## Review summary

Users appreciate OpenRunner for its ability to create and record cycling and hiking routes with beautiful landscapes, offering good functionality for outdoor activities and route planning. However, multiple users report significant app stability issues such as frequent crashes, especially related to offline map downloads. Additionally, exporting or saving GPX routes has become problematic after updates, and editing features are buggy. The app also annoys some users by opening random files by default, and subscription limitations restrict offline map sizes, reducing its usefulness for extended trips.

### Pros

- Good for creating and planning personal trips or routes.
- Efficient at recording routes during hikes or cycling.
- Offers beautiful and challenging training courses with nice landscapes and low traffic.
- Useful tool for offline map usage (when it works).
- Free to use and practical for route creation anywhere.

### Cons

- App crashes frequently, especially after downloading offline maps, causing loss of data.
- Issues saving and exporting GPX routes after updates, limiting sharing capabilities.
- Editing features are buggy, with freezing screens preventing users from saving route names.
- Default opening of random mobile files by the app is annoying.
- Offline map download limitations due to subscription size constraints, making large downloads impossible.
