I'm another one of the users of ViewRanger, who were transferred to OA. I tried the app on several walks. Conclusion: I'll pass. The battery drain on the phone is huge, even without Buddy beacon on. I wished that there was a function in OA that would only activate GPS when you request a position update, as was possible in VR, where you could just take a quick look on the route without recording the track. Will use Memory Map from now on, albeit more expensive. I need a reliable tool, no toy.

looks good, but the user experience isn't too great. After installation, you can enter two way points, but then you have to sign up. After sign up, the app promises you can use it without immediate activation, but if you choose this, your waypoints are forgotten. then the cycle stays anew. you also can find routes on the web version that you can't find in the app. downloading therm in the mobile browser doesn't allow you to import them into the app. uninstalling right away.

Hello Johannes, is it possible that the tour which you mean is a premium tour? They only show up on the website but not in the app because they require payment which is only possible on the website. Your Outdooractive Team

As others mentioned as well, tracking stops all the time, if I open the app I get a message that recording stopped unexpectedly, this is very annoying. I use a S23, the app is excluded from any battery optimization, deep sleep etc. The only reason for this has to be a bug in the app. This happens no matter whether I'm navigating at the same time, or more often if I just track a hike. Some time ago this was working great :/ paid a lot for the app. will update the review once the app works again.
