Avenza Maps: Offline Mapping Customer Service

Avenza Maps: Offline Mapping Positive Reviews

Upper Mississippi HIGHLY recommendI have been using Avenza Maps to navigate the upper Mississippi River since last year. It provides real time GPS positioning on their map app. I downloaded individual US Army Corps of Engineers navigation river maps from their website into this app, and using my ipad or iphone, gps positions me EXACTLY where I am in the channel. I verified the accuracy to within within about 10 feet! Easy to navigate in the dark now! Thus I can see all the wing dams, and my relative position to them, and the channel is highlighted in white. The ONLY slightly negative thing is you have to manually switch between each river map when you go off the current map. I have boated now over 200 river miles using these maps with high accuracy, since a long river trip last summer. The only limitation I found is that the USACE has moved the channel slightly in some areas, and the most recent USACE navigation maps edition don’t show these changes. (NOT the apps fault).432tomVersion: 4.0.4

Slipping a bitThis is one of my major hiking pre-plan go-to apps. I still eyeball it, but the store has gone all wonky somewhere along the line. Trying to download the gazetteer for an upcoming Maine trip, but it just refuses to cooperate. First, the search returns hits for Kentucky and Arkansas near the top of the results list. Under what ridiculous search algorithm would results for Maine get pushed below other states? Further, it is only returning individual Maine maps at 99¢ apiece, rather than offering the whole gazetteer bundle in one shot, like it did for other states I own. Not buying 50+ individual maps, for neither all that hassle nor the price. Tried sorting for highest price first, hoping maybe a full bundle would bubble near the top of the results list: nope. Some $7.99 irrelevant result came up, while every other search result I had just been viewing literally disappeared entirely when sorted that way. 4/5 stars: fact is, what I have from Avenza right now is awesome. I just can’t seem to do anything in terms of conveniently expanding my library, for the moment.StreetMedic380Version: 4.0.4

Amazing app for national forest landsI got this specifically to get our local National Forest maps, without knowing how wonderful it really was. I’m so glad I did. I am able to plot pins in favorite little hidden campsites, lay tracks so I can navigate back to unusual places or check how long it takes to get there. I can even add photos to those spots. Buying the national forest map so this way costs about half the price of the printed versions and with the advantage of being interactive. Another major bonus is on my phone it works off satellite and doesn’t depend on cell service. Many national forest areas have no cell service but I can still use the map. Of course it does use up your battery so there’s that to prepare for. I charge it when I’m driving with my cigarette lighter adapter. I’ve also found many local free maps (or very cheap) such as geological surveys..Starlisa BlackVersion: 3.14

The best for hiking/biking. Doesn't drain the phone battery!I've tried several other apps for hiking/biking in (un)known areas and there was always some issue with them: or they would drain my phone battery in an hour (not good when you are far in the wild), or they wouldn't have all the trails/paths/roads mapped or they wouldn't show accurately my location at the moment (crucial on a new trail). This app has it all! Really have been a saviour when I would get lost in the woods and it also makes exploring new routes adventures, enjoyable and interesting! The phone doesn't seem to lose power faster then in normal circumstances. And your current location is shown even if you have zero bars of connectivity and google maps fail. Highly recommendable and big thanks, developers!:).ZndhryVersion: 3.14

My go-to hiking navigation appHands down, this is my favorite app to use while hiking. I am in New York City, USA and I do most of my hiking in the highlands north of the city. Avenza has really high quality maps showing all the local trails. It tracks my location on those maps and doesn’t use too much battery. I also like the ability to record GPS tracks. I would give it a 5 except for a few clunky features that are a bit hard to use. It is hard to get the tracks to disappear off a map without deleting them altogether. They obscure the view of that map for subsequent hikes. I would also like the ability to draw paths freehand to measure trail distances. As it is now, you have to create a series of straight line segments that don’t mimic actual trail geometry. Overall, though, I haven’t found a better app for the price. And, you can buy and download the maps. I used this for a trip to Athens!.J. BagsVersion: 3.15.5

