User Reviews

Users praise myTracks for simplicity, offline maps, iCloud sync, and export, but reliability and monetization concerns recur: freezes and failed recordings, data loss, and paywalls for core features, with occasional iOS compatibility issues.

Pros

Simple, straightforward GPS logger that does what it advertises
Offline vector OpenStreetMap maps reduce storage and work offline
iCloud sync with Mac app for cross-device workflows
Flexible recording options (Diary mode vs normal)
Strong export capabilities (GPX/KML, sharing to Google Earth/Maps)

Cons

Frequent freezes/crashes and failure to record or save tracks
Premium paywall gating essential features (subscription required to continue recording)
Data loss issues: maps or tracks disappearing or not being saved
iOS updates/versions causing compatibility issues or crashes
Some export/sharing options require upgrading or involve cumbersome processes

Recent reviews

This is an extremely well thought through app with a clean UI. Some most useful features include a diary/journal mode which is perfect for worry-free geotagging photos with minimal penalty on battery and storage, as well as a clever short recording mode. However, the offline maps are raster type as explained in QA. I wasn’t able to make them work. Any attempt to zoom makes the map disappear and only hill shades are displayed at best. Is there a way to use a different (paid?) server for vector OS offline maps - for those who value this capability and are willing to pay a premium? Currently, I have to keep AllTrails/Komoot as a backup for offline use.

I use this app to keep track of my garbage routes. I pull it up side by side with the paper route map I’m given to see what streets I’ve finished / still need to go down. Works great for that
