I had used this on hikes in Austria and I found it to be very reliable. It also works very well and very accurately in Canada where I live. So much better than Google etc for off-trail areas. No annoying ads. I have now used it in Australia with very accurate results. April2025. Great in Sorrento, Italy

Nice app! I used the free version for two years and then bought the pro version. Good value for money. When I had a problem (the app didn't record the track anymore), I sent a mail to Bergfex and I was promptly helped. Turned out, that de default settings in the newly installed Android version had caused my problem. Great help, much appreciated :-) !!

A very good app, with possibility the best maps I've encountered so far (clean, crisp, graphically pleasing, with near 3D feel). Altitude data most accurate of all navigation apps I've tried. Works great with Garmin, not sure about other brands. The only thing that bothers me is the occasional mix of German and English language, but let's hope the developers will eventually work out this glitch.