Smart tracking, clunky interfaceOften overlooked are the app’s intelligent tracking capabilities that are very customizable and can yield more accurate tracks with less noise than many leading GPS apps. However, you will be hard pressed to reliably export features like tracks to other apps because Avenza’s approach to layers is just all wrong. So bad. Record a track and you should be able to name it right away and have it be findable at top level directory rather than buried in a sea of Avenza’s generic, self-named Layers. Tracks and waypoints should simply transfer to other apps via iPhone’s Open In sharing option, but because your actual track is a so-called Feature within a Layer and never expressly named, you can’t reliably locate it during export. It’s a shame because Avenza isn’t realizing the full potential of what is good about it, and I feel it’s due to misunderstanding its user base and believing all they want are digitized PDFs they can draw on. This is the niche around which the whole ecosystem revolves..Qwerty del CampoVersion: 3.11.1

Frustrating AppI’ve been using the app for approximately six months during a handful of off-road trips. It’s adequate when you acquire a map which is originally done in PDF (such as from Tom Harrison, National Geographic, and some others). Many of the maps, however, are in fact sourced from compressed scans of printed maps (or low quality renderings) that are virtually unusable when zoomed in to ascertain area details. The store does not indicate which are native PDF and which are scans. Many of the better available maps are available in hard copy for essentially the same price, though missing only the nice ability to use your device’s GPS to indicate and track your location. An issue of all mapping apps is that it’s sometimes nice to spread out a paper map to get the big picture as something is lost when you use an app such as this to zoom out making features so small that they’re unrecognizable and text unreadable. Overall, if you needs maps, you’re much better off getting the much more capable Gaia app and suffering the subscription fee which you’ll quickly rack up in a handful of maps with this app versus unlimited maps in Gaia. I think there’s a place for this app if you restrict yourself to Tom Harrison maps or are able to get lucky and find native PDF maps which are not available on Gaia, but all of the Nat Geo Trails illustrated and topographic maps are in Gaia ... and much easier to find and download..Otokoyama DenkiVersion: 3.3.3

A Must HaveI absolutely love this app. My family enjoys hiking, biking, and off highway motorcycle riding which is where this app excels. For all you single track and trail riding motorcycle enthusiasts find your map by searching for either “MVUM” (multi vehicle use map) and/or “OHV” (off highway vehicle). No worries about cell service as this app utilized the GPS in your phone. I also love the ability to plot photos and mark my trails which makes it a joy to share later with friends. A feature I would like to see added would be the ability to share my recorded “track” via a simple text. The track would then be imported into other applicable maps and more importantly with friends who also have the app and corresponding map(s) so that they could follow the same track at a later date..Since 1992Version: 3.4

My time with AvenzaI was up on top of a mountain top hunting driving life four-wheel-drive of theSome steep hills and I saw a lady sitting on the road and her bicycle laying on side and I thought she may have crashed I pulled up and asked her if she was OK and she said she was fine she was just riding over the mountain. She saw me looking at some paper maps for the roads and she told me about a Venza and that’s where my experience with the van to begin I am so impressed with this program as with on X without satellite feed you can’t use the map but with Avenza you can use the map and it tells you where you’re at every place you are magnificent program thank you very much strange lady on the mountain and thank you Avenza Randy Watson hunting near Garibaldi..YdnarNostawVersion: 3.15.5

Extremely helpful. Extremely capable.Once you understand the benefit of a geo-referenced map you’re hooked. You can use your phone, don’t need a paper map, you know EXACTLY where you are, and you don’t need cell coverage because the app uses your phone’s internal GPS signal. Pros- use your cell phone, don’t need cell coverage, excellent for spots where several trails meet in a short area, see topo lines on many maps, configure app to use battery only when the app is open, some maps are free. Cons- finding the exact map you need can be difficult, some maps are spendy, no info about local area - literally just a map.._RedlinesVersion: 5.3

