OS Maps: Walk, Hike, Run, Bike

doubtful rating

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.

About the rating

Store 4.72 versus text 3.13 is a very large gap. Even the five-star reviews describe login errors ('Unknown error occurred'), and while everyone praises the cartography, everyone calls the app around it unreliable.
