## Review summary

SwitzerlandMobility app is praised for its detailed and reliable outdoor maps, user-friendly interface, and valuable features for planning and drawing routes. The plus subscription adds offline access and customization options. However, users repeatedly report issues with battery consumption and app crashes, poor offline map management, limited ability to export and share routes, inflexible language settings, and UI/UX shortcomings. Despite some recent improvements, these drawbacks impact the overall user experience during outdoor activities.

### Pros

- Excellent and reliable detailed maps for outdoor tours and activities in Switzerland.
- The app is intuitive to navigate and useful for planning hikes, cycling tours, and other outdoor sports.
- Plus subscription allows designing custom tours and offline map usage, enhancing the experience.
- Ad-free experience making it pleasant to use without distractions.
- Regular updates improving certain features like route drawing and map resolution.

### Cons

- App is poorly optimized causing excessive battery drain and device heating during use.
- Offline map functionality is problematic, including slow downloads, cache disappearing when offline, and restrictions on map saving size and coverage.
- Lack of certain important features such as exporting or sharing created routes directly from the app, requiring use of website instead.
- Language settings are locked to the system default without option to change, despite Switzerland's multiple official languages.
- User interface and usability issues including confusing navigation, lost favorite routes after updates, and disruptive UI elements.