What happened to searching for maps?I used to love Avenza. I still use it with the maps i have in my collection, but to search for a new map, forget about it. I liked that you can put searching maps for recreation but now that option is gone so you get ALL the types of maps they have on file. I need hiking trails not topographical maps or other kinds of maps. Don’t even bother searching a specific area because it will send you somewhere else not even in your own State. The buttons cut off so you just see the top of the word (Download, next, previous...) so I have to guess what it says without pressing the buy button. So frustrating. I want to love this app again since I’m always out on the trails. Fix the problem please so I can get new maps without going to a different app..Chica631Version: 3.9.1

Great appI’ve used this app for years and I am finally getting around to writing a review. I recently had to access customer support and they were immediately responsive and helped me with my problem. A+ service. I live that once you purchase a map, you own it and don’t have to pay a subscription. Finally, as a mushroom hunter, I often go off-trail and I love that I can download the appropriate map on my phone, turn the phone to airplane mode ( to conserve the battery) and use this app to satellite track my location on the map not only to mark a mushroom spot but also to help guide me back to a road or trail if I’m in need of that!.XyzpantherVersion: 3.14.1

Recent update no longer accurately mappedAfter this most recent update, all of my pins as well as my location are now on the very small reference map at the bottom and not on the main one. Is there a way to revert back to a previous version? Update 11/5: after a couple of version updates, my issue was finally fixed. Thanks to the developer for their efforts in resolving the problem. It would be easy for a company to forget about small concerns like mine but to their credit, they did not and got things working like new again. Thanks for all the help!.Geoc fanVersion: 3.15.2

Map TheoryI love this method of modern cartography. my favorite is the Beartooth Maps specifically for hiking and biking. I am a land surveyor and this is the best way I have found to get the exact map I want for the purpose I need. Once downloaded you can operate offline without any extra steps. The map store is simple and does not require you be a land surveyor or cartographer to figure out what you need. I wish there were more companies that would consider adding their maps to the store here in the mountain west. This is the only downside I could find, I want more maps..KennythecoolCanonguyVersion: 4.2.2

Good app, comes in handyWe’ve used this app many times to find maps of areas we are traveling to for camping and hiking. Several times we ended up with no reception and these maps helped us get back easily, even will show your location on the map if there is a brief signal. Only two wishes for improvements: when a map expires, have a link or suggestion for a replacement map. And better descriptions for why one map may be better than another-Yellowstone for example has so many available maps for free or to buy-but which is the location, level of detail, etc that you want?-can’t always tell by the descriptions..Alicat990990Version: 3.5.1

The only map app I use for work.Avenza maps application is very detailed and depending on the map your using can help you with backpacking, work, traveling and recreating. I personally use it most for work because I am a wildland firefighter. It helps immensely with navigating through areas I am unfamiliar with, minimizing the hazard of becoming lost in potentially high stress situations. I would recommend this application for anyone who works outside or plays outside. Also I don’t know if I mentioned this but it works offline and will show your approximate location even without service. Applause to avenza!.Beansa37Version: 3.7.3

DecentWhen I am able to get the maps they work well but that is a BIG if. The button to “download” a map have writing that is illegible so you can’t read the price. There are two buttons below that, which I have no idea what they say because again the words are shown illegibly. It doesn’t tell you when a map is downloaded when click the box that I think says download. When I search for a specific free map it won’t show up unless I specifically use the link from another site. And at least half the time the maps don’t download. So many bugs make this an app o would not recommend but it is the only app where I Can get NYS park maps for free so I am stuck with it.JharawitzVersion: 3.11.1

Air drop issuesFirst, you keep changing where buttons are placed, and it really messes with muscle memory. Second, when drawing line or polygon, you used to be able to tap anywhere on the screen to make a segment. That was nice. Now you have to hit a little box. It seemed like an unneeded change. And finally, I’m not sure if it’s something you did or a setting on my phone from my organization, but now when you airdrop a map or layer you have to go digging in the files in your phone, instead of just opening it in Avenza. This is a huge time waster and confusing and hard to figure out. If it was you, please change it back..~Heartwing~Version: 5.3.3

