In Kalymnos and bought the physical guide. Downloaded the app but when trying to redeem with the code under the scratch panel it just says "oops something went wrong! Review updated to 4 stars. Need to create an account before redeeming a code - though perhaps this should be more obvious. Once done though, and having downloaded the crags you want it seems to work well.

Lots of bugs (doesn't start when opening the app, some topos and approaches don't show, sometimes downloaded content can't load). Also, for filifor topos, the additional route information (such as additional protection information) is missing. I appreciate that there is lots of content for different areas of the Europe which would justify the subscription fee but it would be nice to get the basic things sorted!

Did you test it before release? Creating an account worked kind of, but the redeeming a Topo code was met with a server error. After trying many times it finally worked. But when I clicked on the topo it just displayed another error. After killing the app and restarting it multiple times it finally worked. but there was only one crag out of the 19 in the book. And zero photo nothing just a list of routes. Finally vertical life subscribed me to their newsletter, which is illegal under GDPR.
