I just could use it. Paid my £1.99, downloaded the free national parks maps, but couldn't use it to plan a fairly simple hike in the Brecon Beacons. Perhaps it was just me. Deleted it. I’ll find another app.
No, OutDoors GB is not free (it costs 7.99), and it also contains in-app purchases.
🤔 The OutDoors GB app's quality is mixed. Some users are satisfied, while others report issues. Consider reading individual reviews for more context.

Useless search function; not enough zoom to see where you are. Frustrating!
The maps are clear right through all scales. The download system is incredibly sensibly by area. Works perfectly offline, something many don’t and when your out on the hills this is invaluable. You can upload gpx files and have the route overlay a map, bit convoluted system using the web site to do it but it works. Only thing it’s missing is snap/magnetic route planning, seems harsh to dock a star for that but it’s not perfect, close but not quite. I’ve tried others and always come back Outdoors GB. Best annual subscription I pay for
You can either use this with live online maps or download numerous different 1:50K and 1:25K maps for offline use in different areas of the country: regions, counties, National Parks, areas of natural beauty etc. NB you are not prompted to update these so it’s worth deleting and reloading them occasionally. The Great Britain 1:250K Road Atlas map provided is years out of date so not reliable for route planning. I don’t use the route mapping and feel that’s given too much prominence - it’s far too easy to press the large button to start recording a route by mistake.
This is great for driving, cycling and walking. I don’t use the route mapping and feel that’s given too much prominence - it’s far too easy to press the large button to start recording a route by mistake. The greatest flaw is that the OS maps you can download are many years out of date. Numerous new roads and junctions in my part of England are not there at all. The live maps are the latest editions but I want to be able to download maps on my home wi-fi before I go out, not use mobile data when I’m on the ground.
As the title suggests, this app just works: trustworthy and reliable, I have purchased many maps for offline use and now I have the unlimited OS Maps subscription too. For anyone trying to give a negative review; learn how to use the app and the maps, only bad workmen blame their tools. One wish? Please allow me to use this with Apple CarPlay
Update 29/4/23: After the latest update its loading again & seems to be working fine so back to 5 stars. 24/4/23 update to the below, 1 week on & the app still doesn’t load, no update from the developers. 17/4/23: Had this for years & it’s been very good, however today, it’s not loading - app just shows loading photo & sticks (iPhone XS, iOS 16.4.1).
Just updated to the latest version 6.5.5 today of my favourite and much used map app. This latest update still doesn’t work at all on my iPad iOS 16.4.1 . It still just crashes out from the Home Screen. This is still appalling.
Version 6.5.4 does not work on my iPhone se (2016) running iOS 13.
1 April 2023: Latest update will not open on either my IPhone 12 or my iPad Air so I am unable to access any maps, online or offline. Also prior to the update some maps appear to be missing chunks of the maps. Great shame as this app was the “go to” app for Ordnance Survey mapping and routing.