You own the mapsA great app for hikers in which you permanently own the maps once you buy them but do not buy them through the apple store. Instead Buy them on the Avenza website just in case you do not find they were not what you expected or hoped for. The Apple Store will not refund your purchase but Avenza will. The only drawback to the Avenza app is that it does not automatically save your routes or waypoints. You must save/ export them as layers to your files then import them. Hopefully they will streamline that process in the future.ISal4Version: 3.6.2

Great map tool.I have been using for a few years I like how reliable it is and you never have wonder if your map will work offline. I purchase a lot of forest service maps which can get expensive but I like knowing I am using an official map. The black and white motor vehicle use maps are all free and work ok but I like to see topography so I choose to pay for the better maps. Keep up the good work. I’d wish it could be made easier to search for maps I want. Usually is search then click through the results trying to find right map..SnowbikeAbeVersion: 3.6.2

Natural Resource Management AssistantI work for a land management agency and frequently utilize Avenza to help track treatments of invasive species and during planning and implementation of prescribed fire. I also use it in similar fashion on my private property, and for private landowners with whom I’m working for with my other job (private sector). The two things I would love to see are real time GPS positioning of the entire burn team (individual members), and on a personal level - a GPS dog collar compatible with the app for real time positioning display as well. Love the app overall..CalebvarneyVersion: 5.1

Official Maps on your devicesAvenza offers a wide variety of maps from National Geographic and other sources that can be downloaded to your device and used to track your hikes on the various trails. Because the map is on your device and not online you don’t need an internet connection while in the field. On the other hand it would be nice to be able to share maps with tracks between devices by being able to store maps with tracks on line in your Avenza account while connected to the internet..PeteSCUVersion: 3.5.1

Perfect for public landsAbility to locate public land boundaries I have been unable to find anywhere else. Make sure you have the maps before you go. Should not have to tell anyone that but, it is a strange planet. Not very intuitive when it comes to searching maps in the map store. Takes some figuring out but worth the little time it will take to get your sea legs. Maps with specialty info such as land plats are available. Which is Awesme! Some maps are a bit spendy. Would have been five stars if not for the prices of certain maps. GPS is spot on and battery usage makes it usable all day..Farley38Version: 3.13

Great Capabilities but hard to find mapsI have to search for maps through the website because it is near to impossible to find what I want through the app. However, I love the capabilities of this little thing. Being able to place mark and open up points within google map (or vice versa). Also I LOVE the fact that it operates like a GPS when in the map area. You can follow your little blue dot while traveling through the forest. And it’s scary accurate. Loving this so far! Can’t wait to place mark all the beautiful spots in AZ that I explore..CopperpotsVersion: 3.4.1

Daffodil FlatsI lead a group of 11 senior women (including myself in that group) to Daffodil Flats, which we changed the name to Daffodil Steep. I had been there two years ago and followed this map. I encouraged the ladies to download the app and map at home and to practice using the Base Map. I wanted them to get use to reading a satellite map. This map helped me to inform my fellow hikers with info ahead of time as to what to expect and while on the trail as to how far we were from each waypoint. I recommend using Avenza Maps..BfhjcjVersion: 4.2.2

Pretty good appI use this app while flying. And it works great. I think it’s performance really depends on the quality of the map you add. My only real complaint and it is really not a complaint only a suggestion is that I cannot zoom in or out while wearing my flight gloves, like any other app I use while flying. Most other apps have added a plus or minus button that you can zoom in or out with using a stylus which is what I have to do when I fly. I would like to see a zoom plus or minus button add it to the map page.Edward LeachVersion: 3.3.1

Most valuable app I haveI volunteer for a small nonprofit museum and frequently hike and explore the old area we focus on. With Avenza, when I come across an area of interest, I drop a pin to reference later and have hundreds of pins currently saved. I have a lot of old aerial photos and it would be helpful in the future if Avenza had a way you could overlay a photo and rotate/scale it allowing the user to line up roads etc and use as a new overlay but still, Avenza is an amazing thing to have..Armyguy1995Version: 3.15.4

