• Your lock screen will also show the hike progress. 

• Even if you lose connection to the internet, the app still works via GPS as long as you let it download the local maps before you left internet range.

• Past hikes and photo waypoints are automatically saved in your local phone DB and your private iCloud storage. You can delete them at any time.

• No subscription, no in-app purchases, ever, ever, ever.
• No data is shared to anyone, ever. We do not collect any information except the crash reports Apple sends us.
