Fantastic app. Creating amd exporting routes has become more reliable and easy for me. It does unfortunately require internet to reliably display maps while on the go, despite the ability to download offline maps. However since It's free its acceptable. The ability to show winter maps and layers of diverse information is incredible. Thanks to the developers. Zero ads and no paywall.

I have been using these apps for years now. It used to be the best map app for Switzerland. I was using to prepare my trips at home (I have the paid version) and on the field. Alas, since the latest update, it makes my phone overheat to the point of burning my fingers and deplete the battery so fast that it has become useless in the field, where I can't recharge my battery, and it has to last for the whole day.

I have big problems with off-line maps, in combination with ski-routes. Maps simply are not displayed, or vanish when changing some setting. I have already notified them last year. Now in preparation of another tour, things are still hopeless. I hope to at least find a work-around. These are the best maps, the route information in combination with my location would be very important.