Forest Service MVUM mapsA little hard to find the specific USFS MVUM your looking for because government bureaucracies have zero creativity when it comes to map titles,but if your accustomed to using MVUM’s - then Avenza is the source for these free maps. I used them for the first time last summer on a dirt bike trip to Idaho. The GPS tool worked on my IPhone 6 just fine and it was very accurate. I carry a GPS and Spot, as well. But, I always went to Avenza on my phone first. 1’ve only scratched the surface of available features, but I have a friend who laid out the Black Hills KTM rally using it and it was a great tool..Great KatoomVersion: 3.4

Nice find!Thru the National Park website I found Avena and gave it a try. My family and I did some hiking in New Mexico. White Sands and Grindstone. These were my test try's. With no cell signal it worked perfectly for me. White Sands I purposely walked away from the parking area I was at and it showed me my direction and parking. At Grindstone it showed me all the trails. As we hiked our 8 miler it shows you in real time exactly where I was on the trail. Next in Oct I'll use it at the 5 Big NP's in Utah. Definitely this app is handy, love it!.MCBTxVersion: 3.14.1

Great Map!This app has many cool features. I love the “pin” feature. When we park our car at a trail I insert a pin exactly where the car is. If you turn on the “recording” feature you can track the route you have taken as well as how far you have gone and the speed you are hiking. To me, the main comfort is that you can never get lost with this app. However, my strong recommendation is that you bring an external battery and have it connected to your phone so you don’t run out of juice..Tinkerer101Version: 3.6.2

Hunting with AvenzaHave used your app to hunt in Montana, Colorado, Idaho and South Dakota. Love to see where I am and all the detail available. Will use this fall on another site in Montana to hunt birds and deer. Hunt with 2/3 other guys and we all use them. Wish you had system to follow them too as we hunt in a loose group and want to keep track of each other. Some difficulty with finding the maps. Need more practice but some times confusing if don,’t know exact name of area or there are numerous pins in same proximity. All that said, we are glad we found Avenza maps. Keep up the good work..I know this placeVersion: 3.6

Superior off-line mapping to all other appsPlanning a 4 day dirt road adventure in the Sierra Mountains National Forest. I first made routes, to be used off line, with apps like REVER and RIDEwithGPS, which all use Google based maps. I thought I’d done a great job, until I cross referenced my routes on Avenza, which uses a jpeg of the particular map you download, in my case a Nat. Forest map. I realized my route went through many closed trail gates!, so it was worthless. I created a a new route on Avenza avoiding closed gates. This app is essential for back country exploration..RubberbiscuitsVersion: 3.4.2

Outstanding Raster Map ApplicationSerious GPS users recognize that there are 2 types of mapping apps: raster and vector. They are not the same and suffice different purposes. I wanted to publish a map that our people could use for the Audubon Society Christmas Bird Count (CBC). This use case suggested the need of a raster application. Our folks also need an app that is free and easy to use. Preparing the CBC map on my GIS work station (QGIS) and exporting to Geo PDF for use in Avenza has proven easy and accurate for me. I look forward to serious field use this Christmas season. Avenza ‘just works’. The Avenza App Store is outstanding in that it offers both gratis public domain and paid resources. The app supports a variety of use cases, many of which are beyond the immediate need of the CBC but which are greatly appreciated. Thanks and keep up the good work..EdLewis2Version: 4.1.1

Love this programThis has been a great program when running the trails in our can-am utv. The only thing I wish it had the ability to do is change the pointer to something other than a dot. It gets very difficult to tell which way you are going sometimes. A pointer would be fantastic I would also love the ability to change the width of the track and also the color of the track..BBQ Guy SDVersion: 4.0.4

Great AppThis is a great app that allows you to track your location even without cell service. It allows you to name your tracks, add pictures, etc. The only downside is that, even though you have to create an account to use it, the data is saved on the phone and not online so if you switch phones and you’re not just restoring your old data, you lose everything. Other than that, this app is very user friendly and has great information and tracking!.Lovin' Food AgainVersion: 3.15.4

