Gaia GPS: Mobile Trail Maps - Latest Quality Issues
Android
May 13, 2024
Been a paying subscriber since 2019. The app was perfect, cost $20/ year and had everything needed. Since being purchased by outside magazine the price has tripled with no features added that are of any use to a backpacker. They updated the UI and made it worse. These people are smoking crack if they think this app is worth $60/ year.

They sold my email address to spammers
I used a unique email address when signing up for this app. Now I'm getting spam emails to that address. This company is selling my data without my permission.

Does not work on iPad
Buggy on iPad. When you search for something , for example, usually there is no way to display what you searched for (point, trail, etc.) on the main map.

Newest update kills battery life
It appears that the newest update will drain phone battery extraordinarily quickly. I am running it in the same way I have for years and it is not only noticeable but dangerous. I almost lost all battery battery on a relatively short (9mile, 6 hour hike). It was the only app I had open and running. I haven't had an issue in airplane mode or low battery setting but I need to be able to use this app without airplane or low battery mode, as I have for the past few years.

I am gonna miss this app a lot
I have been a subscriber for a while now. I love the app and the web version, I love the features. However, the price increase is waaaaaaay too steep and you guys have priced me out of being a subscriber. I do not need all of the various maps for skiing and such. A different approach that might keep subscribers might be to have a more catered subscription tier system such as maps for hikers/ backpackers, overlanders, skiers, etc. offer them at more reasonable prices. I just cannot justify the price anymore, as much as I don't like Garmin's maps, it looks like I'll be using them as my primary instead.

Great app, too expensive for repeat customers
I absolutely love the app, am an avid enduro dirt bike rider and record everything, label all my tracks, etc. Seems like an ok price for one year, but I'm on my 4th year and with the price increases, I'll be into this app for 1000$ before I know it. At this point I'm wondering if I should just get a different device. To be fair it was a lot of money before the price increase also. Prices for repeat customers should be much lower to keep their business

Decent app, but just received an email that the annual cost will inexplicably be going up by 50%. My cost will be going to zero.
