User Reviews

Users see potential but report persistent flaws. Positives include usable topos/guidebook content on mobile, gym progress tracking, and offline downloads, plus an ad-free indoor-use experience. Recurrent negatives are a confusing UI, frequent crashes, weak search/discovery for grades or crags, login/authentication issues, and limited gym coverage (notably in the USA). These recurring issues overshadow otherwise useful features.
Pros
  • High-quality topos and up-to-date guidebook content on mobile
  • Helps track gym progress and logs climbs
  • Offline area downloads for use without internet
  • No ads in indoor gym mode (free for indoor use)
  • Browser/web version may offer a smoother experience
Cons
  • Poor UI/UX and extremely hard to navigate/learn
  • Frequent crashes and bugs with stability issues
  • Weak search and discovery: cannot search by specific grade or easily find crags/routes
  • Login/authentication problems and scattered sign-in errors
  • Limited gym/area coverage, especially in the USA, with few spots

This app could be so much better. It lacks sooo many basic features. You cannot search for climbs at one specific grade only a range. You can not organize boulder by section once you’re in a certain crag and you hardly can even search for crags. Like you go to search a very common area and the crag just doesn’t show up. Not to mention probably ever 2/5x you open the app it freezes. Many people have reached out to the developers to change things but they don’t appear to care or listen. Could be a great app, even better than mountain project.

App crashes all the time. Too bad

It’s clear that this app holds a lot of crag information but it’s close to impossible to find your way around or navigate to the desired areas without knowing the exact name of the crag or route name. I’ve resorted to using the map and just browsing until I find something interesting and it still feels like a shot in the dark. Half baked at best.