Best Map and Navigation App!!I have utilized many applications to track and search for all things outdoors. This app is by far my most favorite and most thought out app for any of your outdoor adventures. The best part is that there are so many amazing features within the app for free. The GPS tracking worked phenomenal and was even more accurate than other applications without cellular service. Plus, the paper maps are just as great and it is fun to be able to plot on the fun outdoor spots..Kira CorbettVersion: 3.7.2

Great app!I've been using this app for several years. I share a single account across all my mobile devices. Instead of needing to buy paper maps of things like National Geographic trail maps, I can buy them for the same price in this app, and have them gps enabled, traceable, and portable. My local open spaces org recently uploaded all their trail maps to the Avenza store -- and they are free to download! Also a big fan of the Redwood Hikes company trail maps. Great for pretty much everywhere in California that has redwoods and hiking trails...and cheaper to purchase here than buying the printed copies. I've tried pretty much every mapping and tracking program. If you want free maps like open source stuff, there are fine sources like Motion X. But if you want commercially available maps, I can't think of a better app in the App Store..Bedlam and drudgeryVersion: 3.2

You usually get what you pay for…. Not with Avenza, It’s free!I love this app for easy navigation while riding dirt bikes through the mountains. It’s very accurate and easy to use. The only challenge can be finding maps but it’s getting better all the time. Put the phone on airplane mode, give the app full location permission, start tracking and open it up when you wanna see how you’ve gotten yourself lost. Love it. Chrisjf250.Chrisjf250Version: 4.0.4

Minnewaska State Park Sam’s PointI had downloaded the free map of this NY state park. This was my first time using this app and did not know what to expect. But the app was intuitive enough to use and I was soon tracking my hike. Seeing exactly where I was at any point in time gave me enough confidence of not getting lost that I hiked few extra trails marked in this map. Few times that I did get lost I could get back on trail looking at my tracks on the map. Overall a great first experience of using the app..Arvind BVersion: 3.5.1

New deviceUpdate: Apologies to support, which was in fact responsive and helpful. The online support was inadequate, but humans came through. I now have the purchased maps again. While I simply never should have lost that data in the first place by upgrading my phone, the matter is resolved with reasonable efficiency. All purchased maps LOST. Wasted money and crap support. Shop elsewhere unless you’re willing to lose what you purchased when it’s time for a new phone..TheglandVersion: 4.0.4

One of the best appsThis may be the most useful app on my phone. I do a lot of hiking and camping off the grid in California, and this app has saved my bacon a number of times. You have access to hundreds of high quality maps, and as long as you download the map ahead of time, you don’t need cell service to access it and see where you are via the gps on your phone. Highly recommended..Mark777111Version: 3.14.1

LegitI thought these guys were frauds for charging for maps but there are many free ones as well. The GPS location is very accurate even off cell service. Also, the route measuring and location marking are helpful as well. Definitely good to have if you are going off the grid, even if you have a Garmin (I find it easier to navigate to points of interest on a smart phone)..Bwebs21Version: 5.3.3

Very nice app!!!! (But 2 things I suggest)When I go on trails, this is the go to app for me! I believe that this is one of the most amazing and most reliable apps that I have ever used as far as navigating trails without having the need for an internet connection. The only two things that I suggest is make the app compatible with Apple Watch and Apple CarPlay, I believe that would make the best offline map platform even better! 😁😁😁😁.Ian G. SullyVersion: 5.3.3

Best Navigation App EverThis app is amazing. You can get maps for just about anywhere you want to go, download them, and then when you are out hiking, driving, whatever and beyond cell phone service you will know exactly where on the map you are. A real life saver. I use it all the time and go places and on roads I would not have been completely comfortable with without knowing where I was and how to get back. Customer service is also awesome!.BBWeBeVersion: 3.5

Apple CarPlayI use Avenza app for work and play for the past 10 years, truly amazing app! I would give this app the 5th star if they will enable it to be used in apple carplay. Cmon subscribers let’s all keep pushing this until the Avenza app team hears our demands!!

Avenza map reviewThis is a great tool to use in the backcountry. It basically replaces all older devices like gps and any other mapping tool. I can make notes, drop pins, record tracks, and share them with others easily. Photos are geo-tagged and attached to the waypoints …. I could go on and on.

