Review summary

BigfootMap is praised for its rich sightings database with historical and crowdsourcing layers and for aiding expedition planning, live-location viewing, and overall value at $1.99. However, many reviews warn that the app is retired and no longer maintained; the map often fails to load, and data can be outdated. Stability issues include crashes on iOS 17 and larger devices. Some users feel they were charged for a product that offers no usable access. Overall sentiment is negative due to accessibility and support concerns.

Pros

Rich Bigfoot sightings database with historical and crowdsourcing layers, plus map-linked details.
Valuable tool for planning expeditions and researching sightings.
Low price and good value for the content (about $1.99).
Live location tracking and the ability to view nearby sightings.
Developer responsiveness with updates and fixes (e.g., zoom improvements).

Cons

App is retired/not maintained; the map is unavailable and the app is effectively unusable.
Map often fails to load and in-app features don’t work as expected.
Data is outdated; many sightings are old and not up to date.
Stability issues include crashes on newer iOS versions and larger devices (e.g., iPhone 14 Plus).
Users report being charged for an app that no longer provides usable access.

2026-04-16	Al*****	The app doesn’t work at all. The opening map doesn’t load. The in app features don’t work. It’s like they started building an app and nothing worked and just put it on the App Store. I’d expect more out of Apple. Atleast open the app and make sure it works before you put it on the App Store menu.

2026-03-31	Ed*****	Purchased the app and it won’t open the map. I just get the death wheel and the app says “BigfootViewer retired”. I thought maybe it was an update in progress. Well, if it was it’s still in progress a few weeks later. Hope it’s operational again soon. But I’m not holding my breath.

2026-03-27	Sa*****	Thought I’d check this app out, and what do you know after paying for it? It says it’s retired. Apple sure didn’t hurry to tell you years ago that this app is no longer available and yet takes your money. Hopefully you look through the reviews like I didn’t and see that you shouldn’t waste your money on this app or anything else from this developer.

2026-03-09	Di*****	Bought the app only to find the map has been retired and is no longer viewable… why is this app still here if it’s not usable. Even better why are they still charging for it! What a waste of 2 bucks…

2026-03-08	Ju*****	Bought this app only for them to “retire” the map and no longer have access to old reports.

2026-03-05	RI*****	This was a great resource to see, and post about everything Bigfoot. I paid for the APP, and today, I find Bigfoot Viewer has been retired! NO ACCESS!! Other than a place to report a sighting. I’d like to know why it was ‘retired’.

2024-02-08	Ju*****	Very un impressed. Not worth paying for at all. Map is out of date, in fact most of the sightings are so old they are useless. Mainly they use all of the sightings and copy the BFRO site The map glitches and zooms back out. Very disappointed. Don't pay for it. Nobody is updating this.

2023-12-24	tr*****	Great database tool, thank you for the time put into this app to help people report and find sightings. Unfortunately, after upgrading to iOS 17 it crashes on me if I try to zoom in to much every time. Thank you
