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

Simple and straight to the point. It does everything it advertises perfectly and does it all without collecting any user data!

Excellent GPS app for recording hikes. Plus: low cost offline subscription, vector Open Street Maps reduce storage, multiple map areas download, iCloud sync with Mac app, track photos, statistics: length, duration, elevation profile, speed profile. Minus: offline map rotation is jerky.
