2024-12-01 | Beau Fabry | Paid the subscription but app constantly "forgets" that I have done so. If you're going to put up a paywall best make sure the code for the gate keys isn't jank | |
2024-10-23 | Patrick Rauter | Unfortunately this app is not usable because it is extremely laggy and freezes when trying to opening a crag. A performance upgrade could make this app a very good one | |
2024-10-22 | Samuel Fong | The app is very unresponsive to use. Please fix it. Thanks | |
2024-06-06 | Sondra S | a LOT of bugs need fixing. Ticks, logbook history are not loaded into app. When you open the guides for an area and click on the map icon, the app crashes. This could be so good an useful and I WANT to pay for premium, but not until all the problems are fixed. It's really frustrating to use and not really usable as is. | |
2024-04-03 | Julie Sommereijns | Disclaimer.: I use the free version and am an avid user of the Crag website. For me, this app is only good for locating crags(only reason it got 2 stars). Cannot tick your routes... *eye roll* Cannot mark favorites. Cannot make a wishlist. Can only download topos with the premium version and you cannot do screenshots, which means the app is useless in remote areas with no signal. If you use the 'go back' arrow, the app logs you out. Let's not talk about personal profiles. Buy paper topos. | |
2023-11-15 | andrea maida | Totally useless (used in my phone and in other 3 of my friends, different brand, different connection, wifi or not). The map is ok (used in Mallorca) and is useful. The problem is this: full of bugs and very slow. When u select a crag, you have to wait about one minute (or more) before it's open. Doesn't care how much you press on the icon or if you swipe left or right. Nothing happen. Results? Use the siteweb and delete this app. | |
2023-03-14 | Davide Lancini | Good idea but missing a lot of features that the website has. Very slow loading time, no caching of previously watched pages. | |
2023-03-12 | johann köhler | It's a great idea, but the app is just not usable. Even on a flagship phone with definitely more than enough power... The app is super laggy and incredibly slow to a point where using it just doesn't make sense. I would love to see the app to get past this development stage and would definitely use it once it works properly. | |
2023-01-30 | Daire | Doesn't let you log ascents or "tick" climbs, opens TheCrag in a browser to show route information, so not usable offline. Great vision but lacking basic features | |
2022-12-12 | Vaughan Harvey | No longer able to login to topoguru using my crag credentials. Confirmed the crag login works, so this is a topo guru issue. By the other comments, I'm not alone in having this issue. When it was working previous, I'd be logged out of the app every time it was closed. This was super frustrating when you just wanted to quickly check some info. |
