## Review summary

Users like the app for its solid GPS tracking, easy routes, and useful distance/time data, plus attractive walking tracks. However, multiple reviews report crashes and lost tracks, and a heavy premium gate that locks essential features such as maps and unit changes. Unit changes often require an account, and language/localization issues disrupt experience for non-French speakers. Additional bugs include a missing start/stop control and erratic zoom. Improving stability, reducing gating, and fixing localization would address the most frequently mentioned pain points.

### Pros

- Reliable GPS tracking helps you stay on the trail.
- Easy-to-use interface for walking routes.
- Useful data on distance and elapsed time.
- Good variety of tracks and scenic walking options.
- Free version offers baseline functionality and useful features.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and GPS tracking instability leading to lost tracks.
- Premium gating blocks many features (maps, unit changes) and causes payment frustration.
- Inability to change units to metric without an account or premium.
- Language/localization issues (app can be in French; translation quality; language toggle problems).
- UI/bug issues such as missing start/stop button, odd zoom behavior, and unreliable support.