Recent decline in UI?Hey all! @ dev support. I’m experiencing a recent issue with Avenza. (Past 6 months or so) Every time I go to change the map view, the app doesn’t respond to my touch. I’ll need to do what ever I’m attempting to do, twice. I.e. change the zoom, move around my location, set a pin, calculate distance, etc. Another extremely common issue I’m having is that the gps is not locating me. I’ll have to close the app and reopen it to gather an accurate positioning (this may be more of a phone issue?) idk. But it never used to be a problem and now it occurs every time I open the app. Very disappointing :( I’ve used Avenza for years. I recommend it to everyone, especially with the addition of BRMBs. It’s completely replaced my Garmin! But given the recent issues, I’ll be keeping my eyes out for an alternative solution. If you have any suggestions on how to fix this, please let me know :). Happy to share more context as well to help solve the bug! Best.BuckfeaverVersion: 5.1.1

Avenza Maps: Offline Mapping Negative Reviews

Piece of crap.The only good thing above this app is that it’s free, but you get what you pay for. Ive been using it since the beginning, and every time they update their software it gets more difficult to use. Suppose for example you want download maps that you’ve used before, but aren’t on your device. This might happen because you had to delete the app due to corruption and start over, which I’ve had to do several times. There’s no way to tell it to download all maps not on the device. You have to scroll through a list of your maps and select the ones you want. But beware, if you happen to touch the wrong area while scrolling, you have go back to the top of the list and start scrolling again. Due to glitchy responsiveness it’s almost impossible to scroll far. This is just one of he crappy aspects of the app. I could write a thousand pages, but will stop here..Iu8ttdrtdxgchVersion: 4.2.2

Nice features, but horrible search engineDon’t bother with this app unless you plan to upload your own maps. If you do, the PDF tracking features are great, and transferring a GeoPDF from e-mail just works — no trouble, no fuss. Unfortunately, the built-in map store is all but unusable. I’m not exaggerating when I say that it has *the* worst search engine I’ve ever seen. It’s extremely inaccurate. It has no apparent way to refine search terms (except a few built-in options, which aren’t much use given the rest). It doesn’t recognize quotation marks. There’s no way to exclude terms. I literally cannot find specific US national forest maps by searching the name of the forest — most of the time, they simply aren’t in the results. It’s incredibly frustrating to have such a potentially awesome app made unusable by search alone. Please, devs, *fix* it!.PhotosyntheticVersion: 3.5.1

Unusable topographic mapsI bought the app for topographical maps. I downloaded a set of maps around Placerville, CA. At least one failed to download due to errors. I tried multiple times without success. My query for assistance, which included all the info they requested went unanswered. The maps I downloaded were all the smallest scale, a few miles on a side. There were no large scale maps as a reference, nor any way to link them to any other map to know the area any of these maps referenced. Just a big empty grid like a piece of graph paper. They were almost totally useless. The only good feature was I could hit a link that popped up the map of the immediate area I was in. Very nice feature but not of any real value in how I wanted to use them. I would take my money back in a heartbeat!.Fenceme2Version: 3.10

Very poor quality topo mapsUnlike many negative reviews mine has nothing to do with being upset about Avenza moving to a pay per map model. That's fine to me. I'm happy to pay a few dollars for a useful tool. What upsets me is that I have paid money for a worthless map. What is described as "the finest available" map is actually a low resolution image that is quite useless. Zooming into the map reveals the low quality image. The topo elevations are 100% illegible, as are most road names. Google maps provides more detail and features than this map did, and that's a free. And since google has added a feature to download portions of a map for offline use, I used G maps more than the Avenza maps. Again, happy to pay money when it is worth it. This was not worth it..RobbyJonesVersion: 3.2

Hardly worth itI got this app for the free VA State Park maps. I guess you get what you pay for- the information on hiking trails is incomplete and rudimentary and the maps are low information content. However the app itself gets downgraded for the braindead download interface. If anything happens during a download ( which can take a while especially when you are away from fast wifi) the download simply stops and/or starts all over again. Even if the iPhone screen turns off! I spent the better part of an hour with repeated attempts and finally succeeded by keeping the iphone screen on without doing anything else that would have immediately cancelled the download again.ZappastjunVersion: 3.13

