    Appears they went from locking your data in the app (no GPX export) to not even letting you access your past tracks without signing up and handing over your data to them. I'm personally done with this bait-n-switch app and I'll make sure to steer clear of anything the aptly named Outside is involved in. Update: the developer gave the unhelpful suggestion to contact support if I had trouble logging in. I'm hoping that's just them not really reading the review and not indicating that the app has already uploaded my tracks to them, with or without consent. This is an absolute dumpster fire.

    The past few hikes have only recorded the first .60 miles of a 5+ mile hike. Bug?

    Do you offer a lifetime buy option?
  • Butchered Account-Data Sync Lost Data

    After many years of using Gaia, I can no longer recommend this product. I’ve lost all my data that I’ve collected over them many years after the app merged with Outside and Trailforks. The poor process of merging the accounts, data sync, or even managing to subscription made this a no thank you for me. There’s lots of competition that is making equal or better product without the headaches.
  • Now ya gotta pay to save a route?!

    I get that you need money to run such an app, but a heads up would have been appreciated. The app is not quite good enough for me to throw money at a subscription (I have 25 years GIS experience since Arc 3.2), actually, the more connected things have gotten the less functional it all seems. Time to dust off an old Garmin if you want money for this app. Eats my phone battery and have been considering the switch back anyhow lately, so thanks for a good reason to do so.
  • Inaccurate Property Boundaries

    I have been using OnX for the past few years, but the map layouts and off-line downloading options are lacking. I like this app for its more intuitive map, layouts, and the fact that you can download a very large area for off-line use. However, I have decided this is a no go for me because it is marking pockets of private property in for service as for service. This is super important because generally when there is a small piece of private property in forest service the access on the road is gated off. This makes Gaia a no go for me.
  • Constant Crashes & Poor Value for the Money

    I am extremely disappointed. This app constantly crashes and freezes, making it completely unreliable. When you’re miles into a backcountry trail on a motorcycle, you need a map that works; instead, I’m left staring at a frozen screen. I’ve sent screenshots and videos to support for months, but there have been zero fixes. To make matters worse, this is now $20/year more expensive than onX Offroad and REVER. I expected premium performance for a premium price, but I’m getting a broken product and ignored feedback. I can’t recommend this for riders until the stability issues are fixed.
  • Very good for Kuwait & GCC deserts

    We need Kuwait cell companies coverage to be added on the map overlays.

  • Missing Key Features

    Given that every other mapping app that is available has 3D maps, this is a huge disappointment. Only reason to get this app is to use the handful of unique maps available (nat geo maps). Otherwise this app is hard to use, is missing major features, and has cheaper (and better) competitors through OnX
