Review summary

Users appreciate the app's valuable mapping features, active community, and helpful resources for overlanding and camping. However, multiple reviews highlight significant issues including frequent crashes, UI freezes, subscription restrictions limiting core functions, and privacy concerns over persistent location access requests. Problems with account setup and login also frustrate users, despite ongoing developer efforts to address bugs. Overall, the app shows promise with good features and community engagement but needs stability improvements and clearer subscription benefits to fully satisfy users.

Pros

Provides valuable maps and information for overlanding and camping enthusiasts.
Includes a community forum with useful tips, advice, and user interaction.
Active development team that responds to user feedback and pushes regular updates.
Features like off-roadside assistance SOS and night mode enhance usability and safety.
Useful for planning overlanding trips with details such as trail systems, difficulty, and resources like gas and waste dump sites.

Cons

App frequently crashes, especially when replying to comments or during login/sign-up processes.
User interface problems, including freezing, lagging, and issues with the keyboard and menus.
Subscription model restricts major app functions like map access, causing frustration among users.
App repeatedly prompts for location access even after being denied, causing privacy concerns.
Troubles with account management: password resets sometimes create guest membership and sign-up/login glitches.

2024-05-13	Sp*****	The man I seen this app and I downloaded it and logged in I knew I was going to be a member. I was kind of skeptical because of all the other off-road apps and and camping apps. But once I log into this one I know this is the one. Great job from the developers to the beta testers and all the people of the community in the app. Thank you for everyone's participation. The feature of the Off-roadside assistance SOS app is dope.

2024-04-07	ju*****	8⭐ this app just saved my rear end My trip to Little Rock was a little bit more expensive than I thought and needed a scenic place to stay for free I definitely would recommend this if you're over landing and need to know more about the trail system and difficulty

2024-03-06	Lo*****	It's completely useless. The menu top right crashes every time you try to access settings. Poor R&D. There is no point in the free version. Every effort it made to get you to pay up. You guys are a money grab. Google Earth is hopeless but better than this.

2023-05-22	Tr*****	Right now, I have to give one star even though I love the app. Got a new device and went to log in, and can't I tried to reset my password, and it set me up with a guest membership! Got the email to reset, but it leads me to the guest membership. WtW!

2023-05-05	Br*****	I've had the app for about a week. During that time, I've mostly just played around on it, getting used to the layout. So far, I'm a fan. My one star rating comes from this...the app keeps crashing when I go to reply to a comment on my post. I'll work on typing my reply for about 30 to 40 seconds. Then, the typing will get extremely laggy. Finally, the app will crash. I tried to reply to the comment multiple times and every time, the app crashes.

2023-02-26	Jo*****	Update: latest updates do not fix crashes. Developers- I realize you asked for screenshot of crash but it's literally the splash screen for 2 seconds and then nothing. Not planning to renew subscription for something that doesn't work.. Original review: Like the app but keeps crashing since the last update

2022-11-20	ki*****	I installed your app for the reason to find more info on overlanding and places to go, but when I was trying to open links from emails not related to your this app it would open the app. So I uninstalled it.

2022-10-05	Je*****	Not a good feeling about this app... After trying to sign up, the app froze on the splash screen. Do I try signing up again? It asks(demands) that it uses your location when not using the app every time you open it, even after saying no. It defaults to want to access every person thing on your phone at all times including all your pictures, health/wellness app(not sure why it ever needs that) and location(after saying no previously). Not okay considering they share your info with 3rd parties

2022-10-03	Ja*****	Update: The development team reached out. Although the email got lost in my promotions folder thanks Google. I went back this morning to try again and I was able to sign up and get into the app. Thank you devs. Unable to sign up for an account through the app. Freeze on screen with logo after sign up page. No status of what it is trying to do. I force close and open it back up try to sign in. It tells me my account is invalid. Try the password reset and it says no account exist with that email.

2022-09-17	Da*****	Awesome app! Has maps, forum for great overlanding, camping and rig tips and tricks and a feature to connect with others that have similar interests. It is in early stages, but when issues are reported, the OB1 team are working hard to regularly fix and update the app so that the community gets a great, user friendly app. It is useable for free, but if you get an annual subscription, you get many more features and functions. Give it a try. You won't regret it.