Unannounced TOS/Subscription ChangesIt appears you have changed the licensing for the Plus tier so it no longer includes unlimited imports but is instead restricted to 20. This is not reflected anywhere on your website that I can see. It is also not reflected in the app description on the Apple App Store. My existing Plus subscription is now labeled as "Avenza Maps Plus (Legacy)". The new basemap satellite layer feature available to Plus subs listed in the 5.3 app update is not available to me unless I "convert" my legacy license to the new one with the new import restrictions. This kind of shady behavior will lead me to stop using and paying for this app. Can you provide a justification for this change, the reason it is not documented anywhere, and why it was not communicated to existing customers before implementation? ** I did attempt to post this in the ‘Community -> Maps Q&A’ on the website first, but after 11 days the post has still not been “approved” and isn’t visible to anyone, nor has there been a response. **.DmcauliffeVersion: 5.3

Purchased maps disappearedMaps I purchased last summer have disappeared and are no longer available on the map store. Buyer beware. I’ll be pursuing a refund..EmdubyaVersion: 3.9

Too expensive and too limiting in free versionThree maps but even importing the second map brings up a warning that the map is inactive. First I had to register before I could even try the app. A demo map counts as one of the three. Importing a second map brought up the warning that it is inactive. While PDF maps seem to hold some promise for easy adoption, Avenza’s approach makes it a poor choice for even recreational use. It would be better to offer a month trial first..Adc3452Version: 3.9.1

Poor tech supportI purchased and downloaded the plus so I could used a friends hunting map he created and when I reached out to support to help with an issue they wanted me to pay for the pro version. Other people can easily download the map and for some reason it won’t upload into Avenza. Probably an easy fix in my settings that I’m missing but the tech support won’t help me..Zzzzs 101Version: 3.7.3

Bring back Version 3.15I am sorry but I am going to be blunt. I have been using Avenza for work for 6 years. In my opinion there has been a constant decline in the useability of this app. The app has become jumpy and unpredictable when scrolling over terrain, and this is especially bad when maps are kept in a collection to allow zooming between layers. This problem is hard to overcome as the app jumps and changes with a sensitivity to great to overcome. I am desperate for the later version before you updated your logo, version 3.15. I delayed updating for many years after seeing the new update on my friends devices perform poorly. I did finally cave and updated but it has been an extreme regret for a year now. Please can you make the old version available again..D-Dogg M' DogVersion: 5.3.3

Update removes functionality - don’t update!The new update has made it a lot harder for my remote work team to share maps between people and teams. We used to rely on airdrop, it was very convenient. Now we can’t. I don’t know why that toyed with - it was great. Please fix this, Avenza team..Upset tree planterVersion: 5.3.3

The app still does not support split view on iPadAfter all this time Avenza still does not support split view functionality on iPad. A major shortcoming as, for example, you can't view a guide and Avenza map side by side when on a road trip, overlanding or planning a trip at home. It is such a basic feature which most other apps have had for years..Santoka3Version: 5.3.3

Long time user not happy anymoreThere is something wrong with the new Avenza. I miss tap anywhere to add point when measuring distance, location is sometimes off, track recording sometimes stops unexpectedly, the app freezes, maps don’t load and I need to restart the app. Few of my coworkers also complained about location issues. It was my favourite navigation, not it’s just frustrating..Cow toolsVersion: 5.2

Terrible rip offThought I’d be downloading something as good as the Maps2Go app that was already awesome 10 years ago. Instead this is garbage.

Nice app but HELPI couldn’t figure out how to use the app. Bought two maps of an area but then the area I was looking for was not within the boundaries of either. Now I have two maps that are useless. Even with those two maps, can’t figure out how to use them. I’ll need to play a lot more with the app but bottom line is it is not user friendly. Not for me anyway..YaremchlVersion: 5.0.1
