User Reviews

Users praise swisstopo for its detailed Swiss topographical maps, accurate hiking time estimates, strong route planning, and offline capabilities with privacy focus. However, multiple users report frequent crashes, unreliable offline maps, high battery usage, and missing essential features like easy waypoint editing and scale display. Interface usability issues also detract from the experience, particularly in demanding outdoor conditions. Overall, while the app excels in map quality and core hiking functions, stability and usability improvements are needed.

Pros

Highly detailed and readable maps, considered the best topographical maps of Switzerland.
Accurate time estimates and elevation gain/loss overview during hikes.
Effective route planning and tracking with features like snapping to paths, route dragging, and updating estimated times as you progress.
Offline maps availability and no ads, no tracking, focusing on functionality and user privacy.
User-friendly interface with improvements over predecessor apps and useful tour and routing features.

Cons

Frequent app crashes, especially during route editing, deleting saved tours, and map navigation.
Unreliable offline map functionality, including difficulties downloading maps, loading issues, and freezing downloads.
High battery consumption and overheating reported on some devices, making field usage problematic.
Missing or inconvenient features such as lack of scale display, inability to insert or delete waypoints easily, and awkward routing functionality.
App interface issues like difficult one-handed use, convoluted menus, and unintentional zoom switches that affect usability in the field.

Recent reviews

Best maps in world. The best readable and the most detailed rendering at the same time. Powerful layers like ski routes or gradients.

Recently the app became somewhat unstable, crashes from time to time when navigating and crashes almost every single time when you want to delete a saved tour. If this issue would be fixed it's definitely 5 stars again. Great App for hiking! We mainly use SwissTopo for navigation in the mountains.
