## Review summary

GPS Track Viewer is praised for supporting various map formats, track color customization, and an ad-free experience, making route viewing straightforward. However, multiple users report a non-intuitive user interface, missing waypoint details on KMZ files, lack of offline map capabilities, occasional crashes, and difficulty with subscription management. These issues affect overall usability despite its useful features.

- Good for quickly viewing routes and waypoints visually
- Loads KML files as expected and can zoom to selected waypoints

### Cons

- User interface is not very user-friendly and can be difficult to navigate
- Issues with displaying pins and descriptions on KMZ files, causing missing waypoint information
- Limited functionality such as absence of offline map support and inability to stay on screen
- Some users experienced app crashes and force closures
- Difficult or confusing process for unsubscribing or managing files directly within the app
