An editorial reading of the saved reviews

Ordnance Survey cartography is second to none for everyone, especially for walking around Britain, and the offline mode saves you in rain and on windy cliffs. But the app around the maps falls apart: it constantly logs you out and makes you re-download, it crashes when you zoom on your own downloaded maps, and cancelling the subscription was made nearly impossible.

1 excerpt from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.

Had this app for over 5 years. Unfortunately it’s gone from a simple reliable navigation app to a bloated monster.
