  • Untrustworthy maps - to the point of potentially lethal consequences

    Today I found myself halfway down a wet, steep landslide of loose gravel, my only traction a thin rope, which was at risk of dislodging a log higher up. Gaia had said this would be a trail. Thank god that over that ~100 foot stretch the log didn’t dislodge, I didn’t slip, the rope didn’t break, the gravel under my feet didn’t give way entirely… because I was in foggy, mountainous terrain - no one was going to be able to helivac me out. Oh yeah and I had already descended 1,500 feet into this trail, so turning back was a grim prospect. I have no one but myself to blame for trusting Gaia to route me through my hike today, of course. I just hope you don’t make the same mistake. If I were older or less able it could’ve had genuinely lethal consequences. Gaia, if you read this, this was near Rifugio Bolzano outside of Tiers. The trail had been basically destroyed in a landslide. I’m going back to Strava where I can crowdsource what’s actually doable, this was super dangerous today.

    Been a user for 10 years now, have done hundreds of hikes with this app but I’m moving on. Just can’t take the high prices, app crashes and bugs that never get fixed. Maps that get corrupted and need to be redownloaded, no NatGeo maps and now terrible battery usage. Wish they had never sold to Outside Magazine.

    Outside has ruined this app. Interface is garbage.

  • Disaster merge with Outside

    Finally cancelled my Gaia Gps subscription because it the only way to cancel my “free” account on Trailforks and useless Outside + account. The merge for single use app users was a disaster. Constantly being pushed into Outside + ads and the website I couldn’t get out of got tiresome. I wish they would have stayed stand alone.

  • Release notes are great

    Not only do they do system updates all the time, if you actually read the release notes they’re hilarious! Very Moosejaw vibes 😂

    Has been going down hill / feature stagnant for years. When my subscription is done I will be looking for something else.

  • App getting worse

    I’ve been a Gaia GPS premium subscriber for 6 years now, but probably won’t be when my subscription expires next. NatGeo trail maps are my go to map for trip planning, hiking, and backpacking in the mountains. Having tried the Gaia Hike replacement, it’s just no where near as good as NatGeo has been for this. While the new maps look pretty, they just aren’t detailed enough for finding specific camp sites, identifying footbridges on trails, or getting at a glance distance markers. In years past I have recommended Gaia to friends and would have given it 5 stars, but loosing NatGeo is a huge loss. This in addition to doubling the price of Gaia premium in the last year and I’m left wondering what I’m even paying for anymore. I’ll probably look at switching over to Avenza moving forward if NatGeo doesn’t come back. 🙁

  • Good, but fix the bugs

    A good app with lots of features and blazingly fast compared with the android version. But they have a problem with introducing bugs and not fixing them causing a general decline in quality. They also are making the app more unpleasant to use (I.e. naming tracks Monday Morning Activity, forced login, social media integration).

  • Terrible since bought by Outside

    Don’t bother turning off notifications, they’ll turn them back on for you and send more spam emails. And make all your tracks public! Hiking your own property around your house? Enjoy your new friends! ZERO STARS!

  • Used to be the best, Outside ruined it

    Forced sign-in and forced tracking app. Can’t even login after repeated attempts, password resets, etc. Gaia was the best. Sold out, ruined by Outside. So sad. Avoid.
