## Review summary

Users praise Just Draw It for being easy to use and effective at plotting routes, with strong GPX import/export support and useful off-road flexibility that even some prefer to Strava. However, recurring concerns include subscription and billing issues, reliability problems (crashes during loading, maps not loading), core drawing problems (routes not snapping to roads or not saving), and ad interruptions that disrupt the workflow.

### Pros

- Easy to use and intuitive for plotting routes.
- Great for planning walking/biking routes; supports off-road drawing and flexible routing.
- GPX import/export support (open GPX files easily and export routes for other apps).
- Some users find it better than Strava for their needs.
- Premium features are valued by some and considered reasonably priced.

### Cons

- Subscription and billing issues are the most recurring complaints (lifetime upgrades removed; upgrading to annual; VIP not recognized; ad-supported behavior reappears).
- App instability: crashes during loading, maps failing to load, and other reliability problems.
- Core drawing problems: routes sometimes fail to snap to roads or cannot be drawn or saved properly.
- Ads and prompts disrupt usage (buffering ads, paid users still seeing ads, subscription popups).
