I bought the physical guidebook which includes a password to access maps inside, how do I use this password? The app is asking me for payment again to download the relevant maps... I managed to download gps maps through pc and import them on my phone.

Revised review based on feedback from devs: after adding the book to the app, it works as expected. In the book itself, it does not mention that option (only that I can download and import the tracks).
★★★★☆Jiří Nečas· Apr 24, 2022
Having the guides in the phone is great. But translating app interface to english and allowing to paste german tour descriptions to Google Translate would be very helpful.

It sucks every time you download a map it stops a 60 % don't buy it

UPDATE 2017 Hello Rother! We have just had people coming to our farm with BRAND-NEW app with GPS points. They still direct people to come up to our doorstep and walk on our field. This is so easy to fix and if you have problems with what the best route is then please contact me, and I will send you a map showing the correct route. This is your customers that are getting the wrong information and are not so happy. Please correct this ASAP!

Bad Everything is in German, the guides section is as expensive as the physical books are, and the only usable component of the app is the GPS function on an outdoor map. Too bad this cannot be saved offline...
★★☆☆☆X V· Jul 9, 2022
It doesn't have a single trekking in Bulgaria - land full of mountains and really good trekking paths and not a single in this app. Sorry but can not use and recommend. Too fixed on Germany
★★☆☆☆Leonhard Moser· Apr 26, 2026
Impractical and unintuitive in use. You have to unpack each tour gpx of a book with 60 tours individually to make them available in the app. I'd rather use the paper version and then find a tour on a different app.
