Review summary

Users praise Komoot for strong planning and reliable navigation, especially for cycling, but repeatedly cite key downsides: heavy battery consumption, a shift to a subscription model with pervasive upsell prompts, and reduced offline map functionality. Additional recurring issues include occasional ride-recording problems and UI changes that hinder access to certain features. Overall, the app remains a capable planner/navigator, but battery, offline access, and paywall frustrations are the most common shared concerns.

Pros

Comprehensive route planning and GPS navigation across multiple activities
User-friendly and intuitive for planning trips
Strong bike/cycling navigation with easy planning tools and cross-app compatibility
All-in-one ride planner and management tool that works well with other apps

Cons

Severe battery drain during use (e.g., rapid drain during rides)
Premium subscription prompts/ads and full-screen upsell overlays, with features locked behind a paywall
Offline maps functionality diminished or removed after updates, reducing offline usability
Reliability issues such as rides not recording or GPS drops during use
UI/layout changes and prompts that complicate accessing features like altitude profiles or route adjustments

2026-08-16	An*****	I don't know what's all the fuss about this app, the UI is cluttered with useless stuff and the important stuff is hard to find and requires tons of clicks to reach. moreover, it forces you to save every single time you navigate (why would i want that??) and it's not a simple click to save, you have 4 screens you have to go through, making quick navigate on/off loops impractical.

2026-08-16	Vl*****	why do I need to create an account? I want to cycle not another social media app! overlooking that I was unable to find the map for the recreational route I wanted to take and it requires a subscription to upload a .gpx map no thank you

2026-08-15	Le*****	Paid a lot for the world pack and still get very regular full screen popups advertising their premium subscription. Completely unacceptable behavior towards paying customers. The routing algorithms are quite decent.

2026-08-15	Pe*****	Paid for the app, still getting ads. Also, it was not worth paying for the app in the first place. Don't!

2026-08-15	An*****	The only reason I used this app over Strava was because it was free to plan a route. Now that this is no longer the case, there is no reason to use this app anymore
