rakkup - Reviews, Revenue and Downloads - Apple App Store

Description

rakkup allows you to access an entire bookshelf of climbing and backcountry skiing guidebooks on your iPhone, even beyond the reach of cell phone coverage. Once downloaded, guidebooks work offline with no Internet connection! It is also the first and only mobile climbing app that navigates you through the trail system to your climb, turn by turn. Produced in partnership with Outdoor Research, rakkup reinvents the guidebook for the smartphone era.

We've partnered with Beacon Guidebooks, Wolverine Publishing ,and other publishers to bring you rich guidebooks complete with color photos and topo drawings. Free sample climbs and ski descents are included.

Browse climbs and descents on a map or in the list format of your choice, filter and search in seconds, then navigate using your phone's GPS with a single tap. In climbing guidebooks, the app continuously calculates the easiest route through the trail system from your current location. Simply follow the arrow and moving map.

Note: When actively navigating to a climb, rakkup uses GPS in background. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Terrible terrible UI

The app is horribly unintuitive.

Bad UI, loads of bugs

UI is absolutely not intuitive, lot of glitches and bugs. The only value is that some topo are exclusively available here, but I would not recommend anyone to start using this app to share their topo.

Has potential but falls short.

The overall structure of the app is great but the UI is slow and outdated. The bookshelf is buggy, I paid for a book and I am still yet to be able to open it even after the dev team told me I should be able to. I really wish this app was better.

Plenty of crashes

It has promise, and some features are pretty cool. However, it crashes often. Not worth it over a physical book at all.

Crashes when opening route

Crashes when opening any ‘book’ on updated iphone 12.

A good start, but needs some work

It does what it says on the tin, but there's a few things it could use. Some personalization settings might be nice. I never do trad, for example, and it's a little inconvenient to toggle it off every time I leave a topo. The ui also isn't really user friendly and sometimes feels like a maze to navigate. Nothing seems really clear and the icon's aren't really self-explanatory. And the crashing. So much crashing. It's in dire need of some stabilization. I know this all sounds really negative, but this could be a fantastic app with some work. The potential is here if the devs are willing to keep up the work. I'm still gonna be using it.

The climbing companion

Never met someone with such a phenomenal memory about route itinerary and grading, route quality, route location ... and always willing for a new adventure anytime.

Amazing app

This app is totally amazing. It's the same as a guide book, and it's lighter, smaller, clearer and much easyer to understand. Don't hesitate, every route is georeferenced wich make it way easyer to localise them. You just need to clic on the route you are interessed in and you'll have every information you need!!

Finally

A climbing topo app that gives you more than a guidebook! Easier to get to the climb and knowing where you are with gps functionality. Also love the have more than one picture especially on multi-pitch climbs. The best is that all data is on your phone, so no need for a wifi or 3G signal.

Guide book in my pocket

Most people don't leave home with out their phone. It's a camera, music player and general comunication device. People, reportedly, even make phone calls with them:) Now you can also have your climbing guide book on your phone. Combine that with a gps and you can find the climb you want to do easy even when your visiting a new crag! Super easy to use and you can use it off line as well, which lost of other apps you can't. I have used others but for me this is the best one!
