Poor app. Rapidly drains the battery and keeps crashing. Needs a radical redesign.

Good overall, but.. You can't download or export ot whatever you want to call it a route you just drew.. I can't think of a situation where I would pull my phone out to follow a tour. Everyone around me uses a Garmin or other device for that. Please just let us save what we just planned. Thanks for your answer. If I have to log in to the website I can forego the app completely.. I can plan and export on the Topo app, why not with this? Several months later, free topo app is still better..

I love the app, especially now that I can draw maps! I have one issue, though: it would be great if I could change the language from the system default.
