Positive review Life saver by anonym
The only one I found the can use offline maps for free. You know you are going to somewhere where there is no signal. If you cannot use offline maps for free, it's a totally non-free app. This one works perfectly, offline map with GPS location (works perfect in airplane mode). What else do you expect? 5/5
Positive review Can't work without it. by anonym
As a member of a SAR team I find Viewranger invaluable. Track recording and buddy beacon allow us to check we have fully covered search areas. I have not found any issues with battery life either. 5/5
Positive review More icons please by anonym
Need more icons and the ability to set buddy's icon to their profile picture. 4/5
Positive review Excellent mapping and features. Good value as well by anonym
Good value mapping and works well with paper maps confirming your position . Nice features as well. 5/5
Positive review Awesome app by anonym
Excellent app for tracking where you are and for peace of mind of others with the Buddy system built in. Accurate to be able take bearings from but I will always be carrying a map and compass as battery life was getting extremely low on a 9 hour hike. Overall, really happy with how this works, have already recommended to others. 5/5
Positive review Samsung Galaxy Note 3 User by anonym
This is my favorite App. I like many features such as the real-time buddy beacon, many free and premium overlay maps, programmable icon (for altitude, etc), pay as you go map tiles, sync to online web account, track/route conversions, and many more features! The App Dev team also responds very quickly to questions & suggestions and are always adding new features! ? 5/5
Positive review One of the top map apps available for walking. by anonym
I've only downloaded this app for 5 minutes and I am just so incredibly impressed! It not only is one of the best map apps available, it IS the best available. A massive well done to the developers for this well thought out app. Its largly easy to use, but I'm often getting a little lost in finding my way around the map types and tools. I love the choice of maps and my favourite one shows all the national cycle routes and most major trails and routes. I like how easily download os maps for maximum details in tiles and the gps works fine for me on this too. Unfortunately, I don't have any excuses anymore to get myself lost! TO NOTE, to buy credits for the os map downloads, it works out slightly dearer with the bigger packages. 5/5
Positive review Great App by anonym
Use it on my Android phone for all my outdoor hill and fell walks. Purchase and downloading of map tiles and routes straight forward. Storage a of planned routes tracks easy enough to manage. Some of the settings need careful consideration before deciding which ones to use but the guidance and help line proved effective when needed whilst setting the app up. Give this app a try if you are contemplating a GPS. 5/5

Very nice! Best hiking app I could find. Navigation is so easy I am even going to buy an android wear smart watch just to use with this app. Can highly recommend. 5/5
Positive review The best by anonym
Been using for a while now and never let me down 5/5
Positive review Great App by anonym
I have been using Viewfinder for over a year now and I have found it invaluable. Easy to plan routes and navigate them. 5/5
Positive review Great improvements in latest version by anonym
I've tried lots of walk/tracking apps and settled on ViewRanger. The new Android Wear app is much improved - and the ambient mode display is finally here! 4/5
Positive review Great map app! by anonym
When you need a detailed map when you don't have a good data connection, this is the app to have! 5/5
Negative review by anonym
Great content, awful app. You can't see where the route is without buying/downloading.. 2/5
Positive review Best of the best! by anonym
Great app, love it, used every week for planning, hiking, journeys. Even use it to follow coach trips. 5/5
Positive review An essential tool in the outdoors by anonym
Had Viewranger for years. It has been with me up about 100 Munro's. Very reliable. I carry map and compass as a back up all the time but I have never had to use them! Always carry a power supply battery with me as it can get hungry for power like any GPS app. Anker back up's are always my favourite. Recommended. 5/5
Positive review A must for hikers by anonym
Excellent app for hikers with many useful features and a friendly interface. Select an area and it can display tracks proposed by third users: love it! Very good too for well prepared (and connected) hikers who can buy only the useful parts of IGN maps and then navigate with only the GPS. With a bigger community and more tracks ideas, it would be perfect. 5/5
Positive review View Ranger by anonym
Love it, I use it to hunt and mark spots in the woods that I can find in the dark. I can save maps that I can use in the woods where I have no data service (offline) 4/5
Positive review Still learning the app by anonym
Used twice now on multi day hikes. I like it alot the more I figure it out. 4/5
Positive review Terrific app. by anonym
Downloaded ViewRanger to help us map the route for a future Pennine Way hike. Getting UK Ordinance Survey maps was a breeze and the clincher for us using this app. Easy and fun to use; the tracking option works brilliantly. Even though I'm an old map and compass guy this app will definitely be a great help when stuck in the mist and fog on the moors! 5/5
Positive review Best free navigation mapping by anonym
All round great app plotting could be better but still good would be handy if it tracked how fast you are walking when tracker is on but still good 5/5
Positive review Best App for Hillwalking by anonym
I do a lot of Hillwalking in the Scottish Highlands and always use this app to help me with my navigation along with a map and compass. When the mist comes down and visibility is virtually nil it's reassuring to see the red circle on the map and the arrow pointing in the direction of travel. This has kept me on the right path many a time. I normally download gps points for routes from walkhighland.co.uk and they synq quickly and hassle free with Viewranger 5/5

Neutral review by anonym
The big problem I have with it,is my iPhone battery runs out in a couple of hours,when I track myself 3/5
Positive review Excellent maps now much improved sat. aquisition by anonym
I'm a cartographile so I love both the UK o/s maps & NZ maps I have access to. The app is now much more battery use efficient and on the current (Motorola Moto4) phone I haven't had a single battery issue, despite some lengthy rides of 8 hours+. 5/5
Positive review App with potential by anonym
This was the first app for hiking that I used but it was too complicated UI/UX then I search whole market to find something better but without success. Then I returned to this one. It's basically the best one if you take a look on others, but there is too much things to improve, especially UI, it needs to be much easier for the end user. Also big plus for Android wear support. 4/5
