Such a great app! Great for camping ideas close to 4wd tracks. Could be better though, maybe directional options for tracks. Some are easier one way than the other. And needs android auto compatibility.
★★★★☆Adam Dingli· Sep 4, 2025
Great app, only thing letting it down is no Android Auto but does have Carplay. Would like to see it in a future update
★★★★☆bushmanbob1982· Nov 16, 2025
Great app. Would like to see the comments you can post after you drive a track for more information on route planning. Would also like to see a description of the difficult sections noted in the track. Bog hole, rock steps, etc. would also like to see what type of vehicles rated a track, to determine if the track is easy for you or not
★★★★★Leslie Birch (Skippytbk)· Jan 19, 2026
A great app. Takes away the guesswork of whether I take the high road, or the low road.
★☆☆☆☆shannon Edwards (CCH Plant maint/4x4)· May 9, 2025
Purchase it not knowing or the app say but only suitable for Apple play not Android pretty annoying
★★☆☆☆Scott Howard· Mar 14, 2026
Really wanted to like this app, but several problems with it. On Fraser Island currently, great for knowing if you're on the right track, but ETA's don't seem to work... Tells me it will take 4 hours to go 12 km down the beach! Can't find any setting to correct this. Trying to add descriptions to pins, or rename pins does not work. Maybe I'm missing something but pretty disappointed so far.

I fear that this app enables irresponsible use of public roads which are subject to dry weather use only, fire tracks and walking trails. I believe this will lead to statutory authorities rightfully close tracks to prevent further damage. I do acknowledge the developers' response, however I have not seen any evidence to support their statement from any tracks within the greater area of my home city, which there is little to no information at all except 2 privately owned 4wd parks.

Subscribed. I have high hopes for this app and really need the features only this offers, so I'll be checking it again, but currently it's so laggy it's unusable. We have 10 vehicles who were all going to use it but due to a very slow laggy user interface we've all switched to other apps for this trip. I really hope the DEV's get on top of this, so I can keep using it, will change rating when issues are resolved. I've emailed the team with more specific info.
