Great app. very useful.

Serious issue with purchase option. I have tried multiple time to purchase and have been unable to. Google account info is fine but Avenza purchase option is not recognizing my account.

Avenza was great before the update. It is terrible now. Avenza, please revert back to the previous version. We were using it for work almost daily and have been very disappointed in the new update. It is literally, terrible...I would not recommend purchasing the Pro or higher versions until they revert back. The previous version was flawless. Please Avenza! Please revert back or make it an option for people to choose the previous version

Avenza Pro has two key features that most competitors lack, specifically the ability to import maps as well as export tracks. That said, it has several near show-stopper failures. It lacks the ability to display multiple maps at once and tracks are tied to specific maps (this is loony). This means it's very awkward and inefficient when operating near a corner of four maps or when needing to reference multiple types of maps while maintaining the same track. These are the worst aspects of what appears to be a very amateur design which is belied by even simple things, such as using the term 'altitude' when the term elevation is by far the more correct term to use for observations. Any competent functionality designer would have known that use of the term 'altitude' means a datum must also be specified and that it's generally preferable to use the term 'elevation' for ground-based observations because it implies use of a specific datum (MSL). Similar evidence of amateur design are rife throughout the program.A side, but important, issue is that there is no recovery of either data or the program itself if your phone is lost or damaged beyond usability unless you recorded a magic key string when purchasing the program.Avenza permits the user to do many useless things while missing the few key basic features that would make it generally useful. The inability to simultaneously display multiple maps and having tracks that must be tied to a map are show-stoppers.

Great Company! Great Maps! I had an issue with maps loading and they fixed problem right away!

Downloaded app to iphone6. Purchased a map that was delivered in 7 sections without any index or other easy way to see what was in each section. The search function did not find locations on the maps so i was reduced to scanning manually thru each map to find the location I wanted. This was a map for the Sierra Mountains in California. Given the non-existent search capability, the product was useless on an iphone.

Avenza Maps is a total game changer for my trips. I've been using this for forest service trial maps and recreational trail maps. Amazing!!! Would have been totally lost on several trails with out it. Previewing maps is a little hard too see but most maps are free so you can just download then and check em out. Great way to explore new areas and find new trails. Thanks Avenza!!!

This may be a decent program since the US Forest Service uses it. To me it is absolutely useless. Sure the staff is helpful answering questions. However, you get stuck buying something that you have no idea if it’s going to work for you because you can’t see a thing in their Preview. It’s blurry and even in the other part, I can’t remember, maybe it’s called excerpts, you’ve no idea what you’re going to buy! I downloaded a map that didn’t have a single regular street name, only county road numbers. I paid for a trail map that didn’t have street names of ANY kind on it. Tell me, how the heck are supposed to know where to go to even start? God forbid you come out somewhere different and need to call for a ride. Yeah, just drive down that road, you know, that big road. Yeah, maybe, I don’t know. Come down about 15 roads till you have to turn or take a dump, whichever comes sooner. They wanted me to buy a $12 or $15 map that was better than the others. What, I should sign over my paycheck so I can keep searching for the right map?!?! I needed to take that dump so I dumped the app. Sorry guys. I hate posting such a negative review but you really need to get your stuff together.Addendum post your reply:So, in interpreting your response it is, “we take no responsibility for content. We only collect your money and run to the bank with it.” Regarding your low-res comment, have you ever tried using it? You must be joking saying so we can see if it’s for our intended use. Better you’d have said nothing.

I find it very strange and interesting that the USFS decided to put maps only available on this app and not any of the highly used and downloaded mainstream apps. There must be some inside deal with kick backs.The app is listed as incompatible with both my android devices, so it looks like I am stuck with a paper map as I will not join the apple cult.
